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>

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

The velocity is 60 km/hr.

Explanation:

<h3><u>Given:</u></h3>

Displacement (d) = 480 km = 48000 m

Time (t) = 8 Hours = 480 minute

Velocity (v) = ?

Now,

Velocity = Displacement ÷ Time

v = d/t

v = 480/8

v = 60 km/hr

Thus, The velocity is 60 km/hr.

As a laudably skeptical physics student, you want to test Coulomb's law. For this purpose, you set up a measurement in which a p
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

charge, q = 1.6 x 10^-19 C

distance, r = 911 nm = 911 x 10^-9 m

The Coulomb's force is given by

F=\frac{Kq_{1}q_{2}}{r^{2}}

F=\frac{9\times 10^{9}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{\left (911\times 10^{-9}  \right )^2}

F = 2.78 x 10^-16 N

The force between the electron and the proton is 2.78 x 10^-16 N.

Strontium−90 is one of the products of the fission of uranium−235. This strontium isotope is radioactive, with a half-life of 28
Ludmilka [50]

Answer : The time passed in years is 20.7 years.

Explanation :

Half-life = 28.1 years

First we have to calculate the rate constant, we use the formula :

k=\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}

k=\frac{0.693}{28.1\text{ years}}

k=2.47\times 10^{-2}\text{ years}^{-1}

Now we have to calculate the time passed.

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant  = 2.47\times 10^{-2}\text{ years}^{-1}

t = time passed by the sample  = ?

a = initial amount of the reactant  = 1.00 g

a - x = amount left after decay process = 0.600 g

Now put all the given values in above equation, we get

t=\frac{2.303}{2.47\times 10^{-2}}\log\frac{1.00}{0.600}

t=20.7\text{ years}

Therefore, the time passed in years is 20.7 years.
