Chapter 15.5, Problem 4fTH
A bicycle coasts up a hill while a car drives up the hill at constant speed. The strobe diagram shows their positions at instants 1−4, separated by equal time intervals. The bicycle comes to rest relative to the road at instant 4.
-
f. Consider the following statement:
“The acceleration of the bicycle must be the same in all inertial frames. Since the bicycle is slowing down in the frame of the road, it must be slowing down in the frame of the car as well.”
Do you agree or disagree? Explain.

When the moving sidewalk at the airport is broken, as it often seems to be, it takes you 50 s to walk from your gate to baggage claim. When it is working and you stand on the moving sidewalk the entire way, without walking, it takes 75 s to travel the same distance. How long will it take you to travel from the gate to baggage claim if you walk while riding on the moving sidewalk?
Two particles are initially at the point (0,0) (the origin) of a coordinate system. Particle A moves along
the positive r-axis with a speed of 2 m/s. Particle B moves along the positive y-axis with a speed of 3 m/s.
2.
How fast is the distance between the two particles changing, when Particle A is 6 meters from the origin?
Draw a diagram of the situation and label it. Answer with an exact value.
