Relative Motion Simulation Lab

Navigating a river crossing is a good example of the need to understanding relative motion.  Currents effect other modes of transportation as well.  Follow the link below to see an instructional video on how to stand up paddle board across a river.

Task:  Determine v_BW from the Relative Motion Gif.

Method: 

·         Use relative motion relationship v_BL = v_BW + v_WL and information collected from the Relative Motion Gif.

·         Use the Gif Scrubber to collect your data.

·         You must develop your own experimental design and analysis methods.
