2-D Relative Velocity

2-D Relative Velocity

By Harish Appana Satya on March 17, 2013

An object can appear to have different velocities depending on the velocity of an observer. In this problem set, 2-D 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

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.

Weight in an Elevator

Weight in an Elevator

By Harish Appana Satya on July 18, 2012

How does a reading on a scale change when on a moving elevator? Scenarios with an elevator moving at different velocities and acceleration will be considered. The concepts learned will then be used to analyze data from a real-life experiment.
