You are on a train moving east at 100 meters/second. You run down the aisle at 10 meters/second. If you are running in the same

direction as the train (east), what is your speed with respect to the ground?

Answer:

I'm pretty sure your speed relative to the ground would be 110 meters per second. However that is just a guess and I'm not 100% sure.

In an experiment, a researcher can make claims about causation

Yakvenalex [24]

<span>In an experiment, a researcher can make claims about causation if the independent variable changes because of changes made to the dependent variable. Causation works on cause and effect, so the changed independent variable is the cause and the changed dependent variable is the effect. In an experiment the independent variable is changed to determine the dependent variables value, so the two are directly related.</span>

Two particles, each of mass m, are initially at rest very far apart.Obtain an expression for their relative speed of approach at

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

$|\Delta v |=\sqrt{\frac{4Gm}{d} }$

Explanation:

Consider two particles are initially at rest.

Therefore,

the kinetic energy of the particles is zero.

That initial K.E. = 0

The relative velocity with which both the particles are approaching each other is Δv and their reduced masses are

$\mu= \frac{m_1m_2}{m_1+m_2}$

now, since both the masses have mass m

therefore,

$\mu= \frac{m^2}{2m}$

= m/2

The final K.E. of the particles is

$KE_{final}=\frac{1}{2}\times \mu\times \Delta v^2$

Distance between two particles is d and the gravitational potential energy between them is given by

$PE_{Gravitational}= \frac{Gmm}{d}$

By law of conservation of energy we have

$KE_{initial}+KE_{final}= PE_{gravitaional}$

Now plugging the values we get

$0+\frac{1}{2}\frac{m}{2}\Delta v^2= -\frac{Gmm}{d}$

$|\Delta v |=\sqrt{\frac{4Gm}{d} }$

$=\sqrt{\frac{Gm}{d} }$

This the required relation between G,m and d
