Chapter 9 Problem 23P

Question

Suppose the bee in Active Example 9–2 has a mass of 0.175 g. If the bee walks with a speed of 1.41 cm/s relative to the still water, what is the speed of the 4.75-g stick relative to the water?

Solution

Step 1 of 2

A bee walks on a floating stick which is initially at rest. The stick moves in the opposite direction relative to the water. We are going to find the speed of the stick relative to the water.

The mass of the bee m1 = 0.175 g

The speed of the bee relative to the water v1 = 1.41 cm/s

The mass of the stick m2 = 4.75 g
