    pointed straight across a river with a current of 4 mph‚ what is his net velocity? If the river is 0.5 miles wide‚ at what point will he land on the other side? Solution: The first step in problem solving is to identify the problem type. In this problem we are asked for a ‘net velocity.’ Since velocities behave as vectors‚ then we have a vector addition problem. A figure is drawn with the vectors indicated. Here vb is the boat’s velocity (still water)‚ vr is the river’s velocity‚ and vnet is the resultant

    If you were to take a random inhabitant of Los Angeles and ask them about the Los Angeles River‚ they would give you a confused look saying “what river?” Meanwhile‚ others will say “Oh‚ you mean the place with the shopping carts.” This is because most of the river has been blocked off over the centuries as more projects cover the river and more recently has become a haven for the homeless. The river has played a large role in the shaping and the history of Los Angeles‚ as the water that flowed from

    Introduction The purpose of this section is to introduce the concepts of displacement‚ velocity‚ and acceleration. For the sake of simplicity‚ we shall restrict our attention to 1-dimensional motion. Displacement Consider a body moving in 1 dimension: e.g.‚ a train traveling down a straight railroad track‚ or a truck driving down an interstate in Kansas. Suppose that we have a team of observers who continually report the location of this body to us as time progresses. To be more exact‚ our observers
