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.

Water falls without splashing at a rate of 0.200 L/s from a height of 3.60 m into a 0.730 kg bucket on a scale. If the bucket is

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

15.106 N

Explanation:

From the given information,

The weight of the bucket can be calculated as:

$W_b = m_bg = \\ \\ W_b = (0.730 \ kg) ( 9.80 \ m/s^2) \\ \\ W_b = 7.154 \ N$
