1 Section 7.2 Velocity In the previous chpter, we showed tht velocity is vector becuse it hd both mgnitude (speed) nd direction. In this section, we will demonstrte how two velocities cn be combined to determine their resultnt velocity. EXAMPLE 1 Representing velocity with digrms An irplne hs velocity of (reltive to the ir) when it encounters wind hving velocity of w! v! (reltive to the ground). Drw digrm showing the possible positions of the velocities nd nother digrm showing the resultnt velocity. Solution v w + v, the resultnt velocity w v w Position digrm Vector digrm The resultnt velocity of ny two velocities is their sum. In ll clcultions involving resultnt velocities, it is necessry to drw tringle showing the velocities so there is cler recognition of the resultnt nd its reltionship to the other two velocities. When the velocity of the irplne is mentioned, it is understood tht we re referring to its ir speed. When the velocity of the wind is mentioned, we re referring to its velocity reltive to fixed, the ground. The resultnt velocity of the irplne is the velocity of the irplne reltive to the ground nd is clled the ground velocity of the irplne. EXAMPLE 2 Selecting vector strtegy to determine ground velocity A plne is heding due north with n ir speed of 400 km>h when it is blown off course by wind of 100 km>h from the northest. Determine the resultnt ground velocity of the irplne. CHAPTER 7 365

2 Solution We strt by drwing position nd vector digrms where represents the velocity of the wind nd v! w! represents the velocity of the irplne in kilometres per hour. NW W SW N S NE E SE w, )w ) = 100 v, )v ) = 400 w, )w ) = 100 v + w, resultnt v, )v ) = 400 Position digrm Vector digrm Use the cosine lw to determine the mgnitude of the resultnt velocity. 0 v! 0 v! w! w! v! w! v! 00w! 0 cos u, u 45, 0 w! 0 100, 0 v! cos 45 0 v! w! V2 b 0 v! w! v! w! V To stte the required velocity, the direction of the resultnt vector is needed. Use the sine lw to clculte, the ngle between the velocity vector of the plne nd the resultnt vector. w, )w ) = 100 )v + w* = v, )v ) = 400 sin sin sin 45 sin Therefore, the resultnt velocity is pproximtely (or W77.9 N) km>h, N12.1 W VELOCITY

3 EXAMPLE 3 Using vectors to represent velocities A river is 2 km wide nd flows t 6 km>h. Ann is driving motorbot, which hs speed of 20 km>h in still wter nd she heds out from one bnk in direction perpendiculr to the current. A mrin lies directly cross the river from the strting on the opposite bnk.. How fr downstrem from the mrin will the current push the bot? b. How long will it tke for the bot to cross the river? c. If Ann decides tht she wnts to end up directly cross the river t the mrin, in wht direction should she hed? Wht is the resultnt velocity of the bot? Solution. As before, we construct vector nd position digrm, where w! nd v! represent the velocity of the river nd the bot, respectively, in kilometres per hour. upstrem 2 km upstrem 2 km strting w, )w* = 6 v, )v* = 20 mrin strting v, )v* = 20 v + w mrin w, )w* = 6 The distnce downstrem tht the bot lnds cn be clculted in vriety of wys, but the esiest wy is to redrw the velocity tringle from the vector digrm, keeping in mind tht the velocity tringle is similr to the distnce tringle. This is becuse the distnce trvelled is directly proportionl to the velocity. strting downstrem Position digrm v, )v* = 20 v + w mrin w, )w* = 6 downstrem Vector digrm strting 2 km x mrin d end 6 Using similr tringles,. 20 d, d The bot will touch the opposite bnk 0.6 km downstrem. b. To clculte the ctul distnce between the strting nd end s, the Pythgoren theorem is used for the distnce tringle, with x being the required distnce. Thus, x nd x 2.09, which mens tht the ctul distnce the bot trvelled ws pproximtely 2.09 km. To clculte the length of time it took to mke the trip, it is necessry to clculte the speed t which this distnce ws trvelled. Agin, using similr CHAPTER 7 367

4 v v + w w!! 20 0v w 0 tringles, Solving this proportion, 0 v! w! , so the ctul speed of the bot crossing the river ws bout 20.9 km>h. The ctul time tken to cross the river is t d h, or bout 6 min. v 20.9 Therefore, the bot lnded 0.6 km downstrem, nd it took pproximtely 6 min to mke the crossing. c. To determine the velocity with which she must trvel to rech the mrin, we will drw the relted vector digrm. We re given 0w! 0 6 nd 0v! To determine the direction in which the bot must trvel, let represent the ngle upstrem t which the bot heds out. sin 6 20 or sin b 17.5 To clculte the mgnitude of the resultnt velocity, use the Pythgoren theorem. 0 v! w! v! w! 2 0 where 0v! 0 20 nd 0w! 0 6 Thus, v! w! v! w! v! w! This implies tht if Ann wnts to trvel directly cross the river, she will hve to trvel upstrem 17.5 with speed of pproximtely km>h. The nose of the bot will be heded upstrem t 17.5, but the bot will ctully be moving directly cross the river t wter speed of km>h. IN SUMMARY Key Ide Problems involving velocities cn be solved using strtegies involving vectors. Need to Know The velocity of n object is stted reltive to frme of reference. The frme of reference used influences the stted velocity of the object. Air speed/wter speed is the speed of plne/bot reltive to person on bord. Ground speed is the speed of plne or bot reltive to person on the ground nd includes the effect of wind or current.!!! The resultnt velocity v r v1 v VELOCITY
