A person on a ferry boat walks from one side of the ferry to the other. Their velocity is 1.5m/s[W] relative to the ferry. The f

erry is travelling at 5.0m/s [S] relative to the shore. Determine the persons velocity to the shore.

The person's velocity relative to the shore is determined as 6.5 m/s.

<h3>Velocity of the person</h3>

The velocity of the person is calculated as follows;

V(p/f) = V(p) - V(f)

where;

  • V(p/f) is the velocity of the person relative to the ferry
  • V(p) is the velocity of the person
  • V(f) is velocity of the ferry

1.5 = V(p) - 5

V(p) = 6.5 m/s

Thus, the person's velocity relative to the shore is determined as 6.5 m/s.

A rocket's mass decreases as it burns fuel. the equation of motion for a rocket in vertical flight can be obtained from newton's
Talja [164]

<span>The equation of motion for a rocket in vertical flight can be obtained from newton’s second law of motion and is constant-mass system. The equation of motion for a body mass varies with time and mass. When force acts on rocket, the rocket will accelerate in the direction of force. Therefore, force is equal to the change in momentum per change in time. For constant mass, force equals mass times acceleration.</span>

When a parachutist jumps from an airplane, he eventually reaches a constant speed, called the terminal speed. Once he has reache
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

b) True.    the force of air drag on him is equal to his weight.

Explanation:

Let us propose the solution of the problem in order to analyze the given statements.

The problem must be solved with Newton's second law.

When he jumps off the plane

     fr - w = ma

Where the friction force has some form of type.

     fr = G v + H v²

Let's replace

     (G v + H v²) - mg = m dv / dt

We can see that the friction force increases as the speed increases

At the equilibrium point

      fr - w = 0

      fr = mg

      (G v + H v2) = mg

For low speeds the quadratic depended is not important, so we can reduce the equation to

     G v = mg

     v = mg / G

This is the terminal speed.

Now let's analyze the claims

a) False is g between the friction force constant

b) True.

c) False. It is equal to the weight

d) False. In the terminal speed the acceleration is zero

e) False. The friction force is equal to the weight

Describe the astronomical achievement of Mesopotamia
Annette [7]
Beginning around 5,500 years ago, the Sumerians built cities along the rivers in Lower Mesopotamia, specialized, cooperated, and made many advances in technology. The wheel, plow, and writing (a system which we call cuneiform) are examples of their achievements.
