James Bond (007) runs from the front to the back of an aircraft carrier at a velocity of 3.15 m/s S. If the aircraft carrier is moving forward at 31.0 m/s N, how fast does Bond appear to be running when viewed by an observer on a nearby stationary submarine?

Respuesta :

Answer:

  27.85 m/s

Explanation:

If we take the direction of motion of the aircraft carrier as positive, The speed of the deck is 31.0 m/s. Bond is running in the opposite direction, so his speed relative to the deck is -3.15 m/s.

Bond's speed relative to the stationary reference (the sub or the water), is ...

  31.0 m/s - 3.15 m/s = 27.85 m/s
