A spy runs from the front to the back of an aircraft carrier at a velocity of 3.7 m/s. The aircraft carrier?
apparent velocity = 14.0 - 3.7 = 10.3 m/s.
if calculation of relative velocity confuses imagine problem this.
let ship move second spy near front standing. spy has moved in forward direction distance of 14.0
in next second, let ship stand still , spy run towards rear. in 1 second cover 3.7 m.
spy has new position of 14 - 3.7 = 10.3 m , taking place in 1 second (if both move simultaneously), hence apparent velocity of spy.
a spy runs front of
aircraft carrier @ velocity of 3.7 m/s.
aircraft carrier moving forward @ 14.0 m/s.
how fast spy appear run-
ning when viewed observer on nearby
stationary submarine (forward positive)?
answer in units of m/s.
