    Phys101 Lecture 4 Relative Motion: Reference: 3-9

    Uploaded by

    jirong
    The document discusses relative motion and describes the vector relationship between absolute velocity, relative velocity, and the velocity of a moving reference frame. It provides examples of how to calculate the velocity of an object moving in a system with both translational and rotational motion, such as a person walking on a boat moving across a river. Formulas are given showing that absolute velocity equals relative velocity plus the velocity of the moving reference frame.

    Relative Motion

    Key point:
    Vector relationship among the absolute velocity,
    relative velocity and the velocity of the moving
    reference frame.

    vMG  vMT  vTG
    i.e.,
    absolute velocity  relative velocity  velocity of moving reference

    Vector sum!

    Similarly, for accelerati on,

    A Boat in a River

    If a man is walking on the boat,


      
    vMS  vMB  vBS
       
    vMS  vMB  vBW  vWS


    vBW is the velocity of the boat relative to water,

    vBS is the velocity of the boat relative to the shore,

    vWS is the velocity of water relative to the shore,

    vMB is the velocity of the man relative to the boat,

    vMS is the velocity of the man relative to the shore. Page 5
    Example 3-14: Heading upstream. y
    A boat’s speed in still water is
    vBW = 1.85 m/s. If the boat is to
    travel directly across a river
    whose current has speed vWS
    = 1.20 m/s, at what upstream
    angle must the boat head?

    Example 3-15: Heading across the river.

    The same boat (vBW = 1.85
    m/s) now heads directly
    across the river whose
    current is still 1.20 m/s.
    What is the velocity
    (magnitude and direction) of
    the boat relative to the
    shore?
