Reflect on a recent short trip you have taken as a passenger. In all scenarios, assume you are traveling north at a constant non-zero velocity, approaching an intersection and you are in heavy traffic with cars coming and going in all four directions. In complete sentences, comment qualitatively on the magnitude and direction of the relative motion for the following scenarios. You do not need to provide numerical answers, but you do need to say something about the magnitude of the relative velocity and its direction.

1. You are passing a parked vehicle. What is the relative velocity of the parked vehicle relative to you?

2. A southbound car is approaching from ahead traveling with twice the speed of your car. What is your velocity relative to the oncoming car?

3. You and an eastbound truck are approaching the intersection at the same speed. What is your velocity relative to the truck?

Afisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically without any horizontal motion, owing to waves on the surface of the water. it takes a time of 2.20 s for the boat to travel from its highest point to its lowest, a total distance of 0.670 m . the fisherman sees that the wave crests are spaced a horizontal distance of 5.80 m apart. (a) how much is the wavelength? (b) find the period of the wave. (c) how fast are the waves traveling? (d) what is the amplitude a of each wave?
