<span>they are travelling at right angles to each other.
 At any given instant they form a right triangle with their starting point
 </span>South bound <span>= x  [mi/h]
</span> East bound <span> = x+1 [mi/h]
 after five hours they will be
 d=5x
 and
 d=5(x+1)
 miles away from the starting point 
 (5x)^2+(5(x+1))^2=625
 25x^2+(5x+5)^2=625
 25x^2+25x^2+50x+25=625
 50</span>x^2+50x-600=0
<span> x^2+ x - 12=0
 (x+4)(x-3)=0
 take the postive value
 x= 3 mph the speed of south bound
 4mph east bound </span>

A baseball approaches home plate at a speed of 44.0 m/s, moving horizontally just before being hit by a bat. The batter hits a p
Luda [366]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of the baseball, u = 44 m/s

Speed of the baseball, v = 53 m/s

Mass of the ball, m = 145 g = 0.145 kg

Time of contact between the ball and the bat, t = 2.2 ms = 0.0022 s

F=ma

F=\dfrac{mv}{t}

F_1=\dfrac{0.145\ kg\times 44\ m/s}{0.0022\ s}

F₁ = 2900 N...........(1)

F=ma

F=\dfrac{mv}{t}

F_2=\dfrac{0.145\ kg\times 53\ m/s}{0.0022\ s}

F₂ = 3493.18 N.........(2)

In average vector form force is given by :

F=F_1+F_2

F=(2900i+(-3493.18)\ N

F=(2900i-3493.18j)\ N

Hence, this is the required solution.

rusak2 [61]
It is called a warm front when a warm air mass moves into an area where a cold air mass is located based on the blanked sentence above. A warm front is a condition where a warm air mass is replacing a cold air in a place. The character of a warm front condition is an increasing in temperature of a place which is caused by the moving warm air mass<span>.</span>

If a neighbor pushes a lawnmower six times as far as you do but exerts only one third the force, which one of you does more work
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

Your neighbor does twice as much work.

Explanation:

Distance(measurement) * exertion(force of pushing mower) = work

6 * 1/3 = 2

Your neighbor does twice as much work as you do.

An apple in a tree has a gravitational store of 8J. As it falls, it accelerates constantly until it hits the ground. What is the
Masja [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that on the tree the gravitational energy stored is 8J

Then, mgh = 8J.

The apple begins to fall and hit the ground, what is the maximum kinetic energy?

Using conservation of energy, as the above is about to hit the ground, the apple is at is maximum speed, and the height then is 0m, so the potential energy at the ground is zero, so all the potential of the apple at the too of the tree is converted to kinetic energy as it is about to hits the ground. Along the way to the ground, both the Kinetic energy and potential energy is conserved, it is notice that at the top of the tree, the apple has only potential energy since velocity is zero at top, and at the bottom of the tree the apple has only kinetic energy since potential energy is zero(height=0)

So,

K.E(max) = 8J
