Answer:
This is known as a Galilean transformation where
V' = V - U
Where the primed frame is the Earth frame and the unprimed frame is the frame moving with respect to the moving frame
V - speed of object in the unprimed frame
U - speed of primed frame with respect to the unprimed frame
Here we have:
V = -15 m/s speed of ball in the moving frame (the truck)
U = -20 m/s speed of primed (rest) frame with respect to moving frame
So V' = -15 - (-20) = 5 m/s
It may help if you draw a vector representing the moving frame and then add
a vector representing the speed of the ball in the moving frame.
Answer:
An object has potential energy (stored energy) when it is not in motion. Once a force has been applied or it begins to move the potential energy changes to kinetic energy (energy of motion).
EXAMPLE: A rock sitting on the edge of a cliff. If the rock falls, the potential energy will be converted to kinetic energy, as the rock will be moving. A stretched elastic string in a longbow.
<span>The Climate Friendly Farming Project was designed to provide funding for long term research into the sustainability and adaptability of agricultural systems(wheat, vegetables, and dairy systems) as increasing greenhouse gases
propagate and decline the efficiency of current agricultural practice.</span>
The formula used to find potential energy is <em>P.E. = M * G * H</em> (P.E. is potential energy, M is mass, G is gravitational pull, and H is height). So the answer to your question is <em>5 * 9.8 * 2</em>, which equals 98.
I'm not really sure what specific answer they're looking for, but if it's an open-ended question, then let's think about it this way...
A light year, is the distance it takes for light to travel in a year. If an object is 50,000 light years away, then by the time the light travels to us, 50,000 years has passed. We are looking at a 50,000 year old image of that object. (ignoring gravity and spatial expansion fun stuffs)
