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.

While warming up before the match, Serena Williams is gently bouncing a tennis ball up and down on her racket. She then gives it a powerful upward hit from an initial height of 0.80 m and sends it traveling perfectly vertically. After rising to its maximum height, the ball falls back down to the court. Given that the ball was in the air for a total of 1.91 s, determine its velocity upon hitting the court.
In a baseball game the initial speed of a ball was measured to be 43 m/s. The batter hits and send the ball in the opposite direction with a speed of 51 m/s.
