F=ma 50= 20 x a a = 2.5m/s^2 v = u+at Here is a is -ve to stop 0 = 15 - 2.5xt 2.5t = 15 t = 6 So, it will take 6 seconds the body to stop

Why is only the speed of light constant in all frames of reference?
The only thing that affects the speed of light is the refractive index of the medium through which it moves, and for space, this number is 1.000000 and gives you the maximum possible speed of light.

Suppose some electricity is flowing through a long straight wire without any insulating coating that gives an electric shock to a person at rest relative to the wire on touching it. Is there a speed with which if the person runs along the wire in the direction of current flowing such that he/she does not experience any shock?
It is an excellent, thought-provoking question! Suppose a person runs along the direction of electron motion with the same speed of an electron. Then for him, electrons are at rest means zero current in...
