The apparent velocity is B) 48 m/s north

Explanation:

Here we have a problem of relativity of velocities.

In fact, the train is travelling north at a speed of

$v_t = 50 m/s$

where this velocity is measured with respect to the ground.

At the same time, a passenger on the train is walking towards the rear (so, south) at a velocity of

$v'=2 m/s$

where this velocity is measured with respect to the train, which is in motion in the opposite direction.

Therefore, the apparent velocity of the passenger with respect to an observer standing on the ground is:

$v=V_t - v' = 50 - 2 = 48 m/s$

And the direction is north, since this number is positive.

18. Write conversion factors (as ratios) for the number of:

Romashka [77]

Answer:

Conversion tables show:

1 m = 1.09361 yds

1 Lit = .26418 gal = 1.05672 qt or 1 qt = .944632 Lit

1 lb = .45359 kg = 2.2046 Lbs / Kg

So X yds = X m * 1.09361 yds / m = 1.09361 * X yds

Likewise X Lit = X qt / 1.05672 qt/ Lit = X / 1.05672 Lit = .94632 X Lit

So X Lbs = X kg * 2.2046 Lbs / Kg = 2.2046 Lbs

A baseball is thrown with an initial velocity of 45.4 m/s at an angle of 31.2 ∘ .

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

V (initial vertical velocity) = 45.4 sin 31.2 = 23.52 m/s

1/2 m V^2 = m g h conservation of energy

h = V^2 / (2 g) = 23.52^2 / 19.6 = 28.2 m max height

Check:

t = 28.2 / 9.8 = 2.88 sec time to reach max height

h = 23.52 * 2.88 - 1/2 g 2.88^2 = 27.1 m

An oil droplet is levitated and held at rest in a region where the electric field is 1.4x104 N/C directed vertically downwards.

Ratling [72]

W = m g weight of drop

W = q E

m = q E / g = = 3 e E / g

m = 3 * 1.6E-19 * 1.4E4 / 9.8 = 6.96E-16 kg

A fixed system of charges exerts a force of magnitude 18 n on a 9.0 c charge. the 9.0 c charge is replaced with a 4.0 c charge.

laila [671]

According to the law of gravitational force:
the force between any two objects is directly proportional to the masses of the objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between these two objects.

Based on this:
if a 9 c charge is replaced with a 4 c charge while the distance between the charges is kept constant:
18/9 = F/4
2 = F/4
F = 2 x 4 = 8

Question 4 of 10

Habitat fragmentation is a cost of urban development.

Option: A

Explanation:

Though from the view point or perspective of up gradation and development urban development is much needed but in cost of habitat fragmentation which feels very bitter. As habitat fragmentation leads to the loss of habitat, disruption of ecological cycle and environmental equilibrium.

Actually in the name of urban development we the human use our bread giver environment in a wrong way which causes natural disasters in long run. Animals become endangered , vulnerable and extinct with passage of time. Because they forced to enter into human settlements.
