Question

A bystander notes that the coordinates of an incident are (10 m, 0 m, 0 m, 7.0 s). What are the

coordinates of this accident as seen by the reporter traveling at 6.0 m/s towards the accident?

Assume that at t = 0, the reporter and by bystander were at the same position.

Answer 1

Minutes to seconds

$(10 m, 0 m, 0 m, 7.0 s) = (10 \times 60+ 0\times 60+0 \times 60+7.0 s) =600+7=607 s$

Therefore, $Distance = Time \times Speed = 607 s \times 6.0 m/s = 3642 m$

The reporter was 3642 m away from the accident.
