A knife is dropped from the top of a 11.0 m high mast on a ship moving at 1.74 m/s due south. (a) Calculate the velocity of the knife relative to the ship when it hits the deck of the ship. x m/s (down) (b) Calculate the velocity of the knife relative to a stationary observer on shore. m/s ° (below the horizontal to the south) () Discuss how the answers give a consistent result for the position at which the knife hits the deck.
