Concept explainers

Relative Velocity

It is a measurement of an object with regards to the other object which is moving or stable or stationary. For example, if we are traveling in a bus and the bus is moving at speed of 50km/hr, then our speed is according to the nearby passenger on the bus is zero. According to them, we are not moving. But if one person standing on the ground or road observes us from outside of the bus, according to him we are moving at a speed of 50km/hr and the bus is also moving at a speed of 50km/hr. Now, the motion is recognized by the observer, it depends on a frame of reference or observer. This is motion called relative motion.

Question

boat with a speed of 8.0 m/s relative to the water leaves the south bank and
heads in such a way that it crosses to a point directly north of its departure
point. How long does it take the boat to cross the river?

A kayaker needs to paddle north across a 100-mm-wide harbor. The tide is going out, creating a tidal current that flows to the east at 2.0 m/sm/s. The kayaker can paddle with a speed of 3.0 m/sm/s. In which direction should he paddle in order to travel straight across the harbor? How long will it take him to cross?

The water in a river flows uniformly at a constant speed of 2.50 m/s between parallel banks 80.0 m apart. You are to deliver a package directly across the river, but you can swim only at 1.50 m/s. a) If you choose to minimize the time you spend in the water, in what direction should you head ? b) How far downstream will you be carried ? c) What If ? If you choose to minimize the distance downstream that the river carries you, in what direction should you head ? d) How far downstream will you be carried ?
Dr. Liu is learning how to juggle. He tosses a tennis ball (probably bad choice since it is so bouncy) up at 2.0 m/s at a height 1.6 m above the floor and attempts to use the other hand to catch the falling ball. The ball hit the floor at his feet. How long was Dr. Liu's tennis ball in the air (between tossing and landing)? Ignore air drag. He should probably practice tossing his juggling ball at the same height and same speed before attempting to juggle. Hint: You can set the final position to be zero.
