Answer:

53 km/h

Explanation:

Let's take as positive direction the direction in which the van is moving. In this case, we can write as follows:

- Velocity of the van relative to the road: v_v = 55 km/h

- Velocity of the paper airplane relative to the van: v_a = -2 km/h (with a negative sign since it is moving into opposite direction)

Therefore, the velocity of the paper airplane relative to the road (stationary observer) will be

v=v_v + v_a = 55 km/h - 2 km/h = 53 km/h

<span>A van is traveling on a road at a speed of 55 km/h relative to a
stationary observer on the side of the road. A girl sitting near the
driver of the van throws a paper airplane to a boy at the back of the
van with a speed of 2 km/h relative to the girl, the boy, and the van.

The speed of the paper airplane, relative to the same stationary observer
on the side of the road, is (55 - 2) = 53 km/h.  No rounding is necessary.</span>

How does kinect energy affect the stopping distance of a vehicle traveling at 30 mph compared to the same vehicle traveling at 6
mote1985 [20]

If it is the same vehicle, then the 60mph vehicle has more kinetic energy since it is moving faster. Therefore, it requires more energy to stop, and if it is the same car with the same beak system, the braking distance of the 30mph car will be significantly shorter than the 60mph car.

geniusboy [140]

Answer:

option E

Explanation:

the correct answer is option E

the direction of magnetic field will be found out with the help of right hand rule.

Put you palm in the direction of electric field and curl your finger in the direction of magnetic field which east direction.

 now, the direction shown by the thumb will be the direction of magnetic field  which comes out to be toward South direction.

torisob [31]

The temperature of an air parcel and the kinetic energy of an air parcel are directly related. this means that as the temperature of the air parcel increases, the kinetic energy increases.

<h3>What is temperature?</h3>

Temperature is the measure of degree of hotness or coldness of a body.

Temperature is also the measure of the average kinetic energy of a system.

When the heat is applied to body, its temperature increases as the body gains heat.

Thus, the temperature of an air parcel and the kinetic energy of an air parcel are directly related. this means that as the temperature of the air parcel increases, the kinetic energy increases.
