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 radar station sends a signal to a ship which is located a distance 13.8 kilometers from the station at bearing 136° clockwise from the north. At the same moment, a helicopter is at a horizontal range of 19.6 kilometers, at bearing 146° clockwise from the north, with an elevation of 2.56 kilometers. Let east be the î direction, north be the ĵ direction, and up be the direction. a) What If? The ship begins to sink at a rate of 5.50 m/s. Write the position vector (in km) of the ship relative to the helicopter as a function of time as the ship sinks. Assume that the helicopter remains hovering at its initial position and that the sinking rate remains the same even after the ship sinks under the surface.
