3 Relative and Circular Motion

A girl stands on a moving sidewalk moving at 2 m/s. A dog runs on the belt toward the girl at 8 m/s relative to the belt. To calculate the dog's speed relative to the ground, we add the speed of the belt and the dog's speed relative to the belt, which is 6 m/s. The speed of the dog relative to the girl remains 8 m/s.
