exerts on the other):

Relative Velocity

Sometimes your velocity is known relative to a
reference frame that is moving relative to the
earth.
Example 1: a boat moving relative to water, which is
then moving relative to the ground.
Example 2: a plane moving relative to air, which is then
moving relative to the ground.

These velocities are related by vector addition:



vac  vab  v bc
» vac is the velocity of the object relative to
the ground
» vab is the velocity of the object relative to
a moving reference frame
» vbc is the velocity of the moving reference
frame relative to the ground
Relative Motion Example

You are in a plane traveling (relative to still air) at
200 mph at an angle of 30º east of north. There is
a wind blowing 50 mph due east (relative to the
ground). What is the velocity of the plane with
respect to the ground?

Relative Motion Example

You are in a plane traveling (relative to still air) at 200 mph
at an angle of 30º east of north. There is a wind blowing 50
mph due east (relative to the ground). What is the velocity of
the plane with respect to the ground?
 To find the velocity with respect to the ground we just need to add the
velocity of the plane with respect to the air to the velocity of the air
with respect to the ground:

Relative Motion Example

You are in a plane traveling (relative to still air) at 200 mph
at an angle of 30º east of north. There is a wind blowing 50
mph due east (relative to the ground). What is the velocity of
the plane with respect to the ground?
 Break the plane’s velocity (with respect to the air) into components.
 Add the respective components together to attain the x- and y-
components of the net velocity we are looking for!
x-direction:
vpgx = vpax + vagx
y-direction:
vpgy = vpay + vagy
vpgx = (200 mph)sin30º + (50 mph)
vpgy = (200 mph)cos30º + (0 mph)
vpgx = 150 mph
vpgy = 173 mph
