Top-down view of conveyor belts and package velocity relative to Belt 1.
Top-down view of conveyor belts and package velocity relative to Belt 1.
In an automated facility, Conveyor Belt 1 moves eastward at a constant speed \(v_1\) relative to the factory floor, while Conveyor Belt 2 moves northward at a constant speed \(v_2\) relative to the factory floor. A robotic actuator on Belt 1 launches a package across Belt 1 such that the package moves northward at a speed \(u\) relative to Belt 1. Which of the following expressions represents the speed of the package as measured by an observer moving with Conveyor Belt 2?
