Relative Velocity in Two Dimensions

Представьте себе женщину, наблюдающую за взлетающим самолетом. По мере удаления плоскости относительное движение в системе отсчета женщины может быть определено с помощью диаграмм векторов скорости.
В другом примере лодка и корабль движутся друг от друга под углом 45°. При наблюдении с движущегося судна кажется, что лодка удаляется под углом более 45°.
Скорость лодки относительно воды составляет 35 километров в час, а скорость судна — 40 километров в час. Какой будет скорость лодки относительно корабля?
Сначала перечислите известные и неизвестные величины. Подпишите эскиз векторного треугольника. Убедитесь, что сумма углов треугольника равна 180°.
Используя закон синусов и подставляя величину сторон и их противоположных углов треугольника, вычисляется скорость лодки относительно корабля.

Относительная скорость в двух измерениях

Относительная скорость — это скорость объекта, наблюдаемая из определённой системой отсчёта, или скорость одной системы отсчёта относительно другой системы отсчёта. Концепция относительной скорости может быть использована для описания движения в двух измерениях. Рассмотрим частицу P и две системы отсчёта S и S′. Положение начала S′ в S измерено как <img alt="Image01" src="/files/ftp_upload/12640/12640img01.png" style="height: 18px;" />, положение P в S′ измерено как <img alt="Image02" src="/files/ftp_upload/12640/12640img02.png" style="opacity: 0.9; height: 18px;" />, и положение P в S измерено как <img alt="Image03" src="/files/ftp_upload/12640/12640img03.png" style="opacity: 0.9; height: 18px;" />, которое может быть вычислено с помощью векторного сложения:

<img alt="Equation1" src="/files/ftp_upload/12640/12640_Equation_1.png" style="height: 18px;" />

Также, относительные скорости являются производными по времени от векторов положения. Следовательно,

<img alt="Equation2" src="/files/ftp_upload/12640/12640_Equation_2.png" style="height: 18px;" />

Скорость частицы относительно S равна её скорости относительно S′ плюс скорость S′ относительно S. Это можно распространить на любое количество систем отсчёта.

Для частицы P со скоростями <img alt="Image04" src="/files/ftp_upload/12640/12640img04.png" style="height: 18px;" />, <img alt="Image05" src="/files/ftp_upload/12640/12640img05.png" style="height: 18px;" /> and <img alt="Image06" src="/files/ftp_upload/12640/12640img06.png" style="height: 18px;" /> в системах A, B и C соответственно, отношение может быть записано как

<img alt="Equation3" src="/files/ftp_upload/12640/12640_Equation_3.png" style="height: 18px;" />

Также, связь между ускорениями, наблюдаемыми в двух системах отсчёта, может быть получена путём дифференцирования уравнения для скорости:

<img alt="Equation4" src="/files/ftp_upload/12640/12640_Equation_4.png" style="height: 18px;" />

adding velocities across reference frames

Relative velocity describes motion as measured from a chosen reference frame. It can also describe the motion of one reference frame compared with another. In two dimensions, this idea helps track how position and velocity change from frame to frame.

Consider a particle P and two reference frames, S and S′. The position of the origin of S′, measured in S, and the position of P, measured in S′, can be combined with vector addition to find the position of P in S. This relation shows how motion in one frame is built from positions in both frames.

Velocity comes from the time derivative of position, so the same frame relation applies to velocities. The velocity of a particle relative to S equals its velocity relative to S′ plus the velocity of S′ relative to S. This rule can be extended to any number of reference frames.

For a particle P with velocities in frames A, B, and C, the same idea links all three frame measurements. The relationship between accelerations in two frames can also be found by differentiating the velocity equation. These vector relations are the basis for analyzing relative motion in one and two dimensions.

position and displacement vectors

Describing Motion with Position Changes

Describing motion starts with position. Position tells where an object is at a particular time. It must be measured relative to a frame of reference, which is an arbitrary set of axes used to describe position and motion. Earth is often used as a frame of reference. It helps describe an object’s location in relation to stationary objects on Earth. Many important motions also take place in two dimensions, or in a plane. In those cases, position, velocity, and acceleration can each be described...

