Answer #1

velocity of person with respect to ship = VPS = 3.7 m/sec

velocity of ship with respect to water = VSW = 9.6 m/sec

velocity of person with respect water = VPW = VPS + VSW

                                                                               = 3.7 + 9.6 = 13.3 m/sec

A person going for a morning jog on the deck of a cruise ship is running toward the bow (front) of the ship at 2.0 m s while the ship is moving ahead at 8.5 m s. What is the velocity of the jogger relative to the water? Later, the jogger is moving toward the stern (rear) of the ship. What is the jogger’s velocity relative to the water now?

Uther Undlethwaite, the unremarkable pirate, paced the deck of his pirate ship. The ship was sailing 0.62 radians North of East at a speed of 13 m/s with respect to the water. The water water was moving at a speed of 2 m/s (relative to the sea floor) directly North. Uther walked 1.26 radians South of West at a speed of 1 m/s. What was Uther's speed relative to the sea floor?

a) A cruise ship with a mass of 1.00×107 kg strikes a pier at a speed of 0.750 m/s. It comes to rest 6.00 m later, damaging the ship, the pier, and the tugboat captain’s finances. Calculate the average force exerted on the pier using the concept of impulse. (Hint: First calculate the time it took to bring the ship to rest.) b) The force of the water sloshing near the pier is enough to push the ship back. After...

A Coast Guard ship is travelling at a constant velocity of 4.20 m/s [E], relative to the water. On his radar screen the navigator detects an object that is moving at a constant velocity. The object is located at a distance of 2310 m with respect to the ship, in a direction [E 32.0° S]. Six minutes Later, he notes that the objects position relative to the ship has changed to 1120 m [W 57.0° S]. What is the velocity...

A practical problem! Your friend shipped out on a cruise aboard the Coral Sea and forgot their Gameboy (that they need to test dolphin cognition). You and your drone pilot friend quickly devise a plan to airdrop the vital instrument package before the ship gets too far offshore. With good fortune deploy your plan on a windless day. You devise a spherical delivery package of closed cell foam to protect the instrument from impact, and float (you hope) if it...

In order to get going fast, eagles will use a technique called stooping, in which they dive nearly straight down and tuck in their wings to reduce their surface area. While stooping, a 6-kg golden eagle can reach speeds of up to 53 m/s. While golden eagles are not very vocal, they sometimes make a weak, high-pitched sound. Suppose that while traveling at maximum speed, a golden eagle heads directly towards a pigeon while emitting a sound at 1.1 kHz....
