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.

Choose one equation (and only one) from the equation sheet that would let you solve the problem posed. Then define which variables in the equation go with what numbers from the problem itself (not from other problems), and define which variable is being solved for. Do not actually solve the problem numerically or algebraically, just pick the one equation and define the relevant knowns and single unknown. Don’t forget to include direction when called for by a vector variable. 1) A single mole of Carbon Dioxide has a mass of 44 g, and at 1.00 atm of pressure and 20oC (293K) it occupies 22.4 liters.
