Answer:

6m/s

Explanation:

A slower moving car is traveling behind a faster moving bus. The velocities of the two vehicles are: vCG = velocity of the Car relative to the Ground = +12 m/s vBG = velocity of the Bus relative to the Ground = +16 m/s A passenger on the bus gets up and walks toward the front of the bus with a velocity of vPB, where vPB = velocity of the Passenger relative to the Bus = +2 m/s What is vPC, the velocity of the Passenger relative to the Car?

When you are is in a car moving with 12m/s speed and then there is a bus moving with 16m/s in front of you. Of course, the bus is 4m/s faster than you. if a passenger in the bus stands and runs towards the front of the bus with a speed of 2m/s , he is 2m/s ahead +the 4m/s the bus was already ahead of you, mathematically

Vpg=speed of the passenger relative to the ground

Vpb=sped of the passenger relative to the bus

Vbc=speed of the bus relative to the car

Vbg=speed of the bus relative to the ground

Vpg=Vpb+Vbc

Vbc=Vbg+Vgc

so we can conclude that

Vpc=Ypb+Vbg+Vgc

Vpc=2+16-12

Ypc=6m/s

Which of the following statements are true? (There may be more than one correct choice.)
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

option (A)

Explanation:

According to the Archimede's principle, when a body s immersed partly or wholly in a liquid, it experiences an upward force which is called buoyant force. The buoyant force is equal to the loss in the weight of body.

The weight of liquid displaces by the body is equal to the loss in weight of body.

Thus, option (a) is true.

Place the following types of electromagnetic radiation in order from LOWEST energy
Alex

Placing the electromagnetic radiation in order from the lowest energy to the highest energy :  ( 2 ) C,A,B

<h3>Electromagnetic spectrum </h3>

In the electromagnetic spectrum the electromagnetic radiation with the shorter wavelength possess a higher energy while the electromagnetic radiation with a longer wavelength possess the lower energy.

The electromagnetic radiation as listed in the question with the longest wavelength is the radio waves therefore it possess the lowest energy while the radiation with the shortest wavelength is the gamma rays therefore it possess the highest energy.

Hence we can conclude that Placing the electromagnetic radiation in order from the lowest energy to the highest energy :  ( 2 ) C,A,B

I need help with question ii) Calculate the speed of these radio waves.
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

Speed = Wavelength x Wave Frequency. In this equation, wavelength is measured in meters and frequency is measured in hertz (Hz), or number of waves per second. Therefore, wave speed is given in meters per second, which is the SI unit for speed.

sasho [114]
<h2>The different forces acting on the ball while its in air</h2>

Amy throws a softball through the air. Applied, drag and gravitational forces are acting on the ball while it’s in the air. The softball experiences force as a result of Amy’s throw. As the ball moves, it experiences from the air it passes through.

It also experiences a downward pull because earth has the property to attract everything which is on the earth towards it. The ball is moving in the air but earth applies force on the ball to get back on the ground. Hence, in this way, gravitational force applies.

There is also a drag force which results due to friction that is present in the air. It resist to move ball in the air and there will also be applied force which is given by a person who throws by applying force.

An airplane travels at 300 mi/h south for 2.00 h and then at 250 mi/h north for 750 miles. what is the average speed for the tri
iren2701 [21]
<span>Th find the average speed of a trip we need to dived the total distance by the total time. Let's find the total distance d. d = (300 mi/h)(2.00 h) + 750 miles d = 600 miles + 750 miles d = 1350 miles The total distance is 1350 miles Let's find the total time t. t = 2.00 hours + (750 mi / 250 mi/h) t = 2.00 hours + 3.00 hours t = 5.00 hours The total time of the trip is 5.00 hours. We can find the average speed. d / t = 1350 miles / 5.00 hours d / t = 270 miles/ hour The average speed of the trip is 270 mi/h (Note that the direction does not matter when we find the average speed.)</span>
