Chapter 24, Problem 5RQ
If you are riding a bike at 10.0 m/s and throw a ball forward with a velocity of 4.00 m/s, will the ball travel 4.00 m/s relative to the ground, or will it travel at 10.0 m/s plus another 4.00 m/s relative to the ground? Explain your reasoning.

You encounter a moving walkway that is 81 m long and has a speed of 2.1 m/s relative to the ground.
How long would it take you to cover the 81 m length of the walkway if, once you get on the walkway, you immediately turn around and start walking in the opposite direction with a speed of 1.6 m/s relative to the walkway?
Express your answer using one significant figure.
Daniel takes his two dogs, Pauli the Pointer and Newton the Newfoundland, out to a field and lets them loose to exercise. Both
dogs sprint away in different directions while Daniel stands still. From Daniel's point of view, Newton runs due North at 4.65
m/s, but from Pauli's point of view, Newton appears to be moving at 2.10 m/s due East. What must Pauli's velocity relative to
Daniel be for this to be true? Express your answer in terms of the x- and y-components if North is the +y-direction and East
is the +x-direction.
x-component:
m/s
Y-component:
m/s
Express your answer as a magnitude and an angle measured counter-clockwise from due East.
magnitude & direction:
at a angle
counter-clockwise from due East
