What is the scalar wave equation in three space dimensions?

OpenStudy (elusive):

@ganeshie8 Sorry I accidentally closed the question

OpenStudy (elusive):

"If you are walking at 1 m/s inside a bus that is travelling at 10 m/s on a road, what is your velocity with reference to road ?"

OpenStudy (elusive):

Velocity = d/t ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Heyy

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

That first question is very, very different to "If you are walking at 1 m/s inside a bus that is travelling at 10 m/s on a road, what is your velocity with reference to road ?" You should be able to solve this if you think about it. If the bus moves forward at 10 m/s, and you move forward at 1m/s inside it, how fast are you moving? (relative to the ground) If the bus moves forward at 10 m/s, and you move backward at 1m/s inside it, how fast are you moving? (relative to the ground)

OpenStudy (elusive):

How do you solve that with mathematical equations?

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

If the bus moves at speed v, and you move forward at speed a Your speed relative to the ground is v+a If you move backward; v-a

OpenStudy (elusive):

and the velocity?

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Velocity is just speed with direction... How are your questions so vastly different?

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Like how are you asking basic stuff about velocity along with your other questions??

OpenStudy (elusive):

@agent0smith Me and @ganeshie8 were having a conversation about the theory of relativity, but the one about dimensions is my original question.
