Answer:

<em>20 m/s in the same direction of the bus.</em>

Explanation:

<u>Relative Motion </u>

Objects movement is always related to some reference. If you are moving at a constant speed, all the objects moving with you seem to be at rest from your reference, but they are moving at the same speed as you by an external observer.

If we are riding on a bus at 10 m/s and throw a ball which we see moving at 10 m/s in our same direction, then an external observer (called Ophelia) will see the ball moving at our speed plus the relative speed with respect to us, that is, at 20 m/s in the same direction of the bus.

A bolt of lightning discharges 9.7 C in 8.9 x 10^-5 s. What is the average current during the discharge?
Anastaziya [24]

Answer: 1.089\times 10^5\ A

Explanation:

Given

Charge discharged Q=9.7\C

time taken t=8.9\times 10^{-5}\ s

Current is given as rate of change of discharge i.e.

\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{Q}{t}\\\\\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{9.7}{8.9\times 10^{-5}}\\\\\Rightarrow I=1.089\times 10^5\ A

Therefore, the average current is 1.089\times 10^5\ A

A passenger in a helicopter traveling upwards at 15 m/s accidentally drops a package out the window. If it takes 15 seconds to r
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

The helicopter was 1103.63 meters high when the package was dropped.

Explanation:

We consider positive speed as a downward movement

y: height (m)

t: time (s)

v₀: initial speed (m/s)

Δy = v₀t + \frac{1}{2}gt²

Δy= 15\frac{m}{s}×15 s + \frac{1}{2}×9.81\frac{m}{s^{2} }×(15 s)²

Δy= 1103.63 m

190 kg of water is to be raised by a water pump to a height of 25 meters from the bottom of a well in 60 seconds. What should be
ladessa [460]

Answer:

776.6 w

1.04 hp

Explanation:

given:

Mass, m = 190kg

height change, h = 25m

time elapsed, t = 60 s

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.81 m/s²

Potential energy required raising 190 kg of water to a height of 25m

= mgh

= 190 x 9.81 x 25

= 46,597.5 J

Power required in 60 s

= Energy required ÷ time elapsed

= 46,597.5 ÷ 60

= 776.6 Watts  (Use conversion 1 W = 0.00134102 hp)

= 776.6 w x 0.00134102 hp/w

= 1.04 hp
