Answer:

v_{bR} = 25 km/h towards west

Explanation:

As we know that the speed of the blue car as appear to the bicycle rider is given as

v_{bc} = 50 km/h towards west

also it is given that bicycle is moving at speed of 10 km/h towards East

so here we have

v_{bc} = v_b - v_c

so we have

v_b = v_{bc} + v_c

v_b = -50 + 10 = 40 km/h towards west

now speed of the red car is given as 15 km/h towards west

so here the relative speed of blue car with respect to red car is given as

v_{bR} = v_b - v_R

v_{bR} = 40 - 15 = 25 km/h towards west

Dave rows a boat across a river at 4.0 m/s. the river flows at 6.0 m/s and is 360 m across.
Ad libitum [116K]

a) Let's call x the direction parallel to the river and y the direction perpendicular to the river.

Dave's velocity of 4.0 m/s corresponds to the velocity along y (across the river), while 6.0 m/s corresponds to the velocity of the boat along x. Therefore, the drection of Dave's boat is given by:

\theta= arctan(\frac{v_y}{v_x})=arctan(\frac{4.0 m/s}{6.0 m/s})=arctan(0.67)=33.7^{\circ}

relative to the direction of the river.


b) The distance Dave has to travel it S=360 m, along the y direction. Since the velocity along y is constant (4.0 m/s), this is a uniform motion, so the time taken to cross the river is given by

t=\frac{S_y}{v_y}=\frac{360 m}{4.0 m/s}=90 s


c) The boat takes 90 s in total to cross the river. The displacement along the y-direction, during this time, is 360 m. The displacement along the x-direction is

S_x = v_x t =(6.0 m/s)(90 s)=540 m

so, Dave's landing point is 540 m downstream.


d) If there were no current, Dave would still take 90 seconds to cross the river, because its velocity on the y-axis (4.0 m/s) does not change, so the problem would be solved exactly as done at point b).
