The climber move 0.19 m/s  faster than surfer on the nearby beach.

Since both the person are on the earth, and moves with the constant angular velocity of earth, however there linear velocity is different.

Number of seconds in a day, t=24*60*60=86400 sec

The linear speed on the beach is calculated as

V1=\frac{2πr}{t}

Here, t is the time

Plugging the values in the above equation

V1=\frac{2π*6.4*10^6}{86400}=465.421 m/s

Velocity on the mountain is calculated as

V2=\frac{2π(r+h)}{t}

Plugging the values in the above equation

V2=\frac{2π(6.4*10^6+2600}{86400}=465.61 m/s

Therefore person on the mountain moves faster than the person on the beach by 465.61-465.421=0.19 m/s

Puck 1 (0.5 kg) travels with velocity 20 m/s to the right when it collides with puck 2 (2 kg) which is initially at rest. After
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

The final velocity of puck 2 is 6 m/s to the right

Explanation:

Given;

mass of puck 1, m₁ = 0.5 kg

mass of puck 2, m₂ = 2 kg

initial velocity of puck 1, u₁ = 20 m/s

initial velocity of puck 1, u₂ = 0

final velocity of puck 1, v₁ = -4 m/s

Let the final velocity of puck 2 = v₂

Applying the principle of conservation linear momentum, total momentum before collision is equal to total momentum after collision.

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

(0.5 x 20) + (2 x 0) = (0.5 x -4) + 2v₂

10 = -2 + 2v₂

2v₂ = 12

v₂ = 12/2

v₂ = 6 m/s

This positive final velocity of puck 2, indicates that it moved to the right.

The mass of a sample of sodium bicarbonate is 2. 1 kilograms (kg). There are 1,000 grams (g) in 1 kg, and 1 Times. 109 nanograms
slega [8]

2.1 kg of sodium bicarbonate is equal to the 2.1 x 10¹² ng of sample. Option D is correct.

Mass is the quantity of the substance in the body or object. The SI unit of mass is Kilogram.

There are other units of measure,

  • Milligram: 1 g is equal to the \bold {10^3 \ mg}
  • Micro-gram: 1 g is equal to \bold {10^{6} \ \mu g}
  • Nano-gram: 1 g is  is equal to\bold {10^{9} \ ng}

First convert kg to gram,

Since, 1 Kg = 1000 g

2.1 kg = grams of sample

So,

Do the cross multiplication,

\rm mass\ of\ sample = \dfrac {2.1\ kg \times  1000\ g }{ 1 kg}\\\\\rm mass\ of\ sample =2100 g

Now, convert 2100 g to nano-grams

Since, 1 g = 1 x 10⁹ ng

2100 g = ng of sample

So,

Do the cross multiplication,

\rm mass\ of\ sample  = \dfrac {2100 g \times  1 \times  10^9 ng }{1\ g}\\\\\rm mass\ of\ sample  = 2.1 \times 10^1^2 ng

Therefore, 2.1 kg of  sodium bicarbonate is equal to the 2.1 x 10¹² ng of sample.

Two trains, each having a speed of 28 km/h, are headed at each other on the same straight track. A bird that can fly 60 km/h fli
Semenov [28]

Answer:

The value is D =  70.71 \ km

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The speed of each train is v =  28 \  km/h

The speed of the bird is v_1 =  60 \  km/h

The distance between the trains is d =  66 \  km

Generally the time taken before the collision occurs is mathematically represented as

t =  \frac{d}{2 * v}

=> t =  \frac{66 }{2 *  28}

=> t = 1.18 \  h

The total distance covered by the bird is mathematically represented as

D =  v_1 *  t

=>   D =  60 * 1.18

=>   D =  70.71 \ km
