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

What distance is covered by an airplane traveling at a velocity of 660 miles per hour in 3.5 hours?
N76 [4]

As per the question, the velocity of the airplane [v] = 660 miles per hour.

The total time taken by airplane [t] = 3.5 hours.

We are asked to determine the total distance travelled by the airplane during that period.

The distance covered [ S] by a body is the product of velocity with the time.

Mathematically distance covered = velocity × total time

                                                      S = v × t

                                                        = 660 miles/hour ×3.5 hours

                                                        = 2310 miles.

Hence, the total distance travelled by the airplane in 3.5 hour is 2310 miles.

A raft with the area A , thickness= h and the mass 600 kg, Floats in still water with 7 cm
elena55 [62]

<span>In this problem, we need to solve for Bubba’s mass. To do this, we let A be the area of the raft and set the weight of the displaced fluid with the raft alone as ρwAd1g and ρwAd2g with the person on the raft, </span>where ρw is the density of water, d1 = 7cm, and d2= 8.4 cm. Set the weight of displaced fluid equal to the weight of the floating objects to eliminate A and ρw then solve for m.

<span>ρwAd1g = Mg</span>

ρw<span>Ad2g = (M + m) g</span>

<span>d2∕d1 = (M + m)/g</span>

m = [(d2<span>∕d1)-1] M = [(8.4 cm/7.0 cm) - 1] (600 kg) =120 kg</span>

This means that Bubba’s mass is 120 kg.

What is an ion and how does an atom become both positive or negative ion?
Bess [88]

Answer:

An ion is an atom or group of atoms with a positive or negative charge. Ions form when atoms lose or gain electrons to obtain a full outer shell: metal atoms lose electrons to form positively charged ions non-metal atoms gain electrons to form negatively charged ions.
