CASE 1. A and B are both driving in the same direction along afreeway. A's car speedometer reads 55 mph while B's speedometershows 60 mph.
A. Use formula and solution to prove or disprove that: (Rubric 5x 3 = 15 marks)
(1) 60 mph is the true speed of B.
(2) B's speed relative to A is only 5 mph
(3) B's speed is 120 mph relative to a driver approaching fromthe other direction at 60 mph
B. Conceptual symbols (Point system, 10 marks)
C. Analysis of the case (Rubric 5 x 3 = 15 marks)
(1) True speed and velocity
(2) Formula and analysis to define velocity
(3) Object's velocity relative to or with respect to, thecoordinate system in which it is measured
