A person is walking on a treadmill. The treadmill is moving backwards at a speed of 3.0 m/s. The person is moving forward relati

ve to the treadmill at 2.5 m/s. What is the person’s velocity relative to the ground?

Answer:

V = - 0.5[m/s]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we have to analyze it by means of relative speeds, we have a treadmill that moves at a speed of -3 [m/s], (the negative sign means that it moves in a sense opposite to that of the person). The person moves at a speed of 2.5 [m/s]

Therefore we have from the perspective of a person placed outside

- 3 + 2.5 = - 0.5 [m/s]

Note: This would physically look like the person retreating as he or she walks forward, should increase his or her speed to 3 [m/s] to balance the speed of the band and not get out of it.

How does electricity flow?
svp [43]
An electric current is said to exist when there is a net flow of electric charge through a region. In electric circuits this charge is often carried by electrons moving through a wire. It can also be carried by ions in an electrolyte, or by both ions and electrons such as in an ionized gas (plasma).

As water heats in a pot on a stove, it might produce some mist above its surface right before the water begins to roll. What is
mr_godi [17]
When a liquid is heated, the molecules gain kinetic energy. As the liquid begins to boil they have enough energy to break the intermolecular attractions between their neighbors. This happens first at the surface before the volume below has enough energy to boil. Thus you see high energy water molecules escaping from the surface as mist.

7. A rightward force is applied to a book in order to move it across a desk at
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

See the explanation below

Explanation:

In the attached image we can see the free body diagram and forces acting on the book.

Force F, which acts to the right, the friction force which acts in the opposite direction to the movement, i.e. to the left.

The force exerted by the weight of the book that is equal to the product of the mass of the book by the gravity of the book. The normal force that is equal in magnitude to the weight of the book but in the opposite direction.
