In which situation will two objects, each traveling with a speed of 2 m/s, have the greatest relative motion? a. the relative motion will be greatest when the objects are traveling in the same direction. b. the relative motion will be greatest when the objects are both traveling in the negative direction. c. the relative motion will be greatest when the objects are traveling in opposite directions. d. the relative motion will be greatest when one object comes to a stop and the other object continues to travel at 2 m/s.

Abird flies directly overhead from where you stand at an altitude of 300.0 m and at a speed horizontal to the ground of 20.0 m/s. the bird has a mass of 2.0 kg. the radius vector to the bird makes an angle \thetaθ with respect to the ground. the radius vector to the bird and its momentum vector lie in the xyxy-plane. what is the bird’s angular momentum about the point where you are standing?

Simon is writing a story about an astronaut whose spacecraft has been boarded by space pirates. the astronaut has her lucky penny in her hand behind her back as the space pirates break into the control room. she has just locked the controls so that the ship is accelerating in the direction of the control room’s ceiling. simon wants the astronaut to use the penny to hit a button on the control panel to turn off the lights and escape. the button is located a short distance behind and below the astronaut’s hands. how should simon use the theory of relativity to describe what the astronaut must do in order to hit the button?

Ahot-air balloon takes off from the ground traveling vertically with a constant upward acceleration of magnitude g/4. after time interval δt, a crew member releases a ballast sandbag from the basket attached to the balloon. how many seconds does it take the sandbag to reach the ground? (express your answer in terms of δt)
