A girl, moving at 8.8 m/s on in-line skates, is overtaking a boy moving at 4.3 m/s as they both skate on a straight path. The bo

Answer:16.5 m/s

Explanation:

Given

Velocity of boy(v_b)=4.3 m/s

velocity of girl(v_g)=8.8 m/s

velocity of ball relative to boy(v_{Bb})=11.4 m/s backward

Now We have to find velocity of ball relative to girl

Representing it in vector form

v_b=4.3\hat{i}

v_g=8.8\hat{i}

v_{Bb}=-11.4\hat{i}

and

v_{Bb}=v_B-v_b

v_B=v_{Bb}+v_b

v_B=-11.4\hat{i}+4.3\hat{i}=-7.1\hat{i}

therefore velocity of ball relative to girl

v_{Bg}=v_B-v_g=-7.1\hat{i}-8.8\hat{i}=-16.5\hat{i}

A solid cylinder is released from the top of an inclined plane of height 0.81 m. From what height, in meters, on the incline sho
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

same 0.81m

Explanation:

in this problem if we assume there no resistance of any sort. and we apply the energy conservation

change in Potential energy = change in kinetic energy

mgh = 0.5mv^2

gh = 0.5v^2

the above relation suggests that the speed at the bottom is only depending on the height it is released from not on the shape, mass or radius.

so at the bottom

put h = 0.81m

9.81 * 0.81 * 2 = v^2

v=3.99 m/s

both CYLINDER and SPHERE will have same velocity at the bottom if released from the same height irrespective of shape and size

Which statement describes the reason for the change in the velocity of waves as temperature decreases?
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

O The particles of the medium move more slowly and there are fewer chances to transfer energy.

Explanation:

Various media are made up of particles. These particles are in constant motion according to the kinetic theory of matter. Recall that temperature has been defined as the average kinetic energy of the particles in a medium. Hence, for any given medium, the velocity of particle motion increases or decreases linearly with temperature.

The speed of particles in any medium increases or decreases as the temperature of the medium increases or decreases as emphasised above. Hence, at low temperature, the velocity of waves set up by the motion of particles in a medium decreases and transfer the wave energy to neighbouring particles occurs more slowly than at high temperatures.

A car has a kinetic energy of 1.9 × 10^3 joules. If the velocity of the car is decreased by half, what is its kinetic energy?
VLD [36.1K]
The initial kinetic energy of the car is
E_1 =  \frac{1}{2}mv_1^2 =  1.9 \cdot 10^3 J

Then, the velocity of the car is decreased by half: v_2 =  \frac{v_1}{2}
so, the new kinetic energy is
E_2 =  \frac{1}{2}mv_2 ^2 =  \frac{1}{2} m ( \frac{v_1}{2} )^2= \frac{1}{2}m \frac{v_1^2}{4}= \frac{E_1}{4}
So, the new kinetic energy is 1/4 of the initial kinetic energy of the car. Numerically:
E_2 =  \frac{1.9 \cdot 10^3 J}{4}=475 J
