18. Two spaceships are traveling in the same direction. With respect to an inertial frame of reference, spaceship A has a speed

of 0.900c. With respect to the same inertial frame, spaceship B has a speed of 0.500c. Find the speed vAB of spaceship A relative to spaceship B.

Answer:

v_{A} -v_{B}=v_{AB}\\v_{AB} =0.9c-0.5c\\v_{AB}=0.4c

Explanation:

Because the spaceships are traveling in the same direction, you should subtract the speed of spaceship A from the speed of spaceship B in order to calculate v_{AB}.

A kayakeris paddling 2.50 m/s at an angle of 45° (northeast) and the current is moving 1.25 m/s at an angle of 315° (southeast).
PIT_PIT [208]

The kayaker has velocity vector

<em>v</em> = (2.50 m/s) (cos(45º) <em>i</em> + sin(45º) <em>j</em> )

<em>v</em> ≈ (1.77 m/s) (<em>i</em> + <em>j</em> )

and the current has velocity vector

<em>w</em> = (1.25 m/s) (cos(315º) <em>i</em> + sin(315º) <em>j</em> )

<em>w</em> ≈ (0.884 m/s) (<em>i</em> - <em>j</em> )

The kayaker's total velocity is the sum of these:

<em>v</em> + <em>w</em> ≈ (2.65 m/s) <em>i</em> + (0.884 m/s) <em>j</em>

That is, the kayaker has a velocity of about ||<em>v</em> + <em>w</em>|| ≈ 2.80 m/s in a direction <em>θ</em> such that

tan(<em>θ</em>) = (0.884 m/s) / (2.65 m/s)   →   <em>θ</em> ≈ 18.4º

or about 18.4º north of east.

What are momentum and impulse?
dybincka [34]

Momentum definition: the quantity of motion of a moving body, measured as a product of its mass and velocity.

Impulse definition: change of momentum of an object when the object is acted upon by a force for an interval of time

These are the definitions.

Hope this helps!
