A girl stands on a moving sidewalk (conveyor belt) that is moving to the right at a speed of 2 m/s relative to the ground. A dog

runs on the belt toward the girl at a speed of 8 m/s relative to the belt. 1) what is the speed of the dog relative to the ground?

To calculate the speed of the dog relative to the ground, we use the formula,

v_{dog,ground} = v_{dog, belt} + v_{belt, ground}

Here,  v_{dog,ground} is velocity of dog with respect to ground, v_{dog, belt} is velocity of dog with respect to belt and v_{belt, ground} velocity of belt with respect to ground.

Given , v_{dog, belt} = -8 m/s and v_{belt, ground} = 2 m/s.

Substituting these values in above equation, we get

v_{dog,ground} = (-8 m/s) + 2m/s = -6 m/s

An Ethernet cable is 4.00m long. The cable has a mass of 0.200kg . A transverse pulse is produced by plucking one end of the tau
Mashcka [7]

Based on the length of the Ethernet cable and the mass, the tension in the cable can be found to be 80 N.

<h3>How much tension is in the cable?</h3>

The tension in the cable can be found as:

= 4 x mass x length x frequency

Solving for the frequency is:

= 1 / (0.800 / 4)

= 1 / 0.20

= 5.0 Hz

The tension is therefore:

= 4 x 0.20 x 4.00 x 5

= 80N

What is the mechanical advantage of a 8 m ramp that rises 2 m to a stage?
Neko [114]

Answer:

Mechanical advantage = 4

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Distance of effort, de = 8m

Distance of ramp, dr = 2m

To find the mechanical advantage;

Mechanical advantage = de/dr

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Mechanical advantage = 8/2

Mechanical advantage = 4

If our year were twice as long (that is, if Earth took twice as many days to complete each orbit around the Sun), but Earth's ro
Flauer [41]

Answer:

the four seasons would each be twice as long as they are now

Explanation:

A year is the result of the Earths revolution around the sun i.e., the Earth takes 365 days to complete one revolution around the sun. A day is the result of the Earth's rotation on its axis i.e., it takes 24 hours for Earth to complete one rotation on its axis.

The Earth is titled by about 23.5 degrees, this results in the seasons of Earth. The distance from the sun has nothing to do with the seasons. During the northern hemisphere winter the Earth is actually closer to the sun than in the summer. So, if our year was twice as long then the seasons would be twice as long.
