A person on a cruise ship is doing laps on the promenade deck. on one portion of the track the person is moving north with a spe

ed of 3.8m/s relative to the ship. the ship moves east with a speed of 12m/s relative to the water. what is the direction of motion of the person relative to the water?

The two components of the motion (3.8 m/s north and 12 m/s east) correspond to the two sides of a right triangle, where 3.8 is the length of the vertical side while 12 is the length of the horizontal side. Therefore, the angle which gives the direction of motion is given by

\theta = arctan (\frac{v_y}{v_x})

where vx is the horizontal velocity and vy is the vertical velocity. Substituting numbers into the equation, we find

\theta= arctan (\frac{3.8}{12})=arctan(0.317)=17.6^{\circ}

so, 17.6 degrees north of east.

The resultant motion is given by pithagoras, since the two components (north and east) are perpendicular to each other.
They are asking you about the direction so you have to use trigonometry, finding that the direction is Ф=arctan(3.8/12)=17.57° north of east.

<h3>What is an equation of motion?</h3>

Physicists use equations of motion to describe how a physical system behaves in terms of how its motion changes over time.

The behavior of a physical system is described by the equations of motion in more detail as a collection of mathematical functions expressed in terms of dynamic variables. These variables typically comprise time and spatial coordinates, but they could also have momentum components. The most flexible option is generalized coordinates, which can be any useful variable that is a component of the physical system. In classical mechanics, the functions are defined in a Euclidean space, while curved spaces are used in relativity instead. The equations are the answers to the differential equations describing the motion of the dynamics of the dynamics of a system are known. The amount of motion changes according to the strength of the force and does so in the direction of the force's applied straight line.

The mechanical enegia is the sum of the kinetic energy plus the potential energy
 Kinetic energy = (1/2) * m * v ^ 2
 Potential energy = m * g * h
 Mechanical energy = (1/2) * m * v ^ 2 + m * g * h
 What is the mechanical energy of the sled at the top? 
 Mechanical energy = (1/2) * m * v ^ 2 + m * g * h
 Mechanical energy = (1/2) * (50) * (0) ^ 2 + (50) * (9.8) * (7.5) = 3675
 Mechanical energy = 3675J
 What is the mechanical energy of the sled at the bottom? 
 By conservation of energy we have that the energy in point 1 is equal to the energy in point 2
 Mechanical energy = 3675J
 What is the speed of the sled at the bottom of the hill?
 Mechanical energy = 3675J = (1/2) * m * v ^ 2
 clearing up v we have
 (1/2) * (50) * v ^ 2 = 3675
 v ^ 2 = 3675 * (2) * (1/50)
 v = root (3675 * (2) * (1/50)) = 12.12 m / s
 answer
 3675J
 3675J
 12.12 m / s
