A man is traveling from the back of a boat to the front of the boat at 2.0 m/s while the boat itself is traveling at 12.0 m/s to

ward a dock. How far will the man move across the boat in 4.0 seconds? Relative to the dock, how far will the man move in 4.0 seconds?

Based on the relative velocity of the man with respect to the boat and the dock:

  • Distance covered in 4.0 seconds relative to the boat  = 8 m
  • Distance covered in 4.0 seconds relative to the dock = 56 m

<h3>What is relative velocity?</h3>

Relative velocity is the velocity of a body relative to another body which serves as a reference point.

Relative velocity is a vector.

Considering the velocity of the man and the boat:

The relative velocity of the man with respect to the boat = 2.0 m/s

Distance covered in 4.0 seconds relative to the boat = 2.0 m/s * 4.0 s

Distance moved = 8 m

Relative velocity of the man with respect to the dock = 12 + 2 = 14 m/s

Distance covered in 4.0 seconds relative to the dock = 14.0 m/s * 4.0 s

Distance moved = 56 m

In conclusion, the relative velocity is velocity with respect to a reference point.

A 3kg book falls from a 2m tall bookshelf what is the speed <br><br> PICTURE included
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

39.2m/s

Explanation:

The potential energy the book has right before it falls is equal to the kinetic energy in falling.

PE = KE

mgh = (1/2)mv

2gh=v

v=(2)(9.81)(2)

v=39.24m/s

A ball is thrown up at a speed of 20 m/s.
ioda

Given:

(Initial velocity)u=20 m/s

At the maximum height the final velocity of the ball is 0.

Also since it is a free falling object the acceleration acting on the ball is due to gravity g.

Thus a=- 9.8 m/s^2

Now consider the equation

v^2-u^2= 2as

Where v is the final velocity which is measured in m/s

Where u is the initial velocity which is measured in m/s

a is the acceleration due to gravity measured in m/s^2

s is the displacement of the ball in this case it is the maximum height attained by the ball which is measured in m.

Substituting the given values in the above formula we get

0-(20x20)= 2 x- 9.8 x s

s= 400/19.6= 20.41m

Thus the maximum height attained is 20.41 m by the ball
