Relative Motion


A boat has a constant speed, its speed relative to the water has a magnitude equal to 5 m/s. The river current has a constant speed relative to the bank equal to 3 m/s. Determine the magnitude of the velocity of the boat relative to the river banks in the following situations:
a) The boat navigates in the direction of the current (downstream);
b) The boat navigates in the opposite direction to the current (upstream);
c) The boat navigates in the direction perpendicular to the current.

A boat moving at a constant speed of 10.8 km/h wants to cross a river perpendicularly, whose waters have a constant speed of 1.5 m/s.
a) In what direction should the pilot keep the longitudinal axis of the boat relative to normal to the current?
b) What is the speed of the boat relative to the river bank?

On a windless rainy day, the rain falls vertically to the ground at a speed of 10 m/s. A car moves horizontally with a constant speed of 72 km/h relative to the ground.
a) What is the direction of the rain relative to the car?

The wheel of radius R = 15 cm in the figure rolls, without slipping, parallel to a vertical plane. The center C of the wheel has speed v = 5 m/s. What is the magnitude of the velocity at point B in the following cases:

b) Diameter AB is parallel to the rolling plane.

A worker holds one end of a straight board of length a, while the other end rests on a cylindrical drum so that the board is in a horizontal position. When moving the board forward, the worker makes the drum roll without slipping along the horizontal plane, and during the movement, the board remains horizontal. Determine the distance d that the worker will travel until the end he is holding touches the drum.
