Relative to the Earth, yes; The inside of the airplane acts as its own kind of "world", in which the standard would be moving 500 mph relative to the Earth.  As the fly is moving forward inside, you would add the 500 mph of the plane plus the speed of the fly relative to the plane to get the speed of the fly relative to the Earth.

Any motion is only measurable by comparing it with something else.
In the same frame of reference in which the plane is traveling at 500 mph,
yes, the fly is moving faster than that. But from the point of view of a passenger
on the plane, no it isn't.

1. Find the kinetic energy of the uniform circular cone of height h, base radius R, and mass M. Rotating with the angular veloci
leonid [27]

Answer:

1) I = \frac{3}{10}\cdot m\cdot r^{2}, 2) K = \frac{1}{10}\cdot m \cdot (b^{2}+c^{2})

Explanation:

1) The kinetic energy due to the rotation is:

K = \frac{1}{2}\cdot I\cdot \omega^{2}

Where I and \omega are the moment of inertia and angular speed, respectively. The moment of inertia of the circular cone is:

I = \frac{3}{10}\cdot m\cdot r^{2}

The kinetic energy is:

K = \frac{3}{20}\cdot m\cdot r^{2}\cdot \omega^{2}

2) The moment of inertia of the ellipsoid is (where a is the major semiaxis):

I = \frac{1}{5}\cdot m \cdot (b^{2}+c^{2})

The kinetic energy is:

K = \frac{1}{10}\cdot m \cdot (b^{2}+c^{2})

Describe the action and reaction force pairs involved when an object falls toward earth
kozerog [31]

Before going to answer this question first we have to understand Newton's third law.

As per newtons third law ,for every action,there is an equal and opposite reaction.The force exerted by a body on other body is called action and force that the body gets in turn is called reaction. They will always act on two different bodies and their direction will be opposite to each other.

As per the question a object is falling under gravity. We are asked to find out the action and reaction forces.

We know that every object having mass will imparts gravitational forces on each other.In this question the earth will apply the force of gravity on the body which is in vertically downward direction.Due to this gravity,the body will fall towards earth with an acceleration of 9.8 m/s^2 .This is the force of action.

The falling object also applies same amount of force on earth in vertically upward direction.But we will not notice any acceleration of earth.It is so because the earth is very massive, so the acceleration produced  by earth is very small.The force exerted by the falling object on earth is the force of reaction.

Technician A says that power is the rate that energy is stored. Technician B says that power refers to the rate that energy is t
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

C. Both technicians A and B

Explanation:

From the physical definition, power is defined as the rate of a body doing work. It is expressed as  

                                     P = w/t    watts

Where  

                       w - is the work done or the energy of the system in joules

                        t - time

The unit of power is represented in watts.

Whenever there is a rate of change of energy in the system, it accounts for the efficiency of the power of the system.

Hence, the statements of both technicians are correct.

A 78.5-kg man is standing on a frictionless ice surface when he throws a 2.40-kg book horizontally at a speed of 11.3 m/s. With
kirill [66]

Answer:

The man moves across the ice with a speed of 0.345m/s.

Explanation:

From the conservation of linear momentum, we have that the total linear momentum before the book throw is equal to the total linear momentum just after it. Since the initial velocity of the system is zero (so the initial momentum is zero), we have that:

m_mv_m+m_bv_b=0\\\\v_m=-\frac{m_b}{m_m} v_b

Where m_m is the mass of the man, m_b is the mass of the book, and v_m and v_b are their velocities. Plugging in the given values, we can compute the speed of the man (ignoring the negative sign, because we care about the magnitude, not the direction):

v_m=\frac{2.40kg}{78.5kg}(11.3m/s)=0.345m/s

In words, the resulting speed of the man is 0.345m/s.
