3. Describe Einstein’s First Postulate of Special Relativity.

4. Explain a situation where you experienced the First Postulate of Special Relativity.

5. If you are riding a bike at 10.0 m/s and throw a ball forward with a velocity of 4.00 m/s, will the ball travel 4.00 m/s relative to the ground, or will it travel at 10.0 m/s plus another 4.00 m/s relative to the ground? Explain your reasoning.

6. Describe Einstein’s Second Postulate of Special Relativity.

7. According to Einstein’s Second Postulate, if you are moving 10.0 m/s on a bicycle with a headlight on, will the light from the bicycle have a velocity of 3.00 x 108 m/s or will it have a velocity of 3.00 x 108 m/s plus 10.0 m/s? Explain your reasoning.
