Question

You are on a cruise ship traveling north at a speed of 9 m/s with respect to land.

1)If you walk north toward the front of the ship, with a speed of 2.9 with respect to the ship, what is your velocity with respect to the land?

2)If you walk south toward the back of the ship, with a speed of 1.2 with respect to the ship, what is your velocity with respect to the land?

3)Your friend is sitting on another cruise ship traveling south at 12 m/s. As you walk toward the back of your ship at 1.2 m/s, what is your velocity with respect to your friend?

4)Below is some space to write notes on this problem?

Explanation / Answer

a) v = 9+ 2.9

= 11.9 m/s

b) v = 9 - 1.2

= 7.8m/s

c) v = 12 - (1.2 - 9)

= 19.8m/s
