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.

If a spaceship traveling through deep space with the velocity vector as a function of time: v = (2t i +4t j+ 6t k) m/s. (time is in seconds). Given the initial position of the spaceship is r0= (20 i− 50 j − 100 k ) m. At what time would the spaceship be the closest to the origin? and What would the acceleration of the spaceship be at this instant? If you can express the acceleration in Cartesian vector form. Also ? is the unit vector in the z-direction.
Two ships leave port at the same time, one ship A sailing in the direction N20degreesW at a speed of 20 mi/hr and the second ship B sailing in the direction S70degrees W at the same speed as A. After one hour, find a) the exact value of the distance between the two ships, b) the bearing from ship B to ship A.
A sailboat sails from Marblehead Harbor directly east for 45 nautical miles, then 60 degree south of east for 20 nautical miles, returns to an easterly heading for 30 nautical miles, and sails 30 degreeeast of north for 10 nautical miles, then west for 62 nautical miles. At that time the boat becomes becalmed and the auxiliary engine fails to start. The crew decides to notify the Coast Guard of their position. What is their position?
You are to program a robotic arm on an assembly line to move in the xy-plane. Its first displacement is A; its second displacement is B, of magnitude 10.00 cm and direction 74.2 deg measured in the sense from the +x-axis toward the -y-axis. The resultant C = A + B of the two displacement s should also have a magnitude of 10.00 cm, but a direction 41.6 deg measured in the sense from the +x-axis toward the +y-axis. (a) Find the magnitude of A. (b) Find the angle of vector A from the +x-axis.
A jetliner can fly 4.8 hours on a full load of fuel. Without any wind, it flies at a speed of 2.68 x102m/s. The plane is to make a round trip by heading due west for a certain distance, turning around, and then heading due east for the return trip. During the entire flight, however, the plane encounters a 69.9 m/s wind from the jet stream, which blows from west to east. What is the maximum distance that the plane can travel due west and just be able to return home?
In an attempt to escape his island, Gilligan builds a raft and sets it to sea. The wind shifts a great deal during the day, and he is blown along the following straight lines:2.50 km 45.0º north of west; then 4.70 km 60.0º south of east; then 1.30 km 25.0º south of west; then 5.10 km straight east; then 1.70 km 5.00º east of north; then 7.20 km 55.0º south of west; and finally 2.80 km 10.0º north of east. What is his final position relative to the island? Be sure to include your vector drawing as part of your solution.
A plane leaves the airport in Manila and flies 170 km east and then changes direction to fly 230 km 58° north of east, after which it makes an immediate emergency landing in a pasture. When the airport sends out a rescue crew, in which direction and how far should this crew fly to go directly to this plane? Use the Law of sines and cosines to solve this problem.
