Chapter S2, Problem 25EAP
Does It Make Sense?
Decide whether the statement makes sense (or is clearly true) or does not make sense (or is clearly false). Explain clearly; not all of these have definitive answers, so your explanation is more important than your chosen answer.
25. If you see someone's time running slowly in a different reference frame, that person must see your time running fast.

6. A train is moving with a constant speed. The train moves 60 meters for every 1.5 seconds that
elapses.
a. Assume that we get 40 by dividing 60 by 1.5. What is the name that is commonly given
to a quantity represented by this number 40?
b. To denote the quantity completely, what additional information must be given besides the
number 40?
c. How would you interpret the number 40 in this instance? Your answer should mention
distance and time.
d. Use your interpretation (not algebra) to find the distance the train moves in 2.5 seconds.
