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.

Problem 7 (10pts). Consider a person throwing a ball upward into the air with an initial speed of vo= 10m/s. Assume that at the instant when the ball is released, the person's hand is at a height ho = 1:5m above the ground level. Neglecting the possible effects of air resistance, determine the maximum height h₁ that the ball reached, the total time t₂ it took for the ball to ascend and descend, and the speed v₂ of the ball just before it hit the ground. ho hi
