Observation #2
Place your mouse arrow on the river and click your right mouse button. Determine the relative speed of the ground,…
Analysis:
How much velocity change (DV) occurred to the ground, man, river and boat when the frame of reference was switched…
The speed of the boat is not the same from each frame of reference. True or False?
From what frame(s) of reference is the boat stationary?… From what frame of reference(s) is the boat moving with negative velocity?…
