Answer:

Option C

16 Km/h

Explanation:

Dana is moving in opposite direction compared to the train.If we denote w-velocity of train with respect to ground and u- velocity of passenger with respect to train and v-velocity of passenger we can using classical mechanics claim that v = w-u

v=20-4=16 km/h

Why VR of second class lever is greater than 1?<br><br><br><br><br>​
Olin [163]

Second class lever has mechanical advantage always more than one as load is in between fulcrum and effort making the effort arm longer than the load arm. It multiplies force. ... It does not multiply force but changes the direction of force.

The term Freebody diagram refer to the diagram that could be drawn to show the forces that act on an object.

<h3>What is a freebody diagram?</h3>

The term Freebody diagram refer to the diagram that could be drawn to show the forces that act on an object. We must note that the forces that act on a body determine the direction in which the body moves.

This is because, force is a  vector quantity. As such the magnitude and direction of a force are both responsible when we are trying to determine the force that acts on the object.

Attached is the image of the upward motion of  a vector that shows the forces that act on the vector. This is what we refer to as a Freebody diagram.

How to find out the heat capacity of a material?​
DochEvi [55]

\huge\underline{\underline{\boxed{\mathbb {EXPLANATION}}}}

The heat capacity is given by the expression:

\longrightarrow \sf{\triangle Q= m \triangle C  \triangle   T}

\longrightarrow \sf{Q= \: Heat}

\longrightarrow \sf{M= \: Mass}

\longrightarrow \sf{C= \: Specific \: Heat}

\longrightarrow \sf{T= \: Temperature}

\huge\underline{\underline{\boxed{\mathbb {ANSWER:}}}}

\leadsto When the \bm{heat} is measured in the calorimeter, we obtain a value, and since we know the mass of the material and we control the change in \bm{temperature} , we can then determine the specific heat "C" by simply remplazing in the expression.

When jumping, a flea reaches a takeoff speed of 1.0 m/s over a distance of 0.47 mm .What is the flea's acceleration during the j
garri49 [273]
We can use kinematics here if we assume a constant acceleration (not realistic, but they want a single value answer, so it's implied). We know final velocity, vf, is 1.0 m/s, and we cover a distance, d, of 0.47mm or 0.00047 m (1m = 1000mm for conversion). We also can assume that the flea's initial velocity, vi, is 0 at the beginning of its jump. Using the equation vf^2 = vi^2 + 2ad, we can solve for our acceleration, a. Like so: a = (vf^2 - vi^2)/2d = (1.0^2 - 0^2)/(2*0.00047) = 1,064 m/s^2, not bad for a flea!

A 70.0 kg base runner moving at a speed of 4.0 m/s begins his slide into second base. The coefficient of friction between his cl
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

B. 560 J

J. 1.2 m

Explanation:

v = Final velocity = 0

u = Initial velocity = 4 m/s

\mu = Coefficient of friction = 0.7

m = Mass of runner = 70 kg

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81\ \text{m/s}^2

Kinetic energy is given by

K=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)\\\Rightarrow K=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 70\times (0^2-4^2)\\\Rightarrow K=-560\ \text{J}

The mechanical energy lost is 560 J

Acceleration is given by

a=-\mu g\\\Rightarrow a=-0.7\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow a=-6.867\ \text{m/s}^2

From kinematic equations we get

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\dfrac{0^2-4^2}{2\times -6.867}\\\Rightarrow s=1.165\approx 1.2\ \text{m}

The runner slides for 1.2 m
