Answer:

0 m/s

Explanation:

Let's take the direction in which the train is travelling as positive direction. Therefore:

- The velocity of the train with respect to earth is:

v_t = +15 m/s

- The ball is thrown with speed 15 m/s in the opposite direction, so in the frame of reference of the train, its velocity is

v_b = -15 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the baseball in the earth's reference frame will be the algebraic sum of these two velocities, so:

v_b' = v_t + v_b = +15 + (-15) = 0

3) How far will 20 N of force stretch a spring with a spring constant of 140 N/m?
muminat

Answer:

7 meters, 2.8 meters

Explanation:

work done (nm) = force (n) * distance (m)

140= 20 * m

140/20 = m

m=7 meters

140= 50 * m

140/50 = m

m= 2.8 meters

Answer:

a moving object will keep moving if not stopped

the sun being at the center of the solar system

Explanation:

Galileo is known for being the first person make a telescope, there fore being the first person to see that the sun is in the center of the solar system. he also came up with the theory that if something is pushed, it would keep moving until stopped by another force. For example, say you drop your pencil, it keeps falling until it hits the ground. That is exactly what Galileo did in his  Leaning Tower of Pisa experiment and found that theory to be true.

When a fork is placed in a hot piece of lasagna, thermal energy is transferred up the fork by...
Gnom [1K]
Because it's placed in the lasagna, the thermal energy is transferred by conduction. Remember, convection is transfer of heat through fluids (liquids and gases), and radiation is just transfer of heat through air.
