Chapter 4, Problem 72PQ
An observer sitting on a park bench watches a person walking behind a runner. Figure P4.72A is the motion diagram representing what this observer sees. To better reveal the changing distance between runner and walker, five observations (A through E) are shown on five separate lines in Figure P4.72B. To the observer on the bench, both the runner and the walker move to the right, and the gap between them widens. Draw the motion diagram of the runner from the reference frame of the walker.

From your point of view, the ant farm appears as a 2D plane in which ants can move vertically (up/down) or horizontally (Ileft right). The ant starts by walking up at a speed of 5.8 millimeters per second (mm/s). After 19 seconds, it turn left. The tunnel that the ant is crawling through is a bit more constricted, and so it slows down to 0.7 mm/s and continues walking in that direction for another 12 seconds. WVhen it reaches the edge of the ant farm, it turns right and tries to walk along the wall to reach the surface. With the sun inview, it speeds up to 6.4 mm/s for 11 seconds until it finally reaches the surface. At this point, how far (in centimeters) is the ant from its starting point? Note: 1 mm - 10 m, 1 cm = 10 marrow_forward
