Which rock hits the ground with the greatest speed? (Ignore air friction.) A. Rock A B. Rock B C. Rock C D. Rocks A and C hit with the same speed, faster than B. E. All three rocks hit with the same speed.
Answer the following statement(s) true (T) or false (F)
1. Suppose you are in a train traveling at one-half of the speed of light relative to the earth. Assuming that photons emitted by the train’s headlight travel at the speed of light relative to you, they would (according to the Galilean velocity transformation) travel at 1.5 times the speed of light relative to the earth. 2. Suppose you are in a spaceship traveling at twice the speed of light relative to the earth. Assuming that the Galilean transformation equations are true and the earth is approximately at rest relative to the ether, light from the ship’s taillight will never reach the ship’s bridge at its front end.
