Because there's no such thing as "really" moving.
ALL motion is always relative to something.
Here's an example:
You're sitting in a comfy cushy seat, reading a book and listening
to your .mp3 player, and you're getting drowsy. It's so warm and
comfortable, your eyes are getting so heavy, finally the book slips
out of your hand, falls into your lap, and you are fast asleep.
-- Relative to you, the book is not moving at all.
-- Relative to the seat, you are not moving at all.
-- Relative to the wall and the window, the seat is not moving at all.
-- But your seat is in a passenger airliner. Relative to people on the
ground, you are moving past them at almost 500 miles per hour !
-- Relative to the center of the Earth, the people on the ground are moving
in a circle at more than 700 miles per hour.
-- Relative to the center of the Sun, the Earth and everything on it are moving
in a circle at about 66,700 miles per hour !
How fast are they REALLY moving ?
There's no such thing.
It all depends on what reference you're using.
Answer:
Solar radiation is radiant energy emitted by the sun, particularly electromagnetic energy.
Answer:
Force = mass × acceleration
Explanation:
The amount of force required to drag the object across the table is the product of the mass of the object and acceleration
Answer:
-929.5Joules
Explanation:
To get the work done by sam, we will calculate the kinetic energy of sam expressed as;
KE = 1/2mv²
m is the mass = 1100kg
v is the velocity = 1.3m/s
KE = 1/2(1100)(1.3)²
KE = 550(1.69)
KE = 929.5Joules
Since Sam is opposing the direction of movement, work done by him will be a negative work i.e -929.5Joules
Answer:
12.24 m/s
Explanation:
Speed: This can be defined as the rate of change of distance with time. The S.I unit of speed is m/s.
Using the formula,
a = v/t................ Equation 1
Where a = acceleration of the sprinter, v = speed of the sprinter, t = time.
making v the subject of the equation,
v = at ................. Equation 2
Given: a = 5.1 m/s², t = 2.4 s.
Substitute into equation 2
v = 5.1(2.4)
v = 12.24 m/s.
Hence, the speed of the sprinter = 12.24 m/s
