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.

IF it possible for an object to move for 10 seconds at a high speed and end up with an average velocity of zero? true or false
marishachu [46]

True, if you move something forward at 100 miles an hour but your on something moving backwards 100 miles an hour you up staying in the same location, aka zero velocity.

When comparing the three atomic models provided, which statement best describes the diagram?
aliina [53]
C. Three isotopes of the same element because the number of electrons and protons remain the same but the number of neutrons in the nucleus are different. This means that the isotopes have different masses to each other but the same chemical properties.
