Your physics professor is foolishly standing out in a field during a thunderstorm and measures two bolts of lightning to hit two trees at opposite ends of the field at exactly the same time. you, being considerably less foolish, are driving by in a car on a road right next to the field at a speed v when the lightning bolts strike the trees, one of which is in front of the car, the other of which is behind it. you happen to line up with the professor right when he observes the lightning bolts strike the trees. as measured by you in the car, a. the lightening bolts appear to hit at dofferent times, but once you factor in your speed in the car, you will agree that the bolts hit the trees at the same time. b. the lightening bolts do not hit both trees. c. the lightning bolts hit the trees at the same time. d. the lightening bolts do not hit the trees at the same time.

(a) assume the equation x = at^3 + bt describes the motion of a particular object, with x having the dimension of length and t having the dimension of time. determine the dimensions of the constants a and b. (use the following as necessary: l and t, where l is the unit of length and t is the unit of time.) (b) determine the dimensions of the derivative dx/dt = 3at^2 + b. (use the following as necessary: l and t, where l is the unit of length and t is the unit of time.)

At a certain instant after jumping from the airplane a, a skydiver b is in the position shown and has reached a terminal (constant) speed vb = 52 m/s. the airplane has the same constant speed va = 52 m/s, and after a period of level flight is just beginning to follow the circular path shown of radius ρa = 2330 m. (a) determine the velocity and acceleration of the airplane relative to the skydiver. (b) determine the time rate of change of the speed vr of the airplane and the radius of curvature ρr of its path, both as observed by the nonrotating skydiver.
