Question 1

An observer at rest sees an object at position x = 150 m. If the observer is moving at 40 m/s, what is the position in the moving frame after 5 seconds?

💡 Hint: Calculate how far the moving observer shifts the position.

Question 2

A light from a moving car shines forward. If the car moves at 60 km/h, what transformation equation describes light's behavior seen from a stationary observer?

💡 Hint: Is it under Galilean if the speed of light remains unchanged?
