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.

Suppose someone finds herself with her rowboat on the bank of a river that is 3 km wide. Her campsite is on the other side of the river, 8 km down the river bank from her starting point. First, she will row her boat across the river, then walk along the river bank to her campsite. She can row 3 kph in the river, and walk along the river bank at 5 kph. We can assume that the current in the river is negligible. Toward what point, in miles, on the other side of the river should she row in order to reach her campsite in the least time? Note: Omit units of measurement from your answer. Round to the nearest thousandth. Solution:
a vote can navigate at 2 m/s in still water. Determine what the speed of the vote is relative to the shore if it sails against the current moving at 1.2 m/s. What would be the position of the vote relative to its original position after 3 seconds.
