A moving walkway has a speed of 0.9 m/s to the east. A stationary observer sees a man walking on the walkway with a velocity of

1.1 m/s to the east. What is the man's velocity relative to the moving walkway?

Since the man and the walkway has velocity (which is a vector) moving in the same direction, who would add the velocities together.

That means the relative velocity would be 2 m/s to the East

If you picture it in your mind, imagine walking down an escalator, you feel like you're moving faster than you really are.

In a different example, if the man was moving 0.9 m/s to the West, they are moving in opposite directions, which means you would subtract the 2 velocities.

A horizontal force of 750 N is needed to overcome the force of static friction between a level floor and a 250-kg crate. What is
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

The acceleration of the crate is 1.8 m/s² so the answer is a.

Explanation:

The very first thing you must do when solving this problem is to draw a free body diagram. (The body diagram is attached to this answer)

So once we got the free body diagram, we can analyze it and build our sum of forces in the x and y directions. Notice that according to the diagram, there are 4 forces to this problem, Normal (N), Weight (W), kinetic friction (fk) and the 750N force.

As one may see in the free body diagram, two of the forces are vertical forces: N and W, so we can use them to build a sum of forces:

Starting with the sum of forces in the y-direction, we get:

ΣF_{y}=0

We set the sum equal to zero because there is no movement in the y-direction, so the system is in vertical equilibrium.

so the sum will be:

N-W=0

when solving for N we get that:

N=W

where W is found by multiplying the mass of the crate by the acceleration of gravity:

N=250kg*9.8m/s²

N=2450N

Once we found the normal force, we can use it to find the kinetic friction which is given by the following formula:

f_{k}=Nμ

where μ is the kinetic friction coefficient.

So we get that the kinetic friction is:

f_{k}=2450N*0.12

so

f_{k}=294

With this information we can go ahead and find the sum of horizontal forces:

ΣF_{x}=ma

In this case the sum is equal to mass times acceleration because the crate is moving horizontally due to the action of a force, so it will have an acceleration.

so the sum of forces look like this:

750N-f_{k}=ma

so

750N-294N=(250kg)a

when solving for a we get:

a=\frac{759N-294N}{250kg}\\ \\a=1.8m/s^{2}

so the crate's acceleration is 1.82m/s².

The colour of star depend on its temperature, why?​
taurus [48]

<em>Another key factor that determines a star's colour is its temperature. As stars become hotter, the overall radiated energy increases, and the peak of the curve changes to shorter wavelengths. To put it another way, when a star heats up, the light it produces moves toward the blue end of the spectrum.</em>

What is the speed of a wave in (m/s) with a 5 meter wavelength and a period of 20 seconds?
arlik [135]

Answer: 0.25 m/s

Explanation:  Speed = wavelengt · frequency  

v = λf   and frequency is 1/period  f = 1/T

Then v = λ/T = 5 m / 20 s = 0.25 m/s
