Reference frame of boat B:
Complete the upper diagram at right by drawing and labeling boats A, B, and the kayak at their positions at time
In the space at lower right, draw and label vectors for the initial position, the final position, and the displacement of the kayak in the frame of boat B.
In the frame of boat B, is the speed of the kayak greater than, less than, or equal to the speed of boat A? Explain.
The position of boat A, B and kayak at time
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
A frame of reference is a combination of coordinate
In frame of boat B, the speed of boat B is zero. Boat A and kayak will move in the left direction in frame of boat B.
The final position of boat A, boat B and in frame of boat B is shown in figure 1.
Figure 1
The initial position, final position and displacement of kayak are shown in figure 2.
Figure 2
The displacement of kayak is more than the displacement of boat A for same interval of time. So, the speed of kayak is greater than the speed of boat A in frame of boat B.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the position of boat A, B and kayak at time

- I need help with part c, can you write out the sentence with the answer please, thank you.arrow_forwardHello, based on the table can you please help me do a, b and c?arrow_forwardA ball of mass m moving with velocity v⃗ i strikes a vertical wall as shown in (Figure 1). The angle between the ball's initial velocity vector and the wall is θi as shown on the diagram, which depicts the situation as seen from above. The duration of the collision between the ball and the wall is Δt , and this collision is completely elastic. Friction is negligible, so the ball does not start spinning. In this idealized collision, the force exerted on the ball by the wall is parallel to the x axis.What is the magnitude F of the average force exerted on the ball by the wall?arrow_forward
- I did a and b. So can you help me do and explain part c and d ?arrow_forwardAnswer Part B.Vectors x and y are moving with uniform velocities. If the image below is t = 0, how long will it take (in seconds) for vector x to be in the same position with vector y? How far should vector x have traveled (in meters) by the time it has overtaken the position of vector y? Show proper solution.arrow_forwardplease help: A rectangular painting is 112 cm wide and 77.4 cm high, as indicated below At what speed, v, must the painting move parallel to its width if it is to appear to be square? Express your answer to three significant figures.arrow_forward
- Derive a formula for the centroid of section U in the figure below, in terms of r and h and in relation to the x and y axesarrow_forwardCan you please show full derivation for Part B?arrow_forwardA jetliner has an air speed of 500 mph. A 200-mph wind is blowing fromwest to east.(a) The pilot heads due north. In what direction does the plane fly, and whatis its ground speed? (Hint: Define a frame of reference 5' that moves with the wind. In Sf there is no wind; hence the plane always moves in the direction it isheaded, at 500 mph. Use the velocity transformation to find the components ofthe plane's velocity in the ground frame.)(b) In what direction should the pilot head in order to fly due north? What isthe plane's ground speed in this case?arrow_forward
