The velocity of the wind relative to the cyclist is determined as -15.3 km i - 3.5 km j.

<h3>Velocity of the wind relative the cyclist</h3>

The speed of the wind in x - direction and y - direction is calculated as follows;

v(w/c) = - 5 km(cos 45)i - 5km(sin45)j

v(w/c) = [- 3.5 i - 3.5 j ] km

velocity of wind with respect to cyclist = (-12 km i - 3.5 km i) - 3.5 km j

velocity of wind with respect to cyclist = -15.3 km i - 3.5 km j

Thus, the velocity of the wind relative to the cyclist is determined as -15.3 km i - 3.5 km j.

PLEASE HELP FAST Five-gram samples of brick and glass are at room temperature. Both samples receive equal amounts of energy due
suter [353]

Answer:

1.The temperature of each sample will increase by the same amount

Explanation:

This is because, since their specific heat capacities are the same and we have the same mass of each substance, and the same amount of energy due to heat flow is supplied to both the glass and brick at room temperature, their temperatures would thereby increase by the same amount.

This is shown by the calculation below

Q = mcΔT

ΔT = Q/mc where ΔT = temperature change, Q = amount of heat, m = mass of substance and c = specific heat capacity of substance.

Since Q, m and c are the same for both substances, thus ΔT will be the same.

So, the temperature of each sample will increase by the same amount

Should you be worried if a n eighteen wheeler truck is riding close behind your car? Explain why or why not. Please help me D:
xz_007 [3.2K]
For some reasons, no. If the driver looks focused and has experience, then it would be okay. Again, it could be dangerous if you bump into the truck, it would cause damage to you and your passengers. 

Mostly, I would agree with 'No'. :)

A train travels 120 km in 2 hours and 30 minutes. What is its average speed?
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

13.33 or 13 1/3m/s (meters per second)

Explanation:

In physics, we use the basic units of meters and seconds. So first convert (km) into meters (m) and also hours and minutes into seconds (s). We end up with 120000m and 9000s. Then divide the 120000m by the 9000s and you end up with 13.33 or 13 1/3 m/s.
