Two friends, Barbara and Neil, are out rollerblading. With respect to the ground, Barbara is skating due south at a speed of 3.5 m/s. Neil is in front of her. With respect to the ground, Neil is skating due west at a speed of 3.0 m/s. Find Neil's velocity ((a) magnitude and (b) direction relative to due west, as seen by Barbara.

Expert Solution

Hi,

Hope you are doing well.

PART (a):

Please refer the figure below to understand the concept easier:

From figure,

is Velocity of Neil with respect to ground (m/s).

is Velocity of Barbara with respect to ground (m/s).

We know that, Velocity of Neil with respect to Barbera is given by,

Magnitude of Velocity of Neil with respect to Barbera is given by,

Direction relative to due west is given by,

Where, is the angle between and

due west.

Hope this helped for your studies. Keep learning. Have a good day.

Feel free to clear any doubts at the comment section.

Please don't forget to give a thumbs up.

Thank you. :)

Two friends, Al and Jo, have a combined mass of 166 kg. At the ice skating rink, they stand close together on skates, at rest and facing each other. Using their arms, they push on each other for 1 second and move off in opposite directions. Al moves off with a speed of 5.9 m/sec in one direction and Jo moves off with a speed of 9.7 m/sec in the other. You can assume friction is negligible. 1)What is Al's...

An M-16 is fired from level ground at an upwards angle of 10 degrees with respect to the horizontal. The initial velocity of the bullet is 948 m/s, but because it is fired at a 10 degree angle, the vertical component of the initial velocity is 165 m/s and the horizontal component is 934 m/s. Ignore air resistance and the curvature of the earth in this problem. (Hint: See the videos Projectile Motion Parts 9-13. For questions 9-14 and 17,...
