A man is traveling from the back of a boat to the front of the boat at 2.0 m/s while the boat itself is traveling at 12.0 m/s to

ward a dock. How far will the man move across the boat in 4.0 seconds? Relative to the dock, how far will the man move in 4.0 seconds?

Based on the relative velocity of the man with respect to the boat and the dock:

  • Distance covered in 4.0 seconds relative to the boat  = 8 m
  • Distance covered in 4.0 seconds relative to the dock = 56 m

<h3>What is relative velocity?</h3>

Relative velocity is the velocity of a body relative to another body which serves as a reference point.

Relative velocity is a vector.

Considering the velocity of the man and the boat:

The relative velocity of the man with respect to the boat = 2.0 m/s

Distance covered in 4.0 seconds relative to the boat = 2.0 m/s * 4.0 s

Distance moved = 8 m

Relative velocity of the man with respect to the dock = 12 + 2 = 14 m/s

Distance covered in 4.0 seconds relative to the dock = 14.0 m/s * 4.0 s

Distance moved = 56 m

In conclusion, the relative velocity is velocity with respect to a reference point.

An 80-kilogram skier slides on waxed skis along a horizontal surface of snow at constant velocity while pushing with his poles.
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

The force F is created by the reaction of the Earth to the thrust of the rods, whereby the thrust is created by a force of action and reaction.

Explanation:

To answer this question, let's write Newton's second law of the two axes

Y Axis  

        Fy + N - W = 0

        Fy + N = W

X axis

       Fx - fr = 0

      Fx = fr

The force F is created by the reaction of the Earth to the thrust of the rods, whereby the thrust is created by a force of action and reaction.

   The direction of this force is along the length of the rods that are in an Angle, where the x and y components of the force come from

In general this force is small because the rubbing of the skis is small

A wheel starts from rest and rotates with constant angular acceleration to reach an angular speed of 11.2 rad/s in 3.07 s. (a) f
Hitman42 [59]
(a) The angular acceleration of the wheel is given by
\alpha =  \frac{\omega_f - \omega_i }{t}
where \omega_i and \omega_f are the initial and final angular speed of the wheel, and t the time.

In our problem, the initial angular speed is zero (the wheel starts from rest), so the angular acceleration is
\alpha =  \frac{(11.2 rad/s) - 0}{3.07 s} =3.65 rad/s^2

(b) The wheel is moving by uniformly rotational accelerated motion, so the angle it covered after a time t is given by
\theta (t) = \omega_i t +  \frac{1}{2} \alpha t^2
where \omega_i = 0 is the initial angular speed. So, the angle covered after a time t=3.07 s is
\theta=  \frac{1}{2}  \alpha t^2 =  \frac{1}{2}(3.65 rad/s^2)(3.07 s)^2 = 17.2 rad
