sum of the position vector of Mike in the train
reference frame and the position vector of the train in
the ground reference frame.

CheckPoint
A girl stands on a moving sidewalk that moves to the right at 2 m/s
relative to the ground. A dog runs toward the girl in the opposite direction
along the sidewalk at a speed of 8 m/s relative to the sidewalk.
What is the speed of the dog relative to the ground?
vdog,belt = 8 m/s
vbelt,ground = 2 m/s
A) 6 m/s
B) 8 m/s
C) 10 m/s

What is the speed of the dog relative to the ground?
vdog,belt = 8 m/s
vbelt,ground = 2 m/s
A) 6 m/s
B) 8 m/s
C) 10 m/s
+x
vdog, ground = vdog, belt + vbelt, ground
= (-8 m/s) + (2 m/s) = -6 m/s

vbelt,ground = 2 m/s
A) 6 m/s
B) 8 m/s
C) 10 m/s
A) Because the girl is actually moving and the two vectors are opposite, so
together they make 6 m/s
B) Because the girl is not moving relative to the belt, and the dog is going 8 m/s
relative to the belt, the dog is also moving 8 m/s relative to the girl..
C) The dog and girl are running towards each other so when you add the two
velocities together it would be 8+2.
Mechanics Lecture 3, Slide 13
What is the speed of the dog relative to the girl?
vdog,belt = 8 m/s
vbelt,ground = 2 m/s
A) 6 m/s
B) 8 m/s
C) 10 m/s
B) Because the girl is not moving relative to the belt, and the dog is going 8 m/s
relative to the belt, the dog is also moving 8 m/s relative to the girl.
Using the velocity formula:
vdog, girl = vdog, belt + vbelt, girl
= -8 m/s + 0 m/s
= -8 m/s

Caveat !!!!
The simple addition of velocities
as shown only works for speeds
much less than the speed of
light…need special relativity at

A man starts to walk along the dotted line painted on a moving sidewalk
toward a fire hydrant that is directly across from him. The width of the

his walking speed is 1 m/s, how far away will he be from the hydrant
when he reaches the other side?

flow, Ann swims upstream at 30 degrees, and Carly swims
downstream at 30 degrees.

Accelerating (Non-Inertial) Frames of Reference
Accelerating Frame of Reference
Confusing due to the fact that the
acceleration can result in what appears to
be a “push or pull”.

Inertial Frames of Reference
Inertial Frames of Reference
Non-accelerating frames of reference in a state of constant, rectilinear motion
with respect to one another. An accelerometer moving with any of them would
detect zero acceleration.

CheckPoint
A girl twirls a rock on the end of a
string around in a horizontal circle
above her head as shown from above
in the diagram.
If the string breaks at the instant
shown, which of the arrows best
represents the resulting path of the
rock?
A
B
C
D
After the string breaks, the rock will have no
force acting on it, so it cannot accelerate.
Therefore, it will maintain its velocity at the time
of the break in the string, which is directed
tangent to the circle.
