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.

The following problem involves directions in the form of bearing, which we defined in this section. Remember thatbearing is always measured from a north-south line.A boat leaves the harbor entrance and travels 22 miles in the direction N 42◦E. The captain then turns the boat90◦and travels another 19 miles in the direction S 48◦E. At that time, how far is the boat from the harborentrance, and what is the bearing of the boat from the harbor entrance (see the figure below)? (Round youranswers to the nearest whole number.)
