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.

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

A) T.

Explanation:

Kepler's third law states that the orbital period (T) of a satellite is related with the radius (R) and the mass of the object (M) it orbits:

T=\frac{2\pi R^{\frac{3}{2}}}{\sqrt{GM}}  

So the orbital period is independent of the mass of the satellite, that means no matter the mass every satellite at a radius R around the earth have an orbital period A.
