If a person standson the escalator, it takes 49.8 s to ride fromthe bottom to the top.If a person walks up the moving escalatorwith a speed of 0. 598 m/s relative to theescalator, how long does it take the person toget to t he top?Correct answer: 19.9479 s.Explanation:Basic Concepts:~vpg= ~vpe+ ~vegveg=∆x∆tGiven:Let up be positive.∆x = 19.9 m∆t = 49.8 svpe= ±0.598 m/sSolution:Going up:vpg= vpe+ veg= vpe+∆x∆t∆tup=∆xvpg=∆xvpe+∆x∆t·∆t∆t=∆x∆tvpe∆t + ∆x=(19.9 m)(49. 8 s)(0.598 m/s)(49.8 s) + 19.9 m= 19.9479 s008 10.0 pointsA boat crosses a river of width 254 m in whi chthe current has a uniform speed of 2 .36 m/s.The pilot maintains a bearing (i. e. , the direc-tion in which the boat points) perpendicularto the river and a throttle setting to gi ve aconstant speed of 3.1 6 m/s relative to the wa-ter.What is the magnitude of the speed of theboat relative to a statio nary shore observer?Correct answer: 3 .94401 m/s.Explanation:The key to solving probl ems of this type isto first identify the observers (and frames), Sand S′. In this case, it is convenient to takethe shore observer to be S and to considera hypothetical observer S′drifting with theriver. Let the x axes of S and S′are along thestream, and the y axes be perpendicular to it(draw a picture). We will use capital lettersto denote the components of the vectors in S′.The “particle” being observed is the boat. Weare given that the river’s velocity componentsin S areux= 2.36 m/s , uy= 0 ,and the components of the speed of the boatin S′areVx= 0 , Vy= 3.16 m/s .Therefore, taking components of the equation~V =~v −~u ,we havevx= ux+ Vx= 2.36 m/svy= uy+ Vy= 3.94401 m/s ,which give the velocity components a s seen bythe shore observer (S). Then the magnitudeof the vector~v = (vx, vy) isv =qv2x+ v2y=q2.36 m/s2+ 3.16 m/ s2= 3.94401 m/s .009 (part 1 of 2) 10.0 pointsA river flows at a speed vr= 5.89 km/hr withkean (msk955) – Homework 02 – yao – (56725) 4respect to the shoreline. A boat needs to goperpendicular to the shoreline to reach a pieron the river’s other side. To do so, the boatheads upstream at an angle θ = 30◦from thedirection to the boat’s pier.Find the ratio of vbto vr, where vris definedabove and vbis the boat ’s speed wit h respectto the wa ter.1.vbvr= sin2θ2.vbvr=1tan θ3.vbvr= tan θ4.vbvr=1cos2θ5.vbvr=1sin θcorrect6.vbvr=1cos θ7.vbvr=1sin2θ8.vbvr= sin θ9.vbvr= cos2θ10.vbvr= cos θExplanation:Let : vbs=? , boat relat ive to shorevws= vr, water relative to shorevbs= vb, boat r el ative to water .This is a problem about relative velocity.See the figure below.LvbsvbwvwsθThe velocity of the boa t relative to theshore is given by−→vbs=−→vbw+−→vws.It is easy to see from t he figure above thatvws, vbwand vbsform a right triangle if theboat moves northward relative to the earth.Therefore,vws= vbwsin θ=⇒vbwvws=1sin θ.010 (part 2 of 2) 10.0 pointsIf the time taken for the boat to cross the riveris 19 .1 min, determine the width of the river.Correct answer: 3 .24757 k m.Explanation:By similar reasoning, we know relative tothe shore, the velocity of the boat isvbs=vwstan θ= 10.2018 km/hr .Therefore the time taken for the boat to crossthe river is given byt =Lvbs=Lvwstan θ=L tan θvws.=⇒ L =vwsttan θ=(5.89 km/hr) (19. 1 min) (1 hr/60 min)tan 30◦=(5.89 km/hr) (0.3 18334 hr)tan 30◦= 3.24757 km .011 10.0 pointsVertically falling rain makes slanted streakson the side windows of a moving automobile.If the streaks make an angle of 45◦, whatdoes thi s tell you about the r el ative speed ofthe car and the falling rain?kean (msk955) – Homework 02 – yao – (56725) 51.
