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 car with a constant velocity of 22 m/s is driven for 6.8 s. How far did it travel? (V =A d/AT)
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer: 150 m

Explanation:

velocity = 22 m/s

t = 6.8 s

velocity = \frac{distance}{time}

distance = velocity × time

= 22 × 6.8

= 149.6 m

≈ 150 m

A heat engine does 200 j of work per cycle while exhausting 600 j of heat to the cold reservoir. what is the engine's thermal ef
AveGali [126]
The thermal efficiency of an engine is
\eta= \frac{W}{Q}
where
W is the work done by the engine
Q is the heat absorbed by the engine to do the work

In this problem, the work done by the engine is W=200 J, while the heat exhausted is Q=600 J, so the efficiency of the machine is
\eta= \frac{W}{Q}= \frac{200 J}{600 J}=0.33 = 33 \%

To lift a load of 100 kg a distance of 1 m an effort of 25 kg must be applied over an inclined plane of length 4 m. What must be
andreyandreev [35.5K]
Work = force * distance.
We must produce twice as much energy as we are lifting the weight twice as high.
But we are not increasing the force so we must increase the length of the ramp ( distance ) instead.
The new length will be twice as great as the previous length.
So 8 metres is required. 


25 kg * 8 m = work = 100 kg * 2 m

A 1.5m wire carries a 7 A current when a potential difference of 68 V is applied. What is the resistance of the wire?
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Working...

length of wire L = 1.5 m

current I = 7 A

potential difference V = 68 Volt

According to Ohm's Law

V = IR

R = V/I

R = 68/7

R = 9.7 Ω

Two protons are 9.261 fm apart. (1 fm= 1 femtometer = 1 x 10^-15 m.) What is the ratio of the electric force to the gravitationa
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

1.24\times 10^{36}

Explanation:

q = magnitude of charge on each proton = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

m = mass of each proton = 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ kg

r = distance between the two protons = 1 x 10⁻¹⁵ m

Electric force between the two protons is given as

F_{e} = \frac{kq^{2}}{r^{2}}

F_{e} = \frac{(9\times 10^{9})(1.6\times 10^{-19})^{2}}{(1\times 10^{-15})^{2}}

F_{e} = 230.4 N

Gravitational force between the two protons is given as

F_{g} = \frac{Gm^{2}}{r^{2}}

F_{g} = \frac{(6.67\times 10^{-11})(1.67\times 10^{-27})^{2}}{(1\times 10^{-15})^{2}}

F_{g} = 1.86\times 10^{-34} N

Ratio is given as

Ratio =\frac{F_{e}}{F_{g}}

Ratio =\frac{230.4}{1.86\times 10^{-34}}

Ratio = 1.24\times 10^{36}
