A passenger on a boat moving at 1.90 m/s on a still lake walks up a flight of stairs at a speed of 0.60 m/s (Figure 1). The stairs are angled at 45∘ pointing in the direction of motion as shown. What is the magnitude of the velocity of the passenger relative to the water? What is the direction of the velocity of the passenger relative to the water (counterclockwise from the positive x axis)?

You have a small boat which travels through water at a speed of 6.0 m/s. You take it out on a section of a local river where the water flows from north to south at a speed of 4.0 m/s. (a) First, you head south (i.e. downstream) in your boat. Draw a vector which represents the velocity of the boat relative to the water, and a vector that represents the velocity of the water relative to the shore. Then add...

A passenger rushing to catch a plane at the airport walks on a moving sidewalk at a speed of 3.5 km/h relative to the sidewalk in the direction that the sidewalk is moving. The sidewalk is 105 m long and moves with a steady velocity of 1.9 km/h. How much time does the passenger save by taking the moving sidewalk instead of just walking beside it? Through what distance does the passenger walk relative to the moving sidewalk? If the...

A ferryboat, whose speed in still water is 4.00 m/s, must cross a river whose current is 3.00 m/s. The river runs from West to East and the boat is pointed North. a) If the boat does not compensate for the flow of the river water, and allows itself to be pushed off course, what would be the new velocity of the boat? In answering this question, draw a vector diagram with the appropriate labels for the vectors, and state...

You ride in a boat on a river flowing at 1.8 m/sm/s (in the negative y direction). Suppose you would like the boat to move directly across the river (in the positive x direction) with a speed of 5.3 m/sm/s. Express your answer to two significant figures and include appropriate units. A.) What is the corresponding speed of the boat's velocity relative to the water? B.) What is the corresponding direction of the boat's velocity relative to the water (i.e....
