Now just a second. I am not your desk calculator. But this is trivial. if he were stationary of the carrier it would be 15 m/s
If he were running back at 15,it would be zero
if he ran at 3 it would by 15 - 3
A spy runs from the front to the back of an
aircraft carrier at a velocity of 3.4 m/s. The
aircraft carrier is moving forward at 15.0 m/s.
How fast does the spy appear to be running when viewed by an observer on a nearby
stationary submarine (forward is positive)?
Answer in units of m/s.
