Chapter 9.7, Problem 9.8QQ
A cruise ship is moving at constant speed through the water. The vacationers on the ship are eager to arrive at their next destination. They decide to try to speed up the cruise ship by gathering at the bow (the front) and running together toward the stem (the back) of the ship. (i) While they are running toward the stern, is the speed of the ship (a) higher than it was before, (b) unchanged, (c) lower than it was before, or (d) impossible to determine? (ii) The vacationers stop running when they reach the stem of the ship. After they have all stopped running, is the speed of the ship (a) higher titan it was before they started running, (b) unchanged from what it was before they started running, (c) lower than it was before they started running, or (d) impossible to determine?

-20. Two cyclists, Mike and Josh, simultaneously started toward each other
from two towns d = 24 km apart. Josh rode at vj = 25 km/h, and Mike
%3D
at UM = 15 km/h. The moment they start, a fly also starts from Josh
towards Mike and after reaching Mike, immediately returns towards
Josh. The fly continues back and forth motion between the cyclists till
the cyclists meet. Air speed of fly is UF = 30 km/h and the wind blows
always towards Mike with a constant velocity u = 10 km/h. Find the
total distance s flown by the fly.

cruise ship is running toward the bow (front) of the ship
at 2.2 m/s while the ship is moving ahead at 7.5 m/s What
is the velocity of the jogger relative to the water? Later,
the jogger is moving toward the stern (rear) of the ship.
