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

If it is completely elastic, you can calculate the velocity of the second ball from the kinetic energy 
<span>v1 = velocity of #1 </span>
<span>v1' = velocity of #1 after collision </span>
<span>v2' = velocity of #2 after collision. </span>

<span>kinetic energy: v1^2 = v1' ^2 + v2' ^2 (1/2 and m cancel out) </span>

What is the new current?
nikdorinn [45]
Voltage = current x resistance
since R is doubled, current must reduce by half.
So,
new current = 120/2 = 60mA

Dylan has two cubes of iron. The larger cube has twice the mass of the smaller cube. He measures the smaller cube. Its mass is 2
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

The volume of the larger cube is 5.08 g/cm³.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of smaller cube = 20 g

Density of smaller cube \rho= 7.87 g/cm^2

Dylan has two cubes of iron.

The larger cube has twice the mass of the smaller cube.

M_{l}=2m_{s}

Density is same for both cubes because both cubes are same material.

The density is equal to the mass divided by the volume.

\rho=\dfrac{m}{V}

V=\dfrac{m}{\rho}

Where, V = volume

m = mass

\rho=density

We need to calculate the volume of smaller mass

The volume of smaller mass

V_{s}=\dfrac{m_{s}}{\rho_{s}}

V_{s}=\dfrac{20}{7.87}

V_{s}=2.54\ cm^3

Now, We need to calculate the volume of large cube

V_{l}=\dfrac{m_{l}}{\rho_{l}}

V_{l}=\dfrac{2\times20}{7.87}

V_{l}=5.08\ g/cm^3

Hence, The volume of the larger cube is 5.08 g/cm³.
