Question

1. describe a scenario that makes it seem like youre still when in reality are travelling at a constant speed. write as a student sample answer paragraph that rewrites the question as an answer and describes it as instructed.

Explanation:

When traveling in a car on a smooth, straight highway with no visible external landmarks (like trees or buildings passing by quickly) and the car is moving at a constant speed, it can seem like you're still. For example, if you're inside a well - insulated car with no wind noise and you close your eyes, you might not feel the motion. Or if you look only at the interior of the car (which is moving with you at the same constant speed), everything inside appears stationary relative to you. Another example is when flying in an airplane at a constant altitude and speed. If you look around the cabin, the objects inside (seats, overhead compartments) seem still, even though the plane is moving at a high constant speed through the air.

Answer:

A scenario where it seems like you're still when actually traveling at a constant speed is when you're in a car on a smooth, straight highway with no visible external landmarks and the car is moving at a constant speed. You could also be in an airplane at a constant altitude and speed, looking around the cabin where objects seem still.
