3. A baseball is thrown upward from the top of Otto Hahn (which is 7 floors high) with an initial speed of 18 ft/s. Mr. Nakset who is on the 7 floor sees it pass by as it falls to the ground. If one floor is ten feet high and the eye level of Mr. Nakset is 5 feet from the floor, how many seconds have passed from when it was released to when Mr. Nakset saw it?
Explain why, when defining the length of a rod, it is necessary to specify that the positions of the ends of the rod are to be measured simultaneously.
The great astronomer Edwin Hubble discovered that all distant galaxies are receding from our Milky Way Galaxy with velocities proportional to their distances. It appears to an observer on the Earth that we are at the center of an expanding universe. Figure 3.64 illustrates this for five galaxies lying along a straight line, with the Milky Way Galaxy at the center. Using the data from the figure, calculate the velocities: (a) relative to galaxy 2 and (b) relative to galaxy 5. The results mean that observers on all galaxies will see themselves at the center of the expanding universe, and they would likely be aware of relative velocities, concluding that it is not possible to locate the center of expansion with the given information. Figure 3.64 Five galaxies on a straight line, showing their distances and velocities relative to the Milky Way (MW) Galaxy. The distances are in millions of light years (Mly), where a light year is the distance light travels in one year. The velocities are nearly proportional to the distances. The sizes of the galaxies are greatly exaggerated; an average galaxy is about 0.1 MlY across.
Suppose an astronaut is moving relative to the Earth at a significant fraction of the speed of light. (a) Does he observe the rate of his clocks to have slowed? (b) What change in the rate of Earth-bound clocks does he see? (c) Does his ship seem to him to shorten? (d) What about the distance between stars that lie on lines parallel to his motion? (e) Do he and an Earth-bound observer agree on his velocity relative to the Earth?

Suzanne observes two light pulses to be emitted from the same location, but separated in time by 3.00 s. Mark sees the emission of the same two pulses separated in time by 9.00 s. (a) How fast is Mark moving relative to Suzanne? (b) According to Mark, what is the separation in space of the two pulses?
Light travels at a speed of about 3 103 m/s. (a) How many miles down a pulse of light travel in a time interval of 0.1 s, which is about the blink of an eye? (b) Compare this distance to the diameter of Earth.
Events 1 and 2 are exploding firecrackers that each emit light pulses. In the reference frame of the detector, event 1 leaves a char mark at a distance 3.40 m from the detector, and event 2 leaves a similar mark at a distance 2.10 m from the detector. If the two events are simultaneous in the reference frame of the detector and occur at instant t = 0, at what instant of time will each light pulse be detected?
Two triggers, 20 feet apart, activate when a car's tires run over them. The time between the two signals is 0.4 seconds. 1) Calculate the speed of the car in mph. (This may speed your conversion: 88 ft/s = 60 mph.) 2) how might someone evade the speed trap, if he spots it just as he's about to hit the first signal?
