Two soccer players, mary and jane, begin running from approximately the same point at the same time. mary runs in an easterly di
rection at 3.59 m/s, while jane takes off in a direction 42.8 ◦ north of east at 4.67 m/s. what is the magnitude of the velocity of jane relative to mary?
1 answer:
As you illustrate the problem, you may come up with the same diagram as the one shown in the attached picture. The relative velocity is the linear velocity between the two velocities. This is calculated by simply finding the difference of their velocities. Since, the velocity is with respect to Jane relative to Mary, the solution is as follows:
Relative velocity = Velocity of Jane - Velocity of Mary
Relative Velocity = 4.67 m/s - 3.59 m/s = 1.08 m/s
Relative velocity = Velocity of Jane - Velocity of Mary
Relative Velocity = 4.67 m/s - 3.59 m/s = 1.08 m/s

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that,
The coil springs on a car's suspension have a value of k = 64000 N/m
When the car strikes a bump the springs briefly compress by 5.0 cm (.05 m)
By compressing the spring, we apply a force over a distance
As a result we have done work on the spring
Doing work means that we have transferred energy to spring in form of elastic potential
Therefore,
k = 64000 N/m
x = 0.05m
<em><u>The elastic potential energy is given as:</u></em>
Where, "k" is the spring constant and "x" is the displacement
Thus 80 joule is momentarily stored in each spring
