Chapter 3: Q.18CQ (page 120)

A basketball player dribbling down the court usually keeps his eyes fixed on the players around him. He is moving fast. Why doesn鈥檛 he need to keep his eyes on the ball?

Short Answer

Expert verified

A basketball player always keeps his eyes on the other players around him instead of looking at the ball while dribbling down the court.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1: Defining frame of reference

A frame of reference is a collection of coordinates used to indicate the relationship between a moving observer and an event. The frame of reference is further classified into the inertial and the non-inertial frames of reference.

02

Determining relative speed of ball

When the basketball player gets the ball and dribbles down the court, the relative speed of the ball and the player is equal.

The frame of reference is also the same, while the player fixed his eyes on the players around him as the players around him keep their eyes on the ball, and this helps him to move fast.

If proper practice is done, it is not necessary for a good player to look at the ball while moving fast.

A farmer wants to fence off his four-sided plot of flat land. He measures the first three sides, shown asA,B, andCin Figure 3.62, and then correctly calculates the length and orientation of the fourth side D. What is his result?

The cannon on a battleship can fire a shell a maximum distance of\(32.0{\rm{ km}}\).

(a) Calculate the initial velocity of the shell.

(b) What maximum height does it reach? (At its highest, the shell is above\(60\% \)of the atmosphere鈥攂ut air resistance is not really negligible as assumed to make this problem easier.)

(c) The ocean is not flat, because the Earth is curved. Assume that the radius of the Earth is \(6.37 \times {10^3}{\rm{ km}}\). How many meters lower will its surface be \(32.0{\rm{ km}}\) from the ship along a horizontal line parallel to the surface at the ship? Does your answer imply that error introduced by the assumption of a flat Earth in projectile motion is significant here?

Find the following for path D in Figure

(a) the total distance traveled and

(b) the magnitude and direction of the displacement from start to finish.

In this part of the problem, explicitly show how you follow the steps of the analytical method of vector addition.

The various lines represent paths taken by different people walking in a city. All blocks are \(120{\rm{ m}}\) on a side.

The velocity of the wind relative to the water is crucial to sailboats. Suppose a sailboat is in an ocean current that has a velocity of m/s in a direction east of north relative to the Earth. It encounters a wind that has a velocity of m/s in a direction of south of west relative to the Earth. What is the velocity of the wind relative to the water?

A ship sets sail from Rotterdam, The Netherlands, heading due north at m/s relative to the water. The local ocean current is 1.50m/s in a direction40onorth of east. What is the velocity of the ship relative to the Earth?
