Here we use relative velocity concept to find the absolute velocity of ship in Q1.
1) A steam ship is sailing along the Congo River at 10 mph and with a...
Please show work 1. A 0.25 km wide river has a uniform flow speed of 4.2 m/s toward the east. It takes 23 s for a boat departing from the south bank to travel straight across the river to a position directly north of its departure. a) In what direction must the boat be pointed so as to accomplish this? Express your final answer relative to the North direction. (Hint: Start by drawing a right triangle representing the vector addition)...
1) . A passenger on a moving train walks at a speed of 1.90 m/s due north relative to the train. The passenger's speed with respect to the ground is 4.5 m/s at an angle of 31.0° west of north. What are the magnitude and direction of the velocity of the train relative to the ground? 2) A ship sets sail from Rotterdam, The Netherlands, heading due north at 8.00 m/s relative to the water. The local ocean current is...
