ground. The airplane pilot measures the velocity of the plane with respect to the air as 129 km/h south.
What is the velocity of the wind that affects the plane?
ANS:
23 km/h north
Given
vpg velocity of plane to ground 106 km/h south
vpa velocity of plane to air 129 km/h south
Solution

27. A boat moves at 12.00 m/s relative to the water. If the boat is in a river where the current is 9.00 m/s,
how long does it take the boat to make a complete round trip of 1400.0 m upstream followed by
1400.0 m downstream?
ANS:
Given
vrg velocity of river to ground 9.00 m/s downstream
vbr velocity of boat to river 12.00 m/s
x 1400.0 m downstream
x 1400.0 m downstream
Solution
downstream
upstream

28. A juggler is strolling along a moving walkway while tossing a ball vertically upward to a height of
3.60 m. The juggler strolls at a constant velocity of +1.20 m/s with respect to the walkway, which
moves at a constant velocity of +0.50 m/s with respect to the ground. An observer on the ground
passes the juggler and notices that the path of the ball is a parabola with a maximum width of +1.80 m.
What is the velocity of the observer with respect to the ground? (Assume no air resistance and that a
= g = 9.81 m/s .
ANS:
0.649 m/s opposite the direction of the moving sidewalk
Given
v horizontal velocity of ball relative to the juggler’s hand 0.0 m/s
v velocity of juggler’s hand relative to the walkway +1.20 m/s
v velocity of walkway relative to the ground +0.50 m/s
y distance that ball falls from top of path –3.60 m
x width of parabola noticed by observer +1.80 m
Solution
v v +v +v
0.649 m/s opposite the direction of the moving sidewalk
