Mathematics · Speed, Time and Distance
A car is moving collinearly with a laser beam emitted by a transceiver. A laser pulse emitted at t = 0 s is received back by the transceiver 100 ns later after reflection from the car. A second pulse emitted at t = 0.1 s is received back 90 ns later. Given the speed of light is 3 × 108 m/s, the average speed of the car in this interval is:
- 1108 km/h, moving away from the transceiver
- 254 km/h, moving away from the transceiver
- 3108 km/h, moving towards the transceiver
- 454 km/h, moving towards the transceiver✓
Correct answer
54 km/h, moving towards the transceiver
