If I am to understand this question correctly this is what asks you:
If a person is riding a motorized tricycle how much work do they do?
You may ask yourself, why did I only use part of the question. Simple, the rest is not relevant to what is being asked. The weight, speed, and distance wont affect the person riding any <em><u>motorized vehicle</u></em> other than the time it takes to get from one place to another.
So to answer this question I would say:
Not much, all they really have to do is to steer and set the motorized tricycle to cruise control. Just like any rode certified vehicle.
If you have any questions about my answer please let me know and I will be happy to clarify any misunderstandings. Thanks and have a great day!
Answer:
11 m/s south
Explanation:
The velocity of the passenger relative to the river bank is equal to the velocity of the passenger relative to the ferry, plus the velocity of the ferry relative to the river, plus the velocity of the river relative to the river bank.
v_passenger,bank = v_passenger,ferry + v_ferry,river + v_river,bank
If we take north to be positive and south to be negative:
v = 1.0 m/s + (-10 m/s) + (-2 m/s)
v = -11 m/s
v = 11 m/s south
