A boat is traveling with a velocity of 18 meters/second relative to water and the river is flowing at a velocity of 2.5 meters/s

econd relative to the shore. What will be the velocity of the boat if the boat and the water are in opposite directions?

Vt = Vboat - Vriver 
Vt = 18 - 2.5 = 15.5 m/s 

If the boat's direction is the same as the water, you sum the velocities of the river and the boat .

Answer:Velocity of boat is 15.5 \frac{m}{s}

Explanation:Using equation of relative motion

V_{boat,water}=V_{boat}-V{water}

=>V_{boat}=V_{boat,water}+V_{water}

where velocity of boat relative to water , V_{boat,water}=18 m/s

velocity of water, V_{water}=-2.5\frac{m}{s}

and velocity of boat , V_{boat}=? \frac{m}{s} to be calculated.

Putting the known values in the above equation , we get

V_{boat}= (18-2.5)\frac{m}{s}=15.5\frac{m}{s}

Two balls of equal size are dropped from the same height from the roof of a building. One ball has twice the mass of the other.
frutty [35]

Answer:

The kinetic energy of the more massive ball is greater by a factor of 2.

Explanation:

By conservation of energy, we know that the initial energy = final energy. At first, the balls are dropped from a height with no initial velocity so their initial energy is all potential energy. When they reach the bottom, all their energy is kinetic energy. So all of their energy is changed from potential to kinetic energy. This means that the ball with greater potential energy will have a greater kinetic energy.

Potential energy = mgh. Since g = gravity is a constant and h = height is the same, the only difference is mass. Since mass is directly proportional to potential energy, the greater the mass, the greater the potential energy, so the more massive ball has a greater initial potential energy and will have a greater kinetic energy at the bottom.

Additionally, let B1 = lighter ball with mass m and let B2 = heavier ball with mass m2. Since we know that intial potential energy = final kinetic energy. We can rewrite it as potential energy = kinetic energy = mass * gravity constant * height. For B1, it is mgh and for B2 it is 2mgh, so B2's kinetic energy is twice that of B1.

Water evaporates from the surface of the land and oceans, rises and cools, condenses into rain or snow, and falls again to the surface as precipitation. The water falling on land collects in rivers and lakes, soil, and porous layers of rock, and much of it flows back into the oceans. The cycling of water in and out of the atmosphere is a significant aspect of the weather patterns on Earth. so that will be probs the best i can do

A car and a truck are moving next to each other on the highway. The truck has a mass of 910 kg and the car’s mass is 227 kg. IF
eimsori [14]

Answer:

<h2>the car must move with the speed</h2><h2>v = 72.16 m/s</h2>

Explanation:

As we know that the momentum of the car and truck is same

so as per the formula of momentum we have

P = mv

so we have

m_1v_1 = m_2v_2

so we will have

910 \times 18 = 227 v

v = 72.16 m/s

So the car must move with the speed

v = 72.16 m/s

A pitcher throws a 0.14-kg baseball toward the batter so that it crosses home plate horizontally and has a speed of 42 m/s just
kykrilka [37]

Answer

given,

mass of base ball = 0.14 kg

speed before it made the contact with the ball (V i) = 42 m/s

speed after batter hit the ball(V f) = - 48 m/s

a)                                            

impulse = change in momentum

             = m\times (V_f-V_i)      

             =0.14\times (-48-42)

             = -12.6 Kg m/s

Magnitude of impulse = 12.6 Kg m/s

b)                                                        

Force = \dfrac{impulse}{time}

          =  \dfrac{12.6}{0.005}

Force = 2520 N
