Treat the following problem according to classical (Galilean) mechanics. A physics student is standing next to an electricity pole by the side of a straight stretch of a road holding a speed measuring instrument. As the two buses pass, the student notes that the one in front, Bf, has a constant speed of 60.00km/hr, the other, B,, has constant speed of 45.00km/hr. A passenger at the back sit of bus Bf throws an orange at a speed of v, relative to the thrower, straight ahead to another passenger: If the student's instrument determines that the orange moves at a speed of 20.14ms-1 relative to the student, determine v. What is the speed of the orange as observed by a passenger in bus Bp? What is the velocity of the electric pole as observed by a passenger in bus B,, and as observed by the physics student? i.
