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.

A ball is dropped from a window and takes two seconds to reach the ground .it starts from rest and reaches a final speed of 20m/
Akimi4 [234]
The ball can't reach the speed of 20 m/s in two seconds, unless you THROW it down from the window with a little bit of initial speed. If you just drop it, then the highest speed it can have after two seconds is 19.6 m/s .

If an object starts from rest and its speed after 2 seconds is 20 m/s, then its acceleration is 20/2 = 10 m/s^2 .

(Gravity on Earth is only 9.8 m/s^2.)

(a) what will an object weigh on the moon's surface if it weighs 100 n on earth's surface
juin [17]
We know the equation

weight = mass × gravity

To work out the weight on the moon, we will need its mass, and the gravitational field strength of the moon.
Remember that your weight can change, but mass stays constant.

So using the information given about the earth weight, we can find the mass by substituting 100N for weight, and we know the gravity on earth is 10Nm*2 (Use the gravitational field strength provided by your school, I am assuming yours in 10Nm*2)

Therefore,

100N = mass × 10
mass= 100N/10
mass= 10 kg

Now, all we need are the moon's gravitational field strength and to apply this to the equation

weight = 10kg × (gravity on moon)

Find the amount of force required to move an object of 1200 kg at a velocity of 54 km/hr?​​
Mkey [24]

Answer:

0 Newtons

Explanation:

The velocity of the object does not change, it is a constant 54 km/hr. When velocity does not change, acceleration is zero. Using the formula Force = mass x acceleration, we find:

mass = 1200 kg

acceleration = 0

F  = (1200)(0) = 0
