You are on a cruise ship traveling north at a speed of 13 m/s with respect to land. 1) if you walk north toward the front of the

ship, with a speed of 2.8 with respect to the ship, what is your velocity with respect to the land

In order to find the our own velocity with respect to land,we need to apply the theory of relative velocity.


Now consider the velocity of the ship traveling towards the north with respect to land as A.Consider our own velocity headed northwards as B.

The relative velocity is the velocity that the body A would appear to an observer on the body B and vice versa.


In this case the relative velocity would be arrived by summing up our velocity with the velocity of the ship as the object (I) is travelling in the ship.


Relative velocity = Velocity of Body A+ Velocity of Body B.


Velocity of the ship traveling towards the north with respect to land(A)= 13.0m/s. (Given)

Our own velocity headed northwards(B)= 2.8 m/s.



Relative velocity = Velocity of Body A+ Velocity of Body B.


Relative velocity= 13.0 + 2.8 = 15.8m/s.


Thus our own velocity with respect to the land is 15.8 m/s.

A train travels 8.81 m/s in a -51.0° direction.
Amiraneli [1.4K]

The displacement of the train after 2.23 seconds is 25.4 m.

<h3>Resultant velocity of the train</h3>

The resultant velocity of the train is calculated as follows;

R² = vi² + vf² - 2vivf cos(θ)

where;

  • θ is the angle between the velocity = (90 - 51) + 37 = 76⁰

R² = 8.81² + 9.66² - 2(8.81 x 9.66) cos(76)

R² = 129.75

R = √129.75

R = 11.39 m/s

<h3>Displacement of the train</h3>

Δx = vt

Δx = 11.39 m/s x 2.23 s

Δx = 25.4 m

Thus, the displacement of the train after 2.23 seconds is 25.4 m.

An electron is released from rest at the negative plate of a parallel plate capacitor. The charge per unit area on each plate is
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

v=1.08\times 10^7\ m/s

Explanation:

Initial speed of the electron, u = 0

The charge per unit area of each plate, \dfrac{Q}{A}=1.69\times 10^{-7}\ C/m^2

Separation between the plates, d=1.75\times 10^{-2}\ m

An electron is released from rest, u = 0

Using equation of kinematics,

v^2-u^2=2ad..........(1)

Acceleration of the electron in electric field, a=\dfrac{qE}{m}............(2)

Electric field, E=\dfrac{\sigma}{\epsilon_o}............(3)

From equation (1), (2) and (3) :

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2q\sigma d}{m\epsilon_o}}

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 1.69\times 10^{-7}\times 1.75\times 10^{-2}}{9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}}}

v = 10840393.1799 m/s

or

v=1.08\times 10^7\ m/s

So, the electron is moving with a speed of 1.08\times 10^7\ m/s before it reaches the positive plate. Hence, this is the required solution.
