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

harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

w= 62.75 J

Explanation:

Given that

Force vector F= 5 x i + 4 y j

Space vector or displacement vector d= 5.01 i

We know that work (w)

w=∫ F.ds

w= ∫(5 x i + 4 y j) .dx            ( only object is moving in x- direction)

w=\int_{0}^{5.01}5xi.dxi

w=\int_{0}^{5.01}5x.dx

w=\left [\dfrac{5}{2}x^2\right ]_0^{5.01}

w= 2.5 x 5.01² J

w= 62.75 J

To get off a frozen lake, a 70 kg person removes his shoe of mass 0.175 kg and throws it horizontally away from the shore at a v
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

the person will be in the shore at 10.73 minutes after launch the shoe.

Explanation:

For this we will use the law of the lineal momentum.

L_i = L_f

Also,

L = MV

where M is de mass and V the velocity.

replacing,

M_i V_i = M_{fp}V_{fp} + M_{fz}V_{fz}

wher Mi y Vi are the initial mass and velocity, Mfp y Vfp are the final mass and velocity of the person and Mfz y Vfz are the final mass and velocity of the shoe.

so, we will take the direction where be launched the shoe as negative. then:

(70)(0) = (70-0.175)(V_fp) + (0.175)(-3.2m/s)

solving for V_fp,

V_fp = \frac{(3.2)(0.175)}{69.825}

V_fp = 0.008m/s

for know when the person will be in the shore we will use the rule of three as:

1 second -------------- 0.008m

t seconds-------------- 5.15m

solving for t,

t = 5.15m/0.008m

t = 643.75 seconds = 10.73 minutes
