When a train moves along a straight track at a velocity of 95 km hr north A person walks toward the back of the train at a velocity of 3 km hr south what is the persons velocity relative to the ground?

If the person sat on the train their velocity relative to the ground would be 95kph. But he/she is goind 3kph to oppose this. So 95-3 = 92 kph to the north is velocity of person relative to the ground.

An arrow is shot straight up at an initial velocity of 250ms How long will it take to hit the ground?
This is a velocity question so u need to use uvaxt
A child drops a ball from a window. The ball strikes the ground in 3.0 seconds. What is the velocity of the ball the instant before it hits the ground?

How long does it take to hit the ground from 28000 feet high?
The answer will depend on what "it" is, and on what its initial velocity is.
Will a ball drop rest reach the ground quicker than the one lunched from the same height but with and initial horizontal velocity?
No. What counts in this case is the vertical component of the velocity, and the initial vertical velocity is zero, one way or another.
A baseball is hit straight up at an initial velocity of 100 meters per second. What will be the baseball's speed when it hits the ground?
I assume you hit it up from the ground level as well. From Conservation of Energy, it immediately follows that: * If there is no air resistance, when it hits the ground it will, once again, have a speed of 100 meters per second. * Since under usual circumstances there WILL BE air resistance, its speed will be less than 100 meters per second.
If you flip a coin just as the airplane takes off from thr runway the coin will land behind you yew or no?
Actually, you AND the coin are travelling at the same velocity as the plane. Therefore, when you flip it up it will come straight back to you and not into the guy behind you...as long as your throw is straight up in the air, of course. This is called relative velocity: the coin is traveling at a horizontal velocity of zero RELATIVE TO THE PLANE, but it is travelling at 400km/h (or whatever the plane is travelling at) RELATIVE TO THE GROUND.
Speed what does it mean?
Speed is the relative velocity of a body (such as an athlete) given a frame of reference (such as the ground).
What is the velocity of a person relative to the ground?
It is the rate of change in the person's position in the direction towards - or away from - the centre of the earth.

If a airplane flies north at a speed of 150 km relative to the air through which it flies If there is a tail wind of 50 km what is the plane's velocity relative to the ground?
a small airplane flies in a straight line at a average speed of 150 km/hour .how long dose it take the plane to fly 250 km
Does air resistance prevent the diver from moving in a straight line once she jumps from the platform?
Since the plane is moving horizontally, the diver will also have this velocity relative to the ground, so on leaving the plane a parabolic curve will tend to be followed although this will be distorted by air resistance.
What is relative time in physics?
Time ticks at different rates, determined by ones velocity through space, or proximity to a massive object. The difference in your time and mine, or that gps satellite and ground based clock make it relative.
An arrow is shot straight up at an initial velocity of 250 ms How long will it take the arrow to hit the ground?
51 seconds.
How do you calculate the velocity of the boat relative to shore?
The velocity of a boat relative to the shore is also known as 'Speed over ground' can be established by two main methods.1. Speed over ground can be established as average speed over ground, by making two position fixes in the chart, using the compass bearings towards at least two shore objects in each of the fixes and writing down the time. The average speedAvSpeed = Distance covered (measured in the chart) / Time elapsed between the two fixes.A fix is a determination of the boat position using landmarks shown in the chart.2. Using a GPS (Global Positioning System). A modern GPS gives you the instant speed over the ground. Using the distance travelled (registered by the GPS) and the elapsed time (also recorded by the GPS) you can calculate the average speed over ground (average velocity relative to shore). Some GPS units can calculate this average speed, if you reset the distance travelled and time elapsed data on the GPS when you start your navigation.
A plane flying 100kmh due north encounters a crosswind of 100kmh from the east ie blowing westward What then is the planes velocity relative to the ground?
141.4 km/h northwest
You are walking toward the back of a bus that is moving forward with a constant velocity. Describe your motion relative to the bus and relative to a point on the ground?
Relative to the bus, you are moving towards the back. If your walking speed is slower than the speed of the moving bus (which it usually will be) then your motion relative to a point on the ground will be moving in the direction of the moving bus, but slower by the speed at which you are walking.
