A stone is thrown down a bridge at an initial velocity of 10 m/s and an angle of 36.9° from the vertical, as shown. At the same instant, a boat is passing under the bridge traveling 6.0 m/s in the direction direction shown. (a) Find the vertical and horizontal components of the initial velocity of the rock as seen by a person on the bridge. Indicate clearly in your resolution your choice of axes. (b) Using concepts of relative relative motion, find the vertical and horizontal components of the initial velocity of the rock as seen by the person in the boat. Indicate, clearly, in your drawing your choice of axes. (c) Will the rock fall into the boat (disregard the size size of the boat)? Justify

Question

A stone is thrown down a bridge at an initial velocity of 10 m/s and an angle of 36.9° from the vertical, as shown. At the same instant, a boat is passing under the bridge traveling 6.0 m/s in the direction direction shown. (a) Find the vertical and horizontal components of the initial velocity of the rock as seen by a person on the bridge. Indicate clearly in your resolution your choice of axes. (b) Using concepts of relative relative motion, find the vertical and horizontal components of the initial velocity of the rock as seen by the person in the boat.
Indicate, clearly, in your drawing your choice of axes. (c) Will the rock fall into the boat (disregard the size
size of the boat)? Justify.
