Hot air balloon A is rising upward a rate of 5.0 m/s. A passenger aboard balloon A observes balloon B rising upward at a relativ

e rate of 7.5 m/s. What is the velocity of balloon B relative to the ground? Assume that up is positive.

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.

ss7ja [257]
It does not violate the law of conservation of energy. The oscillation stops when the energy is lost and the energy is lost because it becomes heat that is created by the air resistance and many other forces found in the surrounding of the oscillating spring.

Two forces are acting on a wheelbarrow. One force is pushing to the right and an equal force is pushing to the left. What can yo
andreev551 [17]

-- As far as we know, the forces on the wheelbarrow are balanced.

-- That tells us that the net force on the wheelbarrow is zero, just
as if there were no forces acting on it at all.

-- That tells us that the wheelbarrow's acceleration is zero ... its
speed and direction of motion are not changing.

-- That tells us that the wheelbarrow is moving in a straight line
at a constant speed.  It's very possible that relative to us, the speed
may be zero, but we can't tell that from the given information.
