A person in the back of a pick-up moving at 20 m/s relative to the Earth, throws a baseball with a speed of 15 m/s in a directio

n opposite the motion of the truck (consider the direction of the truck’s velocity to be positive). What is the velocity of the ball relative to the Earth as it leaves the thrower’s hand?

Answer:

This is known as a Galilean transformation where

V' = V - U

Where the primed frame is the Earth frame and the unprimed frame is the frame moving with respect to the moving frame

V - speed of object in the unprimed frame

U - speed of primed frame with respect to the unprimed frame

Here we have:

V = -15 m/s        speed of ball in the moving frame (the truck)

U =  -20 m/s        speed of primed (rest) frame with respect to moving frame

So  V' = -15 - (-20) = 5 m/s

It may help if you draw a vector representing the moving frame and then add

a vector representing the speed of the ball in the moving frame.

Which is an example of a covalent bond?
velikii [3]
The correct answer is definitely C. There are less than 16 valence electrons in 2 chlorine atoms, but they form a stable bond because a covalent bond should involve <span>a pair of electrons between atoms in a molecule. I thing it's pretty clear. Regards!</span>

Calculate the magnitude and direction of the electric field 2.0 m from a long wire that is charged uniformly at λ = 4.0 × 10-6 C
Len [333]

Answer: 71.93 *10^3 N/C

Explanation: In order to calculate the electric field from long wire we have to use the Gaussian law, this is:

∫E*dr=Q inside/εo  Q inside is given by: λ*L then,

E*2*π*r*L=λ*L/εo

E= λ/(2*π*εo*r)= 4* 10^-6/(2*3.1415*8.85*10^-12*2 )= 71.93 * 10^3 N/C

In September 2016 you purchased a 125 shares of Grainger stock for $224.84. It is now September 2019 and Grainger stock is curre
Temka [501]

Answer:

Gain in capital = $ 70.72

Explanation:

Given:

- The price of stocks when purchased P_o = $ 224.84

- The price of stocks when sold P_s = $ 295.56

Find:

what would be your capital gain (loss) on the sale, ignoring commissions

Solution:

- The capital gain or loss on the selling of stocks stems from the difference of buying and selling value of stocks. The original price of stock was P_o and the selling price would be P_s. The difference would be:

                             capital gain = P_s - P_o

                             capital gain =  $295.56 - $224.84

                             capital gain = $ 70.72

- Hence, there would be a gain in capital if sold today for about $ 70.72.

two horses are pulling a 325 kg wagon, initially at rest. The horses exert 250 N and 178 N forward forces, respectively. Ignorin
Dovator [93]

Answer:

AFter 3.5 s, the wagon is moving at:   4.62\,\,\frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

Let's start by finding first the net force on the wagon, and from there the wagon's acceleration (using Newton's 2nd Law):

Net force = 250 N + 178 N = 428 N

Therefore, the acceleration from Newton's 2nd Law is:

F=m\,*\,a\\a = \frac{F}{m} \\a= \frac{428}{325}\, \frac{m}{s^2} \\a\approx 1.32 \,\,\frac{m}{s^2}

So now we apply this acceleration to the kinematic expression for velocity in an object moving under constant acceleration:

v_f=v_i+a\,*\,t\\v_f=0+1.32\,*\,3.5\,\,\frac{m}{s} \\v_f=4.62\,\,\frac{m}{s}
