Answer:

With respect to stationary observer the velocity of man is 0.3 m/s towards South

Explanation:

As we know that here man is standing still on the moving walkway

so here we can say that velocity of man with respect to walkway is zero

\vec v_{mw} = 0

now as per relative velocity concept we know

\vec v_{mw} = \vec v_m - \vec v_w

here we know

\vec v_m = velocity of man with respect to stationary observer

\vec v_w = velocity of walkway

now from above equation we have

\vec v_m = \vec v_{mw} + \vec v_w

now plug in all values in it

\vec v_m = 0 + 0.3 m/s = 0.3 m/s towards South

A closed system consisting of 2 lb of a gas undergoes a process during which the relation between pressure and volume is pVn = c
vazorg [7]

Answer:

V1=<u>2.5ft3</u>

<u>V2=1ft3</u>

n=1.51

Explanation:

PART A:

the volume of each state is obtained by multiplying the mass by the specific volume in each state

V=volume

v=especific volume

m=mass

V=mv

state 1

V1=m.v1

V1=2lb*1.25ft3/lb=<u>2.5ft3</u>

state 2

V2=m.v2

V2=2lb*0.5ft3/lb=  <u> 1ft3</u>

PART B:

since the PV ^ n is constant we can equal the equations of state 1 and state 2

P1V1^n=P2V2^n

P1/P2=(V2/V1)^n

ln(P1/P2)=n . ln (V2/V1)

n=ln(P1/P2)/ ln (V2/V1)

n=ln(15/60)/ ln (1/2.5)

n=1.51

Calculate the pressure exerted on the heel of a boy’s foot if the boy weighs 80 N and he lands on one heel,which has an area of
cricket20 [7]

Pressure at a given surface is given as ratio of normal force and area

so here force due to heel of the shoes is given as 80 N

and the area of the heel is given as 16 cm^2

so we can say

P = \frac{F}{A}

here we have

F = 80 N

A = 16 cm^2 = 16 * 10^{-4} m^2

P = \frac{80}{16 * 10^{-4}}

P = 5 * 10^4 N/m^2

so pressure at the surface due to its heel will be 5 * 10^4 N/m^2

What force is required to cause a 5 kg bowling ball to accelerate at 4 m/s2​
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

20 N

Explanation:

By Newton's 2nd law,

The rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the unbalance force applied on the object,

By that you can get the equation,

F = ma

  = 5 × 4 = 20 N
