Question 1

What is the equation for yβ€² in Galilean transformations?

  • yβ€² = y - vt
  • yβ€² = y
  • yβ€² = y + vt

πŸ’‘ Hint: Note how the motion affects this direction.

Question 2

In Galilean transformations, is time absolute?

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how it pairs with speed.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A train and a car move parallel with the train traveling at 80 km/h and car at 50 km/h. How would a passenger in the train calculate the car’s speed?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember to subtract the speed of the slower object from the speed of the faster object.

Question 2

Two observers are standing on a platform as a train passes by. Observer A indicates the train is 200 meters long, while observer B on the train thinks it's 190 meters. Why the difference?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about different perspectives of measurement based on relative speed.
