Answer:

Their relative speed is 44 m/s

Explanation:

* <em>Lets explain what is the relative speed</em>

<u><em>Relative motion</em></u> is the change in position with time of one object

compared to another object.

If objects moving in the <em>same direction</em> towards, or away from, each

other, then relative speed is ⇒ <em>fastest speed – slowest speed</em>

If objects moving in <em>opposite directions</em> towards, or away from, each

other, then relative speed is ⇒ <em>the sum of the two speeds together</em>

* Lets solve the problem

Two cars are travelling side by side down a straight road in opposite

directions.

Both cars are travelling at a speed of 22 m/s

The two cars are travelling in opposite direction, then the relative

speed is the sum of their speed together

They are travelling at the same speed 22 m/s.

Then their relative speed = 22 + 22= 44 m/s

* <em>Their relative speed is 44 m/s</em>

A horizontal force of 400 N is exerted on a 2.0-kg ball as it rotates (at
frutty [35]

Answer:

the speed of the ball is 10 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

magnitude of exerted force, F = 400 N

mass of the ball, m = 2 kg

radius of the circle, r = 0.5

The speed of the ball is calculated by applying centripetal force formula;

F = \frac{mv^2}{r} \\\\v^2 = \frac{Fr}{m}\\\\v = \sqrt{\frac{Fr}{m}}\\\\ v = \sqrt{\frac{400*0.5}{2}}\\\\v = 10 \ m/s

Therefore, the speed of the ball is 10 m/s

murzikaleks [220]
As long as all the waves stay in the same medium, the intensity of
any waves ... electromagnetic or mechanical ... decrease in proportion
to the square of the distance.

If the distance increases to 3 x the original distance, then the intensity
changes to  1/3² or 1/9 of the original intensity.

I suppose choice-'d' is the correct one, but I have to tell you that
the phrase "nine times as low" is mathematically meaningless,
and it really grinds my gears.

The turntable in a microwave oven has a moment of inertia of 0.039 kg⋅m2 and is rotating once every 4.4 s . Part A What is its k
gayaneshka [121]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Kinetic Energy, specifically, since it is a body with angular movement, the kinetic rotational energy. Recall that kinetic energy is defined as the work necessary to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to the indicated speed.

Mathematically it can be expressed as,

KE = \frac{1}{2} I\omega^2

Where

I = Moment of Inertia

\omega =Angular velocity

Our values are given as

I = 0.039kg\cdot m^2

A revolution is made every 4.4 seconds.

\theta = 1 rev \rightarrow 4.4s

\Rightarrow \omega = \frac{1rev}{4.4s}

If the angular velocity is equivalent to the displacement over the time it takes to perform it then

\omega = 0.2272rev/s(\frac{2\pi rad}{1rev})

\omega = 1.42rad/s

Replacing at our previous equation we have,

KE = \frac{1}{2} I\omega^2

KE = \frac{1}{2} (0.039)(1.42)^2

KE = 0.03993J

Therefore the kinetic energy is equal to 3.9*10^{-2}J