average and instantaneous velocity vectors

Position Change and Instant Velocity

Position change and instant velocity are key ideas in kinematics. To describe motion, time must be included. Time tells us where an object is and how fast it is moving. The speed of an object comes from how its position changes with time. Each position is tied to a specific time. When the details of motion at each instant are not important, the rate is given as average velocity. Average velocity is a vector. It equals the total displacement between two points divided by the elapsed time. Real...

acceleration vectors

How Velocity Changes Create Acceleration

Acceleration describes how velocity changes over time. In physics, acceleration is a vector, which means it has both size and direction. It points in the same direction as the change in velocity, written as Δv. The larger the acceleration, the larger the change in velocity over a given time. Because velocity is a vector, it can change in more than one way. An object can speed up, slow down, change direction, or do both at once. A runner traveling 10 km/h due east who stops, turns around, and...

direction of acceleration vectors

Negative Acceleration and Motion Reversal

Acceleration describes a change in velocity. That change can be a change in speed, a change in direction, or both. The acceleration vector points in the direction of the velocity change, not always in the direction the object is moving. When an object slows down, its acceleration points opposite to its motion. This is often called deceleration. The term can be confusing in physics because deceleration is not a vector. It does not give a direction relative to a coordinate system, so the correct...

projectile motion

Projectile Paths Under Gravity

Projectile motion describes the path of an object thrown into the air under Earth’s gravity. The object is called a projectile, and its curved path is called the trajectory. This motion appears in many real situations, such as fireworks, a golf ball in flight, meteors entering Earth’s atmosphere, and bullets being fired. When a falling object has no horizontal movement, it is described as one-dimensional projectile motion. When motion includes both horizontal and vertical parts, it is...

projectile motion: equations

Solving Projectile Motion with Components

Projectile motion can be solved by breaking the motion into horizontal and vertical components. This approach is used for common examples like a basketball throw, an arrow shot from a bow, and kids jumping into a pool. The motion is then analyzed along the x-axis and y-axis. Start by separating displacement into x and y parts. The horizontal and vertical parts of velocity are also separated. If the projectile has speed v and direction θ relative to the horizontal, the vertical component is...

Projectile Motion in Sports and Orbit

Projectile motion helps explain both sports throws and motion near Earth. A javelin thrower uses this idea to send the javelin as far as possible. The thrower also takes a short run-up to increase the initial speed of the javelin. For a projectile on level ground, the range is the horizontal distance it travels. The range is largest at a 45° angle, so javelin throwers try to release the javelin as close to that angle as possible. In this case, the range equation assumes the distance is very...

uniform circular motion

Centripetal Acceleration in Circular Motion

Uniform circular motion describes motion in a circle at constant speed. An object follows a curved path, but its speed does not change. The motion of a point on a propeller spinning at a steady rate and the second, minute, and hour hands of a watch are common examples. Even with constant speed, these objects are still accelerating. That idea can seem surprising because in one-dimensional motion, constant speed means zero acceleration. In two- and three-dimensional motion, a particle can...

non-uniform circular motion

Circular Motion with Changing Speed

Circular motion can happen with changing speed. In this case, the object still follows a circular path, but it may speed up or slow down as it moves. When speed changes during circular motion, the motion is called non-uniform circular motion. This adds tangential acceleration, which points along the path of motion and shows a change in speed. Centripetal acceleration is still present in circular motion. It describes the time rate of change of the direction of the velocity vector and points...

relative velocity in one dimension

Relative Motion in a Train and Earth

Relative motion depends on the reference frame used to measure velocity. A reference frame is the point of view from which motion is described. In many examples, Earth is the reference frame. If someone is said to be sitting in a train moving east at 10 m/s, that speed is measured relative to Earth.

relative velocity in two dimensions

Relative velocity describes motion as measured from a chosen reference frame. It can also describe the motion of one reference frame compared with another. In two dimensions, this idea helps track how position and velocity change from frame to frame. Consider a particle P and two reference frames, S and S′. The position of the origin of S′, measured in S, and the position of P, measured in S′, can be combined with vector addition to find the position of P in S. This relation shows how motion...
