Answer:
Vr = 20 [km/h]
Explanation:
In order to solve this problem, we have to add the relative velocities. We must remember that velocity is a vector, therefore it has magnitude and direction. We will take the sea as the reference measurement level.
Let's take the direction of the ship as positive. Therefore the boy moves in the opposite direction (Negative) to the reference level (the sea).
Time taken by the water balloon to reach the bottom will be given as
here we know that
now by the above formula
now in the same time interval we can say the distance moved by it will be
so it will fall at a distance 15.7 m from its initial position
The gravitational force acting on the man is 800 N towards the Earth's centre
Explanation:
The weight of an object on the Earth is exactly the gravitational force exerted by the Earth on the object.
The gravitational force exerted by the Earth on an object located at the Earth's surface is given by:
where
G is the gravitational constant
M is the Earth's mass
m is the mass of the object
R is the radius of the Earth
And the direction of the force is towards the Earth's centre.
Since G, M and R are constant, they are grouped into a single constant called g, acceleration of gravity:
therefore the gravitational force can be rewritten as
And this is the usual equation that we use to calculate the weight of an object.
Therefore, weight and gravitational force acting on an object on Earth are the same thing: so, the gravitational force acting on the man is equal to his weight, 800 N, and it acts towards the Earth's center.
