Question
A man walks at 4 ft/s on the roof of a train that is traveling at 40 ft/s. The train is reducing its speed at rate of 10 ft/s. At the instant shown, a car travels at
50 ft/s along a circular curve as shown. It is reducing its speed at a rate of 25 ft/s". Determine the velocity and acceleration of the man as seen by the driver of the
car.
Verain = 40 ft/s
atrain = 10 ft/s2
Vman/train = 4 ft/s
Vear = 50 ft/s
!!
ar.car = 25 ft/s2
30°
100 ft
