You are in a speedboat on a river moving in the same direction as the current. The speedometer on the boat shows that its speed

is 20 km/h. However, a person on the shore measures the boat's speed as 23 km/h. How is this possible?

From the reference point of the river, the speed of the boat is 20 km/h. From the reference point of someone standing on the shore, the speed of the boat is the speed on the speedometer plus the downstream speed of the current.

a 1500 kg car traveling at 15 m/s to the south collides with a 4500 kg truck that is intially at rest at a spotlight. The car an

Answer:

3.75 m/s south

Explanation:

Momentum before collision = momentum after collision

m₁ u₁ + m₂ u₂ = m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂

Since the car and truck stick together, v₁ = v₂.

m₁ u₁ + m₂ u₂ = (m₁ + m₂) v

Given m₁ = 1500 kg, u₁ = -15 m/s, m₂ = 4500 kg, and u₂ = 0 m/s:

(1500 kg) (-15 m/s) + (4500 kg) (0 m/s) = (1500 kg + 4500 kg) v

-22500 kg m/s = 6000 kg v

v = -3.75 m/s

The final velocity is 3.75 m/s to the south.

If you don't wear a helmet and let's say you fell off your bike, you can severely injure your head! But if you DO wear a helmet and you fell off your bike, there's about I predict a 98% chance that you won't injure but sometimes it's 100%

hope this helps!<span />

Se necesita subir una carga de 500 kg (4900 N) a una altura de 1.5 m deslizándola sobre una rampa inclinada. ¿Qué longitud debe
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

4.22 m

Explanation:

Una rampa es una máquina que se utiliza para levantar un objeto con una fuerza menor a la que realmente necesitarías. Cuanto mayor sea la longitud de la rampa, menor será la magnitud de la fuerza necesaria para levantar el objeto.

Dado que:

altura de la rampa = 1.5 m, carga = 4900 N, fuerza aplicada = 1633.33 N.

La fórmula de la rampa se da como:

fuerza aplicada * longitud de la rampa = peso de la carga * altura de la rampa

1633.33 * longitud de la rampa = 4900 * 1.5

longitud de la rampa = 4900 * 1.5 / 1633.33

longitud de la rampa = 4.22 m
