Document Summary

Physics 1501q - lecture 8 - relative motion and uniform circular motion 9/12/18. Key (in si units): t = time (s) x = distance (m) v = velocity (m/s) a = acceleration (m/ = change in g = gravity = 9. 81 m/ s2. Let"s say a person is on the ground observing a train pass by. Assuming east is positive, the velocity of the train with respect to the ground (v tg ) is 9 m/s. Another person is on the train, walking 2 m/s with respect to the train. We can determine that from the reference frame of the ground, the person on the train is moving at a velocity of 2 + 9 = 11 m/s. (source: http://demo. webassign. net/ebooks/cj6demo/pc/c03/read/main/c03x3_4. htm ) This equation can be generalized to the following form: v ab = v ac + v cb. The notation v ab means the velocity of a with respect to b.
