O'Malley is riding on a bus which is moving at 10 m/s, and he throws a ball which he observes to be moving at 10 m/s relative to

him in the direction of motion of the bus. What speed will Ophelia observe the ball to have?

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 train of 150 m length is going toward north direction at a speed of 10 ms–1 and a parrot is flying towards south direction par
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

10ms

Explanation:

The bird must travel the length of the train (150m), with a combined speed of 15m/s this means it will take 10s to cross an accumulated 150ms.

Is F=mxa expressed in equation in newtons second law of motion?
kow [346]
Yes. That equation is exactly how we write Newton's second law nowadays. Note that the 'x' just means 'times'. It's not another variable. The equation could be written as simply. F = m a .

Samantha wants to determine the force she feels in her car as she's going around a corner. What would be some of the assumptions
dalvyx [7]

To determine the Force it is necessary that Samantha starts from the consideration of the dynamic balance between the forces acting on the car. For this, the centripetal force must be equal to the friction force (otherwise the car would lose contact with the ground), the expression of these two forces would be

F_f = F_c

\mu_k mg = \frac{mv^2}{r}

Here,

\mu_k = Coefficient of kinematic friction

m = mass

g = Acceleration due to gravity

v = Velocity

r = Radius

From this relationship then she should assume the following

1) The car travels at a constant speed

2) There is indeed that frictional force between the car and the road

3) There is no loss of mass during displacement

4) The centripetal force must be equal to the frictional force so that the car does not lose contact or slip

5) The radius must be constant
