A person on a ferry boat walks from one side of the ferry to the other. Their velocity is 1.5m/s[W] relative to the ferry. The ferry is travelling at 5.0m/s [S] relative to the shore. Determine the persons velocity to the shore.

The person's velocity relative to the shore is determined as 6.5 m/s.

Velocity of the person

The velocity of the person is calculated as follows;

V(p/f) = V(p) - V(f)

where;

  • V(p/f) is the velocity of the person relative to the ferry
  • V(p) is the velocity of the person
  • V(f) is velocity of the ferry

1.5 = V(p) - 5

V(p) = 6.5 m/s

Thus, the person's velocity relative to the shore is determined as 6.5 m/s.
