Chapter 3: Problem 67

A car is driving directly north on the freeway at a speed of $110 \mathrm{km} / \mathrm{h}$ and a truck is leaving the freeway driving \(85 \mathrm{km} / \mathrm{h}\) in a direction that is \(35^{\circ}\) west of north. What is the velocity of the truck relative to the car?

Short Answer

Expert verified
Answer: The relative velocity of the truck with respect to the car is 63.31 km/h, 39.9掳 east of south.

Step by step solution

01

Find the x and y components of each velocity vector

We will begin by finding the x and y components of the velocities of the car and truck. For the car, the velocity vector is directly north, so we only have a y-component, which is \(110 \mathrm{km/h}\). The truck's velocity has both x and y components since it is traveling \(35^\circ\) west of north. Truck's x-component of velocity: \(-v_t\sin(35^\circ)\) Truck's y-component of velocity: \(v_t\cos(35^\circ)\) Where \(v_t = 85 \mathrm{km/h}\). Now, we will calculate the values of these components.
02

Calculate the x and y components

Using the given truck speed and direction, we can find the components of its velocity. x-component: \((-85 \sin(35^\circ)) \mathrm{km/h} = -48.65 \mathrm{km/h}\) y-component: \((85 \cos(35^\circ)) \mathrm{km/h} = 69.71 \mathrm{km/h}\) Now we have: Car velocity = \((0, 110) \mathrm{km/h}\) Truck velocity = \((-48.65, 69.71) \mathrm{km/h}\)
03

Calculate the relative velocity components

Now, to find the relative velocity of the truck with respect to the car, we will subtract the car's velocity components from the truck's velocity components. Relative x-component: \((-48.65 - 0) \mathrm{km/h} = -48.65 \mathrm{km/h}\) Relative y-component: \((69.71 - 110) \mathrm{km/h} = -40.29 \mathrm{km/h}\) So the relative velocity components are \((-48.65, -40.29) \mathrm{km/h}\).
04

Calculate the magnitude and direction of the relative velocity

Now, we will find the magnitude and direction of the relative velocity. Magnitude: \(\sqrt{(-48.65)^2 + (-40.29)^2} \mathrm{km/h} = 63.31 \mathrm{km/h}\) Direction: \(\tan^{-1}(\frac{-40.29}{-48.65}) = 39.9^\circ\) east of south Finally, we have the relative velocity of the truck with respect to the car is \(63.31 \mathrm{km/h}\), \(39.9^\circ\) east of south.

A helicopter is flying horizontally at \(8.0 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}\) and an altitude of \(18 \mathrm{m}\) when a package of emergency medical supplies is ejected horizontally backward with a speed of \(12 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}\) relative to the helicopter. Ignoring air resistance, what is the horizontal distance between the package and the helicopter when the package hits the ground?
Geoffrey drives from his home town due east at \(90.0 \mathrm{km} / \mathrm{h}\) for 80.0 min. After visiting a friend for 15.0 min, he drives in a direction \(30.0^{\circ}\) south of west at \(76.0 \mathrm{km} / \mathrm{h}\) for 45.0 min to visit another friend. (a) How far is it to his home from the second town? (b) If it takes him 45.0 min to drive directly home, what is his average velocity on the third leg of the trip? (c) What is his average velocity during the first two legs of his trip? (d) What is his average velocity over the entire trip? (e) What is his average speed during the entire trip if he spent 55.0 min visiting the second friend?
John drives \(16 \mathrm{km}\) directly west from Orion to Chester at a speed of \(90 \mathrm{km} / \mathrm{h},\) then directly south for \(8.0 \mathrm{km}\) to Seiling at a speed of \(80 \mathrm{km} / \mathrm{h}\), then finally $34 \mathrm{km}\( southeast to Oakwood at a speed of \)100 \mathrm{km} / \mathrm{h}$. Assume he travels at constant velocity during each of the three segments. (a) What was the change in velocity during this trip? [Hint: Do not assume he starts from rest and stops at the end.] (b) What was the average acceleration during this trip?
A sailboat sails from Marblehead Harbor directly east for 45 nautical miles, then \(60^{\circ}\) south of east for 20.0 nautical miles, returns to an easterly heading for 30.0 nautical miles, and sails \(30^{\circ}\) east of north for 10.0 nautical miles, then west for 62 nautical miles. At that time the boat becomes becalmed and the auxiliary engine fails to start. The crew decides to notify the Coast Guard of their position. Using graph paper, ruler, and protractor, sketch a graphical addition of the displacement vectors and estimate their position.
You will be hiking to a lake with some of your friends by following the trails indicated on a map at the trailhead. The map says that you will travel 1.6 mi directly north, then \(2.2 \mathrm{mi}\) in a direction \(35^{\circ}\) east of north, then finally \(1.1 \mathrm{mi}\) in a direction \(15^{\circ}\) north of east. At the end of this hike, how far will you be from where you started, and what direction will you be from your starting point?
