Relative Velocities

By Harish Appana Satya on July 25, 2012

An object can appear to have different velocities depending on the velocity of an observer. In this problem set, scenarios will be analyzed from different frames of reference in order to determine the velocity of one object relative to another.

Ball on a Moving Cart

By Harish Appana Satya on July 25, 2012

The trajectory of a ball dropped from a person on a moving cart will be modelled using both x-position vs. time graphs and y-position vs. time graphs. The scenario will be analyzed from the point of view of an observer on the cart and on the ground.

Cannon on a Moving Cart

By Harish Appana Satya on July 18, 2012

What do the velocity-time and acceleration-time graphs look like for a cannon ball launched from a moving cart? This scenario will be analyzed by breaking down both velocity and acceleration into vertical and horizontal components.
