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.

what will the stopping distance be a a 3000-kg car if -3000N of force are applied when the car is traveling 10 m/s
Inga [223]

Answer:

50 m

Explanation:

Acceleration= force/mass

3000/3000=1m/s^-2

Applying equation of motion:

V^2=U^2+2as; V is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration and s is the distance covered.

0=10^2 -2*1s;

Solve for s

falling objects drop with an average acceleration of 9.8m/sec/sec. if an object falls from a tall building how long will it take
sveta [45]

Answer:

5 seconds

Explanation:

<em>Acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) ÷ time</em>

<em>a =  \frac{v - u}{t}</em>

<em>9.8 =  \frac{49 - 0}{t}</em>

<em>9.8 =  \frac{49}{t}</em>

<em>9.8t = 49</em>

<em>t =  \frac{49}{9.8}</em>

<em>t = 5</em>

the temperature of a 2.0-kg increases by 5*c when 2,000 J of thermal energy are added to the block. What is the specific heat of
nata0808 [166]
To calculate the specific heat capacity of an object or substance, we can use the formula

c = E / m△T

Where
c as the specific heat capacity,
E as the energy applied (assume no heat loss to surroundings),
m as mass and
△T as the energy change.

Now just substitute the numbers given into the equation.

c = 2000 / 2 x 5
c = 2000/ 10
c = 200

Therefore we can conclude that the specific heat capacity of the block is 200 Jkg^-1°C^-1

After a match has burned which of these is not proof that a chemical reaction occurred?
mixas84 [53]
In my estimation I would say C, I was leaning towards A, but I believe that would merely be "incomplete combustion." I hope this was semi-helpful!
