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

How would the attractive force between two spheres change if the mass of one sphere was doubled?
Dominik [7]
The force of attraction between two objects can be illustrated using Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation.
The relation between the different parameters is shown in the attached image.

Now, from the relation, we can deduce that the force between the two objects is directly proportional to the masses of the two objects.

This means that, if the mass of one object is doubled, then the force between the two objects will also be doubled.

An airplane is heading due south at a speed of 690 km/h . A) If a wind begins blowing from the southwest at a speed of 90 km/h (
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:a) 629,5851 km/h in magnitude b)629,5851 km/h at 84,2 degrees from east pointing south direction or in vector form 626,6396 km/h south + 63,6396km/h  east. c) 16,5 km NE of the desired position

Explanation:

Since the plane is flying south at 690 km/h and the wind is blowing at assumed constant speed of 90 km/h from SW, we get a triangle relation where

 

see fig 1

Then we can decompose those 90 km/h into vectors, one north and one east, both of the same magnitude, since the angle is 45 degrees with respect to the east, that is direction norhteast or NE, then

90 km/h NE= 63,6396 km/h north + 63,6396 km/h east,

this because we have an isosceles triangle, then the cathetus length is  

hypotenuse/\sqrt{2}

using Pythagoras, here the hypotenuse is 90, then the cathetus are of length

90/\sqrt{2} km/h= 63,6396 km/h.  

Now the total speed of the plane is

690km/h south + 63,6396 km/h north +63,6396 km/h east,

this is 626,3604 km/h south + 63,6396 km/h east,  here north is as if we had -south.

then using again Pythagoras we get the magnitude of the total speed it is

\sqrt{626,3604 ^2+63,6396^2} km/h=629,5851km/h,

the direction is calculated with respect to the south using trigonometry, we know the

sin x= cathetus opposed / hypotenuse,

then

x= sin^{-1}'frac{63,6396}{629,5851}=5,801 degrees from South as reference (0 degrees) in East direction or as usual 84,2 degrees from east pointing south or in vector form

626,6396 km/h south + 63,6396km/h  east.

Finally since the detour is caused by the west speed component plus the slow down caused by the north component of the wind speed, we get

Xdetour{east}= 63,6396 km/h* (11 min* h)/(60 min)=11,6672 km=Xdetour{north} ,

since 11 min=11/60 hours=0.1833 hours.

Then the total detour from the expected position, the one it should have without the influence of the wind, we get  

Xdetour=[/tex]\sqrt{2*  11,6672x^{2} }[/tex]  = 16,5km at 45 degrees from east pointing north

The situation is sketched as follows  see fig 2
