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 man paddles a canoe in a long, straight section of a river. The canoe moves downstream with constant speed 3 m/s relative to the water. The river has a steady current of 1 m/s relative to the bank. The mans hat falls into the river. Five minutes later, he notices that his hat is missing and immediately turns the canoe around, paddling upriver with the same constant speed of 3 m/s relative to the water. How long does it take the man to row back upriver to reclaim his hat?
