Physics 11 Review for the Final
Questions from the Black Text “Fundamentals of Physics”
A Suggestion:
Instead of doing every question chapter by chapter, do one or two from one
chapter and then move to the next chapter. Then return to the first chapter and do a few more.

This textbook does not have any Relativity in it so an extra review worksheet is included at the
end of this document.

Physics 11 - Relativity Review
1. Michelson and Morley revolutionized physics in 1887 when they discovered that ether does not
exist. What two assumptions can we draw based on this finding?
2. A dragster, traveling at 2.0 x 108 m/s, completes a 400m (quarter-mile) run in 2.0 x 10-6 s
according to observers in the stands
a) How long did the run take according to the driver?
b) How long is the track according the driver?
c) If the rest mass of the dragster is 1500 kg, what is the mass according to people in the stands?
3. A school bus and a segway move past each other at a relative velocity of 2.76 x 108 m/s. The
person on the segway measures the bus at 3.92 m long.
a) How long is the bus according to students on the bus?
b) How long did it take for the segway to pass according to students on the bus?
c) How long did it take to pass the bus according to the driver of the segway?
d) Who is correct?
4. A student running at 2.4 x 108 m/s throws a frisbee at 1.5 x 108 m/s. What is the velocity of
the
frisbee relative to the ground?
5. At what velocity will an 8 kg cat be 14 kg? State your answer in βc and m/s.
6. How much energy could be produced from an empty pop can (mass = 17 g)?
7. What is the kinetic energy of a proton, mass 1.67 x 10-27 kg, travelling at 2.7 x 108 m/s?
1. i) There is no preferred reference frame for light
ii) The speed of light is constant (3x108 m/s) in every reference frame
2. a) 1.49x10-6 s b) 298 m
c) 2.01x103 kg
3. a) 10m b) 3.62x10-8 s
c) 1.42x10-8 s
d) yes
