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

To obtain the same resistance force, a greater force must be exerted in a machine of lower efficiency than in a machine
Sindrei [870]

Answer: True.

Explanation:

A resistance force is also known as friction. And the efficiency of a machine is affected by friction.

A machine of lower efficiency has higher magnitude of friction than a machine of higher efficiency.

Therefore, To obtain the same resistance force, a greater force must be exerted in a machine of lower efficiency than in a machine of higher efficiency. This is true

Which of the following is an example of Newton's second law of motion?
laiz [17]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Newton’s Second Law of Motion

Newton’s Second Law of Motion states that ‘when an object is acted on by an outside force, the mass of the object equals the strength of the force times the resulting acceleration’.

This can be demonstrated dropping a rock or and tissue at the same time from a ladder. They fall at an equal rate—their acceleration is constant due to the force of gravity acting on them.

The rock's impact will be a much greater force when it hits the ground, because of its greater mass. If you drop the two objects into a dish of water, you can see how different the force of impact for each object was, based on the splash made in the water by each one.

A flea walking along a ruler moves from the 45 cm mark to the 27 cm mark. It does this in 3 seconds. What is the speed? What is
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

Speed= 6cm/s and velocity= 6cm/s in the negative direction

Explanation:

the change in position is from 45cm to 27 cm (moving towards the negative x direction)

\Delta x = 45 cm - 27 cm = 18 cm

And the change in time:

\Delta t= 3 s

Now we must define the difference between speed and velocity:

Speed is a scalar quantity, which means that it is a number. Velocity ​​is also a number but you must also indicate the direction of the movement.

Thus, the speed is:

speed= \Delta x/ \Delta t = 18cm/3s=6cm/s

An the velocity is:

6cm/s in the negative direction

A merry-go-round with a rotational inertia of 600 kg m2 and a radius of 3.0 m is initially at rest. A 20 kg boy approaches the m
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

The velocity of the merry-go-round after the boy hops on the merry-go-round is 1.5 m/s

Explanation:

The rotational inertia of the merry-go-round = 600 kg·m²

The radius of the merry-go-round = 3.0 m

The mass of the boy = 20 kg

The speed with which the boy approaches the merry-go-round = 5.0 m/s

F_T \cdot r = I \cdot \alpha  = m \cdot r^2  \cdot \alpha

Where;

F_T = The tangential force

I =  The rotational inertia

m = The mass

α = The angular acceleration

r = The radius of the merry-go-round

For the merry go round, we have;

I_m \cdot \alpha_m  = I_m \cdot \dfrac{v_m}{r \cdot t}

I_m = The rotational inertia of the merry-go-round

\alpha _m = The angular acceleration of the merry-go-round

v _m = The linear velocity of the merry-go-round

t = The time of motion

For the boy, we have;

I_b \cdot \alpha_b  = m_b \cdot r^2  \cdot \dfrac{v_b}{r \cdot t}

Where;

I_b = The rotational inertia of the boy

\alpha _b = The angular acceleration of the boy

v _b = The linear velocity of the boy

t = The time of motion

When the boy jumps on the merry-go-round, we have;

I_m \cdot \dfrac{v_m}{r \cdot t} = m_b \cdot r^2  \cdot \dfrac{v_b}{r \cdot t}

Which gives;

v_m = \dfrac{m_b \cdot r^2  \cdot \dfrac{v_b}{r \cdot t} \cdot r \cdot t}{I_m} = \dfrac{m_b \cdot r^2  \cdot v_b}{I_m}

From which we have;

v_m =  \dfrac{20 \times 3^2  \times 5}{600} =  1.5

The velocity of the merry-go-round, v_m, after the boy hops on the merry-go-round = 1.5 m/s.

A car increases its speed from 4.20 m/s to 8.60 m/s over 3.20 seconds. What is the car’s acceleration?
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:1.375metre per second square

Explanation: acceleration=(final velocity-initial velocity)÷time

acceleration=(8.6-4.2)÷3.2

Acceleration=4.4÷3.2

Acceleration=1.375 metre per second square
