Simon is riding a bike at 12 km/h away from his friend Keesha. He throws a ball at 5 km/h back to Keesha, who is standing still

on a sidewalk. How fast would Keesha say the ball is traveling?

So there are different ways this could be solved. I'll do try to explain it the way I was taught... 

Simon is riding his bike at 12 km/hr relative to the sidewalk, away from where Keesha is.

Simon throws the ball at Keesha, at 5 km/hr. 

Keesha sees the ball approaching her at (12-5) = 7 km/hr relative to the ground to her. 

Therefore the answer is: 7 km/hr

If you lose control of your vehicle and collide with a fixed object, such as a tree, at 60 m.p.h., the force of impact is the sa
My name is Ann [436]
You can compare the velocity of the car, 60 mph, with the velocity that a mass would acquire when falls from certain height.

First, convert 60 mph to m/s:

60 miles/h * 1.60 km/mile * 1000 m/km * 1h/3600s = 26.67 m/s

Second, calculate from what height a body in free fall reachs 26.67 m/s velocity when hits the floor.

free fall => Vf^2 = 2g*H => H = Vf^2 / (2g)

H = (26.67m/s)^2 / (2*9.8 m/s) = 36.2 m

If you consider that the height between the floors of a building is approximately 3.6 m, you get 36.2 m / 3.6 m/floor = 10 floors.

Then, you conclude that the force of impact is the same as driving you vehicle off a 10 story building.

Assume that the average mass of each of the approximately 1 billion people in China is 55 kg.Assume that they all gather in one
Harman [31]

Answer: 5.9(10)^{-8} m

Explanation:

The equation to calculate the center of mass C_{M} of a particle system is:

C_{M}=\frac{m_{1}r_{1}+m_{1}r_{1}+...+m_{n}r_{n}}{m_{1}+m_{2}+...+m_{n}}

In this case we can arrange for one dimension, assuming the geometric center of the Earth and the ladder are on a line, and assuming original center of mass located at the Earth's geometric center:

C_{M}=\frac{m_{E}(0 m) + m_{p} r_{E-p}}{m_{E}+m_{p}}

Where:

m_{E}=5.9(10)^{24} kg is the mass of the Earth

m_{p}=55(10)^{9} kg is the mass of 1 billion people

r_{E}=6371000 m is the radius of the Earth

r_{E-p}=6371000 m- 2m=6370998 m is the distance between the center of the Earth and the position of the people (2 m above the Earth's surface)

C_{M}=\frac{m_{p}55(10)^{9} kg (6370998 m)}{5.9(10)^{24} kg+55(10)^{9} kg}

C_{M}=5.9(10)^{-8} m This is the displacement of Earth's center of mass from the original center.
