5. A boat is traveling north. The people on the boat measure the water to be moving past the boat at a velocity of 5 m/s in the opposite direction to the south. A stationary viewer on the shore measures the velocity of the boat to be moving 2 m/s north. What is the actual velocity of the water as seen from the shore in meters per second?

6. The takeoff speed of a military aircraft from an aircraft carrier is approximately 170 mi/hr relative to the air. They acquire this speed through a combination of a catapult system present on the aircraft carrier and the aircraft’s jet propulsion system. A common strategy is to point the carrier and the plane into the wind. If a plane is taking off from an aircraft carrier that is moving at 40 mph into a 20 mph headwind, then what speed relative to the deck of the aircraft carrier must it obtain to takeoff?

1.3 Velocity, Distance, and DisplacementThe total distance is the sum of all the distances traveled. The total distance is not a vector so direction in not important, use the absolute value only. Change in distance (displacement) is a vector quantity. The change in distance (displacement) is the difference from where you start to where you end up, direction is important.

€

Δd = d f − do

€

dTotal = d1 + d2 + ...

The average velocity is equal to the change in distance divided by the change in time. Velocity is a vector quantity and has magnitude with direction.
