What is the force on a box that is being pushed to the right with 50n of force while, at the same time, being pushed to the left

with a 20n force?

I think the question meant to say net force on the box. Since force is a vector, the direction matters. 20N left is negated completely by the 50N right, which means the net force is 50N-20N to the right, 30N.

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
Vikki [24]

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 missile is moving 1350 m/s at a 25.0° angle. It needs to hit a target 23,500 m away in a 55.0° direction in 10.20 s. What is d
QveST [7]

Answer:

  The target's velocity is about 1320 m/s in the direction 265.7°.

Explanation:

In order for there to be a collision between missile and target, we must have ...

  (target starting position) + (target movement) = (missile movement)

assuming the missile starts from the origin of all measurements. The missile moves 10.2 seconds before impact, so moves a distance of ...

  (10.2 s)(1350 m/s) = 13,770 m

__

We are interested in the target movement, so we can solve for that:

  (target movement) = (missile movement) - (target starting position)

In terms of meters, this is ...

  (target movement) = 13770∠25° - 23500∠55° ≈ 13467.74∠-94.3°

The target covers this distance in the same 10.2 seconds before collision, so its speed is (13467.74 m)/(10.2 s) ≈ 1320.4 m/s.

As a positive angle, the target's direction is ...

  -94.3° +360° = 265.7°

The direction of the target's velocity is 265.7°.

_____

If you're calculating this by hand, there are a couple of ways you can do it. You can convert to rectangular coordinates and back (perhaps least confusing), or you can use the law of cosines to solve the triangle, then translate angles back to the x-y coordinate plane.

Using rectangular coordinates, we have ...

  13770∠25° = 13770(cos(25°), sin(25°)) ≈ (12479.9, 5819.45)

  23500∠55° = 23500(cos(55°), sin(55°)) ≈ (13479.0, 19250.1)

Then the difference is ...

  (12479.9, 5819.45) -(13479.0, 19250.1) ≈ (-999.188, -13430.6)

and the (3rd-quadrant) angle is ...

  target direction = arctan(-13430.6/-999.188) ≈ -94.3° = 265.7°

__

The target's speed is found by dividing the distance it covers by the time it takes.

  √(13430.6² +999.188²)/10.2 ≈ 1320.36 . . . m/s

Seven seconds after a brilliant flash of lightning, thunder shakes the house. How far was the lightning strike from the house? S
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

About two kilometers away

\rm distance=2.401\ km

Explanation:

Given:

The time gap between the light and sound to travel to the house, t=7\ s

<em>Since the clouds are formed in the troposphere region of the atmosphere which extends from 8 kilometers to 12 kilometers above the earth-surface and the velocity of light is 300000 kilometers per second so it is visible almost instantly, hence we neglect the time taken by the light to travel to the house from the clouds.</em>

<u>∴Distance between the lightning-strike and the house:</u>

\rm distance=v\times t

we have the speed of sound as: v=343\ m.s^{-1}

So,

\rm distance=343\times 7

\rm distance=2401\ m

\rm distance=2.401\ km

Why does damp soil help excess electrons move
Marina CMI [18]

Explanation:

  • Because where there is water, energy is conducted, and <u>moves </u>the electrons.
  • They also move excess electrons because pure water is a poor conductor
