They might feel weightless and that it depends on which planet they are, they might seem lighter in other planets and heavier on other planets.

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

Inside most ball-point pens is a small spring that compresses as the pen is pressed against the paper. If a force of 0.1 N compr
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

20 N/m

Explanation:

From the question,

The ball-point pen obays hook's law.

From hook's law,

F = ke............................ Equation 1

Where F = Force, k = spring constant, e = compression.

Make k the subject of the equation

k = F/e........................ Equation 2

Given: F = 0.1 N, e = 0.005 m.

Substitute these values into equation 2

k = 0.1/0.005

k = 20 N/m.

Hence the spring constant of the tiny spring is 20 N/m
