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.

Answer:

Explanation:

Electron's kinetic energy = 2 eV

= 2 x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

1/2 m v² = 3.2 x 10⁻¹⁹

1/2 x 9.1 x 10⁻³¹ x v² = 3.2 x 10⁻¹⁹

v² = .703 x 10¹²

v = .8385 x 10⁶ m/s

Electrons revolve in a circular orbit when forced to travel in a magnetic field whose radius can be expressed as follows

r = mv / Bq

where m , v and q are mass , velocity and charge of electron .

here given magnetic field B = 90 mT

= 90 x 10⁻³ T

Putting these values in the expression above

r =  mv / Bq

= \frac{9\times10^{-31}\times.8385\times10^6}{90\times10^{-3}\times1.6\times10^{-19}}

= .052 mm.

aksik [14]

Answer:

2.77 * 10^5 m/s

Explanation:

Let us recall that kinetic energy is given by 1/2 mv^2

Where;

m = mass of the body

v = velocity of the body

In this case,

m = 3.38 * 10^31 kg

KE= 1.30 * 10^42 J

KE = 1/2 mv^2

v = √2KE/m

v = √2 * 1.30 * 10^42/3.38 * 10^31

v = √7.69 * 10^10

v = 2.77 * 10^5 m/s

When an object is in circular motion it is constantly changing its velocity.
EleoNora [17]

Its tangential speed is constant although its velocity is changing. As the object changes direction, it results in a changing of positive and negative signs of the velocity. Although, the magnitude of the velocity (speed) is not changing.

A cart with mass m vibrating at the end of a spring has an extra block added to it when its displacement is x=+A. What should th
Pavel [41]

Answer:

The block's mass should be 3m

Explanation:

Given:

Cart with mass m

From the conservation of energy before mass is added,

  \frac{1}{2} mv^{2} = \frac{1}{2} kA^{2}

Where A = amplitude of spring mass system, k = spring constant

  A = v\sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }

Now new mass M is added to the system,

   \frac{1}{2} (m +M ) v^{2}  = \frac{1}{2}  k A^{2}

  A = v \sqrt{\frac{m +M }{k} }

Here, given in question frequency is reduced to half so we can write,

   f' = \frac{f}{2}

Where f = frequency of system before mass is added, f' = frequency of system after mass is added.

        \omega ' = \frac{\omega}{2}

\sqrt{\frac{k}{m +M} }  = \frac{\sqrt{\frac{k}{m} } }{2}

   \frac{k}{m +M } = \frac{k}{4m}

   M = 3m

Therefore, the block's mass should be 3m
