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.

Consider a grey squirrel falling from a tree to the ground. Use a coordinate system in which positive is downward for this problem. a) Find the squirrel’s velocity, in meters per second, just before hitting the ground when it falls from a height of 1.3 m. Ignore air resistance. b) The squirrel softens its landing by bending its legs when it touches the ground, thereby stopping itself over a distance of 7.6 cm. Assuming a constant rate of deceleration, find the squirrel’s acceleration during this process, in meters per second squared.
