Velocity B (relative to the A) = Velocity B (relative to the ground) - Velocity A (relative to the ground)

Velocity B (relative to the ground) = Velocity B (relative to the A) + Velocity A (relative to the ground)

Velocity B (relative to the ground) = 7.5 + 5 = 12 m/s

Since both go up in the same direction, we should use the minus sign for relative velocity.

The specific heat of iron is 0.45j/gk. The amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of the 12 g of iron by exactly 15k?
labwork [276]

Answer:

81 J.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Specific heat capacity (C) = 0.45 J/gK.

Temperature change (ΔT) = 15 K

Mass = 12 g

Heat required (Q) =?

The heat required to raise the temperature of iron can be obtained as illustrated below:

Q = MCΔT

Q = 12 × 0.45 × 15

Q = 81 J

Therefore, the heat required to raise the temperature of the iron is 81 J.

Sarai strolls to the right with an average speed of 1.2m/s for 1500 seconds. What was Sarai's displacement in meters?
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

1800 meters

Explanation:

Average speed=1.2 m/s

time= 1500 secs

Displacement = average speed × time

= 1.2 × 1500

=1800 meters
