Sandal's Velocity Relative to Ship and Shore Observer
Chapter 3, Problem 61(choose chapter or problem)
A sandal is dropped from the top of a 15.0-m-high mast on a ship moving at 1.75 m/s due south. Calculate the velocity of the sandal when it hits the deck of the ship: (a) relative to the ship and (b) relative to a stationary observer on shore. (c) Discuss how the answers give a consistent result for the position at which the sandal hits the deck.

QUESTION:
A sandal is dropped from the top of a 15.0-m-high mast on a ship moving at 1.75 m/s due south. Calculate the velocity of the sandal when it hits the deck of the ship: (a) relative to the ship and (b) relative to a stationary observer on shore. (c) Discuss how the answers give a consistent result for the position at which the sandal hits the deck.
ANSWER:Step 1 of 4:
In this question, we need to:
-
calculate the velocity of the sandal when it hits the deck of ship
-
calculate the velocity of the sandal with respect to ship
-
calculate the velocity of the sandal with respect to stationary observer on shore
In the next part , we need to discuss the result obtained talks about the position at which sandal hits the deck
Data given:
Distance be dropped from \(x=15.0 m\)
Velocity of ship due to south \(v_{s}=1.75 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\)
