Observer 1 rides in a car and drops a ball from rest straight downward, relative to the interior of the car. The car moves horizontally with a constant speed of 3.50 m/s relative to observer 2 standing on the sidewalk. (a) What is the speed of the ball 1.00 s after it is released, as measured by observer 2? (b) What is the direction of travel of the ball 1.00 s after it is released, as measured relative to the horizontal by observer 2?

- A van had a small light in the ceiling of the cargo bay. When the van is accelerating east at a rate of 2.99 m/s^2, the light bulb rattles loose and falls to the floor. Determine the acceleration relative to the earth and its direction and the acceleration relative to the van and it’s direction.arrow_forwardTwo roads cross at right angles. An observer stands on the road 50 meters south of the intersection and watches an eastbound car traveling at 45 meters per second. At how many meters per second is the car moving away from the observer 5 seconds after it passes through the intersection?arrow_forwardtwo friend 50m apart are walking towards each other in a straight road. Man A is walking at a speed of 0.25m/s while the Man B is walking at 0.8m/s. If a pigeon above man A flies towards man B at a constant speed of 5 m/s and flies back again to man A when it is above man B. This goes on until two friends meet. Assuming that there is no speed loss every time the pigeon changes its direction. Determine the total distance that the pigeon flew?arrow_forward
- Two speedboats are traveling at the same speed relative to the water in opposite directions in a moving river. An observer on the riverbank sees the boats moving at V₁0 = 4.90 m/s and V20 =5.90 m/s. (a) What is the speed of each boat relative to the river? Vbr m/s (b) How fast is the river moving relative to the shore? m/s Vroarrow_forwardTwo particles are attracted to each other. Particle B is initially at rest and 100 meters away along the positive direction from particle A. Particle A is being held in a fixed position at the origin. Particle B’s velocity back toward particle A is described by the function vb(t)=-(3m/s^2)t^2 a) What is the acceleration of Particle B as a function of time? b) What is the position of Particle B as a function of time? c) How long does it take for particle B to reach particle A at the origin? d) How fast is particle B moving when it reaches particle A?arrow_forwardWhen the moving sidewalk at the airport is broken, as it often seems to be, it takes you 50 s to walk from your gate to baggage claim. When it is working and you stand on the moving sidewalk the entire way, without walking, it takes 75 s to travel the same distance. How long will it take you to travel from the gate to baggage claim if you walk while riding on the moving sidewalk?arrow_forward
- Two particles A and B start from rest at the origin s=0 and move along a straight line such that aA = (6t - 3) ft/s² and ag = (12t2-8) ft/s2, where t is in seconds. Determine the distance between them when t=6 s.arrow_forwardArugby player runs with the ball directly toward his opponent's goal, along the positive direction of an x axis. He can legally pass the ball to a teammate as long as the ball's velocity relative to the field does not have a positive × component. Suppose the player runs at speed 4.5 m/s relative to the field while he passes the ball with velocity O Bp relative to himself. If O Bp has magnitude 6.4 m/s, what is the smallest angle it can have (relative to the positive direction of the x axis) for the pass to be legal?arrow_forwardA boat sails from the pier at Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco at 3.40 m/s, directly toward Alcatraz. A kite rider heads directly away from Alcatraz toward the boat at a relative speed of 6.40 m/s, according to the skipper of the sailboat. 1) Calculate the velocíty of the kite rider relative to the pier. Use a coordinate system where positive x direction is along the motion toward the island. (Express your answer to three significant figures.) m/s Submitarrow_forward
- An athlete crosses a 28 meters wide river by swimming perpendicular to the water current at a speed of 1.1 m/s relative to the water. He reaches the opposite side at a distance of 42 meters downstream from his starting point. w = 28md = 42m vs = 1.1m/s How fast is the water in the river flowing with respect to the ground in m/s?arrow_forwardA particle moves through 3-space in such a way that its acceleration is a(t)= 8sin 2ri +8cos 2tj+e'k . where t is time measured in seconds. The initial velocity of the particle is v, = 2i – 3j+k. At time t = t , find i) the velocity vector of the particle. ii) the scalar tangential and normal components of acceleration.arrow_forward
