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 surveyor measures the distance across a river that flows straight north by the following method. Starting directly across from a tree on the opposite bank, the surveyor walks 100 m along the river to establish a baseline. She then sights across to the tree and reads that the angle from the baseline to the tree is 35 . How wide is the river?
A plane flies from base camp to Lake A, 280 km away in the direction 20.0 north of east. After dropping off supplies, it flies to Lake B, which is 190 km at 30.0 west of north from Lake A. Graphically determine the distance and direction from Lake B to the base camp.
A trapper walks a 5.0-km straigt4ine distance from his cabin to the lake, as shown in the following figure. Use a graphical method (the parallelogram rule) to determine the trapper’s displacement directly to the east and displacement directly to the north that sum up to his resultant displacement vector. If the trapper walked only in directions east and north, zigzagging his way to the lake, how many kilometers would he have to walk to get to the lake?
An adventurous dog strays from home, runs three blocks east, two blocks north, and one block east, one block north, and two blocks west.

How would your answer be affected if each block was about 100 m?
A fly enters through an open window and zooms around the room.

Find the scalar components of the fly’s displacement vector and express its displacement vector in vector component form. What is its magnitude?
