General Physics 2023-2024 - Relative Motion | 3.3 General Physics

Relative Motion Chad provides a comprehensive lesson on Relative Motion and how to solve relative motion physics problems involving relative velocity in one and two-dimensional motion. He begins with a couple of 1-dimensional relative velocity problems, the classic relative motion train problems. Whether these trains are moving in the same direction or in opposite directions, the relative velocity between the trains can be calculated to determine how long it takes for the trains to collide. He uses these relative motion problems in 1-dimension as a good introduction to relative velocity in 2d problems for which he covers a classic problem involving a swimmer crossing a river (identical in concept to the classical relative velocity riverboat problems). Once again, Chad demonstrates that the x-dimension and y-dimension can be treated independently in 2-dimensional motion problems including relative velocity in 2d problems. 00:00 Lesson Introduction 00:41 Relative Motion in One Dimension (Relative Motion Train Problems) 07:25 Relative Motion in Two Dimensions Problem (River Crossing) Check out Chad's General Physics Master Course: https://www.chadsprep.com/physics-youtube #generalphysics #physicstutorial
