The water in the river v BA.

5 Relative Motion Practice: Concepts Three motorboats are crossing a river. All have the same speed relative to the water. (a) ketch resultant vectors for each boat showing the speed and direction of the boats. Rank them from most to least for (b) the fastest ride. (c) the time to reach the opposite shore. 1 Figure and question from Hewitt, Conceptual Physics.

6 Relative Motion Practice uppose the river is 50 m wide, the motorboats move at 5 m/s relative to the water, the river has a current of 1 m/s, and that boat A makes an angle of 30 to the horizontal and boat C makes an angle of 60 to the horizontal as shown in the picture. (a) How long does it take each boat to cross? (b) How far downstream is boat B when it reaches the opposite shore? 1 Figure from Hewitt, Conceptual Physics.

7 Another Boat Question You are riding in a boat whose speed relative to the water is 6.1 m/s. The boat points at an angle of 25 upstream on a river flowing at 1.4 m/s. What is your velocity relative to the ground? 1 Figure from Walker, Physics.

The angle the velocity makes to the x-axis will be less than 25. v! bg = v! bw + v! wg s in the 1 Figurev! wg from= Walker, m/s2yn Physics.

12 Relative Motion Practice You are riding on a Jet ki at an angle of 35 upstream on a river flowing with a speed of 2.8 m/s. If your velocity relative to the ground is 9.5 m/s at an angle of 20.0 upstream, what is the speed of the Jet ki relative to the water? (Note: Angles are measured relative to the x axis, which points across the river.) 1 Walker, Physics, ch 3, problem 55.

14 Relative Motion Practice For the same river, suppose the Jet ki is moving at a speed of 12 m/s relative to the water. (a) At what angle must you point the Jet ki if your velocity relative to the ground is to be perpendicular to the shore of the river? (b) If you increase the speed of the Jet ki relative to the water, does the angle in part (a) increase, decrease, or stay the same? Explain. (Note: Angles are measured relative to the x axis, which points across the river.) 1 Walker, Physics, ch 3, problem 56.
