Setup Demo A, B, and C start out together (same x) Relative to Earth A goes 3 units each 10s B goes 1 units each 10s C stays at rest Record the relative positions in the table below. Include signs!
2
Position DATA Where is each person relative to you? Position of APosition of BPosition of C Relative to B Relative to C t=0 t=10s t=20s t=30s
3
Relative Velocity Velocity of AVelocity of BVelocity of C Relative to B Relative to C v AC =v BC = v AB =v BB =v CB = From the measured relative position as a function of time, find the relative velocities in the table below:
4
Patterns Check your relative velocity answers to see if they fit the expected patterns: a) v BB =0 No one moves relative to themselves Does this match your answers? b) v CB = -v BC If you move East relative to the cows, the cows move West relative to you Does this match your answers ? c) v AC = v AB + v BC Vector addition of velocities Does this match your answers?
