Problem

2.0\,\text{kg}

suitcase slides forward along the aisle of a train at

3.0\,\text{m/s}

relative to the train. The train travels east at

10.0\,\text{m/s}

relative to the ground. Determine the suitcase’s translational kinetic energy as measured by an observer standing on the ground. a)

1.1\times10^{2}\,\text{J}

4.9\times10^{1}\,\text{J}

1.7\times10^{2}\,\text{J}

1.0\times10^{2}\,\text{J}
