Two boats are heading away from shore. Boat 1 heads due north at a speed of 2.98 m/s relative to the shore. Relative to Boat 1, Boat 2 is moving 29.0° north of east at a speed of 1.51 m/s. A passenger on Boat 2 walks due east across the deck at a speed of 1.17 m/s relative to Boat 2. What is the speed of the passenger relative to the shore?

Spaceships X and Y are launched simultaneously with a speed of 0.8c, with X moving along the +x axis and Y moving along the +y axis. Consider the motion of Y as seen by someone on X. (a) What is the total velocity of Y measured by the observer on X? (b) What angle (in degrees) does Y’s motion make with respect to the x-axis as measured by the observer on X?

A mass M slides downward along a rough plane surface inclined at angle \Theta\: Θ = 25.94 in degrees relative to the horizontal. Initially the mass has a speed V_0\: V 0 = 7.51 m/s, before it slides a distance L = 1.0 m down the incline. During this sliding, the magnitude of the power associated with the work done by friction is equal to the magnitude of the power associated with the work done by the gravitational force. What...

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?

In a pool game, the cue ball, which has an initial speed of 2.5 m/s, makes an elastic collision with the 8-ball, which is initially at rest. After the collision, the 8-ball moves at an angle theta = 14.3 degrees with respect to the original direction of the cue ball. Assume the pool table is frictionless and the masses of the cue ball and the 8-ball are equal. The cue ball travels at an angle of 90 degrees after the...
