A jogger runs by a river with a velocity of 7 m s relative to the ground. A leaf floating on the river moves with a velocity of
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

The velocity of the leaf relative to the jogger is 5 m/s.                    

Explanation:

Given that,

Velocity of jogger wrt to the ground, V_j=7\ m/s

velocity of leaf wrt the ground, v_i=2\ m/s

We need to find the velocity of the leaf relative to the jogger. Let it is equal to V. So, it is given by :

V=v_j-v_i\\\\V=7-2\\\\V=5\ m/s

So, the velocity of the leaf relative to the jogger is 5 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

The African and South American continents are separating at a rate of about 3 cm per year, according to the ideas of plate tecto
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

166 666 666.7 years

Explanation:

We start the question by making the units uniform. We are told that the continents move at 3 cm/year = 0.03 m/year.

We are also told that the continents are now 5000 km = 5 000 000 m apart

So to calculate the time it took for them to be this far apart

t = distance/speed

t = 5 000 000 m/(0.03 m/year) = 166 666 666.7 years

A student notices that an inflated balloon gets larger when it is warmed by a lamp. Which best describes the mass of the balloon
nirvana33 [79]
It gets larger because
well let me give you an example
so today in class we looked at a lava lamp with wax inside and there was a lightbulb at the bottom.
we watched as the wax floated up because the molecules inside the wax spreads out and makes the wax less dense.
the wax floats up because (which is related to the balloon getting bigger) the wax is getting less dense and the particles get bigger which ALSO makes the wax less dense.
hope this helps and hope you can relate it to your problem! say thanks if I did help AT ALL! :)
