How to Calculate Relative Velocity and Force for a Moving Plane and Carrier?

In summary, relative velocity is the speed and direction of an object in relation to another object. It can be calculated by subtracting the velocities of the two objects or using a specific formula. Relative force, on the other hand, is the strength and direction of the force between two objects in motion relative to each other. It is directly related to relative velocity, as an increase in one leads to an increase in the other. These concepts have various real-world applications in fields such as physics, engineering, and astronomy. They are used to understand and predict the movement of objects and design structures to withstand varying forces.

Homework Statement


Hey guys, I've attached the question.


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


m=3000kg
s=75m
F thrust = 22000 N
v_plane = v_carrier + v_plane/carrier
v_plane = v_carrier + (240/3.6)

not sure where to go with forces...

Related to How to Calculate Relative Velocity and Force for a Moving Plane and Carrier?

What is relative velocity?

Relative velocity refers to the velocity of an object in relation to another object. It takes into account the motion of both objects and describes the speed and direction of one object as observed from the perspective of the other object.

How is relative velocity calculated?

Relative velocity can be calculated by subtracting the velocity of one object from the velocity of the other object. This can also be achieved by using the relative velocity formula, which takes into account the initial velocities and the angle between the two objects.

What is relative force?

Relative force is the force between two objects that are in motion relative to each other. It takes into account the mass, velocity, and acceleration of both objects and describes the strength and direction of the force between them.

How is relative force related to relative velocity?

Relative force is directly related to relative velocity. As the relative velocity between two objects increases, the relative force between them also increases. This is because the faster an object is moving in relation to another object, the greater the impact of their interaction and the force exerted on each other.

What are some real-world applications of relative velocity and force?

Relative velocity and force are important concepts in fields such as physics, engineering, and astronomy. They are used to calculate the trajectories of objects in motion, design structures to withstand varying forces, and understand the movement of celestial bodies in our universe.
