The tourist reaches the car safely. The maximum possible value for d will be 44.6 m.

<h3>What is the distance?</h3>

Distance is a numerical representation of the distance between two objects or locations.

The distance can refer to a physical length or an estimate based on other factors in physics or common use. |AB| is a symbol for the distance between two points A and B.

When the bear just touches the tourist, let T be the time.

\rm T= \frac{D}{v_1-v_2} \\\\ T=\frac{23.3}{10.3-6.96} \\\\ T=6.67 sec

The tourist must arrive at the car inside this window in order to be safe.

d≤speed of tourist × time

d≤6.69 × 6.67

d≤44.6 m

Hence, the maximum possible value for d will be 44.6 m.

How far will a runner travel if she had an average speed of 10 km/hour and runs for 2.1 hours?
Rasek [7]
10 Km.
S= Speed
D= distance 
T= time

S= d/t
but since you are solving for "d" the equation is d=st so you plug in 10 km/h for speed and 2.1 hours for time and just multiply them. The hours cancel out so you are left with 10km.

Describe how charge is transferred from the ruler to the metal rod.
spin [16.1K]
When the ruler is broughı near the inetal knob, it repels electrons in the metal. Electrons move away froni the ruler and down the metal rod. The knob now has a positive charge. The thin pieces of metal foil at the bottom of the metal rod now have a negative charge.

A ship sets sail from Rotterdam, The Netherlands, intending to head due north at 6.5 m/s relative to the water. However, the loc
sattari [20]

Answer:

Explanation:

velocity of ship with respect to water = 6.5 m/s due north

\overrightarrow{v}_{s,w}=6.5 \widehat{j}

velocity of water with respect to earth = 1.5 m/s at 40° north of east

\overrightarrow{v}_{w,e}=1.5\left ( Cos40\widehat{i} +Sin40\widehat{j}\right)

velocity of ship with respect to water = velocity of ship with respect to earth - velocity of water with respect to earth

\overrightarrow{v}_{s,w} = \overrightarrow{v}_{s,e} - \overrightarrow{v}_{w,e}

\overrightarrow{v}_{s,e} = 6.5 \widehat{j}- 1.5\left (Cos40\widehat{i} +Sin40\widehat{j}  \right )

\overrightarrow{v}_{s,e} = - 1.15 \widehat{i}+5.54\widehat{j}

The magnitude of the velocity of ship relative to earth is \sqrt{1.15^{2}+5.54^{2}} = 5.66 m/s
