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.

A plane travels from Detroit to Seattle WA and back (Seattle is to the West ofDetroit). In both trips the plane’s engines provide full power, giving the plane a speed of800 km/h relative to the surrounding air. During both trips there is uniform wind relativeto the ground with a velocity pointing toward the southeast at 45◦relative to the westeast axis. Assume the time spent for lift-off and landing maneuvers to be insignificant.Which of the following is correct?A) The trip from Detroit to Seattle takes more timeB) The trip from Seattle to Detroit takes more timeC) Both trips take the same timeD) Not enough information, we also need the to know the magnitude of the velocity ofthe wind
Two airplanes leave the Hay River airport in the Northwest Territories at the same time. One airplane travels at 370 km/h. The other airplane travels at 520 km/h. About 2 h later, they are 930 km apart. Determine the angle between their paths, to the nearest degrec.
The Airbus A350 from Manila bound for St. Petersburg cannot travel in a straight route due to weather disturbances and some restrictions in the air space. Instead, it travelled at a velocity of 740 kph due 25° NNE, then it turned towards East at a velocity of 870 kph. After that, at a velocity of 900 kph, it ventured 35° WNW, then it turned 50° South of West maintaining the same velocity of 900 kph. Finally, to reach its destination, it needs to turn towards west at a velocity of 350 kph. Find the magnitude and direction of the resultant of the airplane’s velocity during its flight.
A ship sets sail from Rotterdam, The Netherlands, intending to head due north at 7.5 m/s relative to the water. However, the local ocean current is 1.50 m/s in a direction 40.0º north of east and changes the ship's intended motion. In what direction would the ship have to travel in order to have a resulant velocity straight north relative to the earth, assuming the speed relative to the water reamins 7.5 m/s? Specicify the angle west of north, relative to earth? And what would the ship's speed be relative to the Earth, in meters per second
