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

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

5.2941176471 kg or 5294.1 grams

Explanation:

g.p.e= mgh

g.p.e/gh=m

180j/10×3.4= m

180/34= m

5.2941 kg= m

A man is sitting in the outfield bleachers watching a baseball game through binoculars. Which is MOST LIKELY true?
Anestetic [448]
Choice-A is the correct one. It doesn't say it, but it means he'll see the ball reach the catcher's mitt first BEFORE HE HEARS IT slap the mitt.

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy = 0.5(Mass)(Velocity2)

Kinetic energy= 0.5 × 10kg × (50m/s)2

Kinetic Energy = 5kg × 2500m/s

Kinetic energy = 125000 J ( Ans)

Why is it necessary that all three thermometers were at approximately the same distance from the light bulb
iris [78.8K]
I'm assuming it was to keep the data consistent? The further you are from a heat source the less heat will get to you as the temperature tries to reach equilibrium and the waves start to spread out, so you should keep everything the same distance to get consistent results. I don't have any information so this is just my assumption

3.<br> is the force on a dropped ball.<br> gravity<br> acceleration
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

Speeding up While Falling Down

Gravity is a force that pulls objects down toward the ground. When objects fall to the ground, gravity causes them to accelerate. Acceleration is a change in velocity, and velocity, in turn, is a measure of the speed and direction of motion.
