An RV is traveling 60 km/h along a highway. A boy sitting near the driver of the RV throws a ball to another boy at the back end

of the RV with a speed of 25 km/h. What is the speed of the ball relative to the boys? km/h What is the speed of the ball relative to a stationary observer on the side of the road? km/h

Answer:

Speed of the ball relative to the boys: 25 km/h

Speed of the ball relative to a stationary observer: 35 km/h

Explanation:

The RV is travelling at a velocity of

v_{RV}=+60 km/h

Here we have taken the direction of motion of the RV as positive direction.

The boy sitting near the driver throws the ball back with speed of 25 km/h, so the velocity of the ball in the reference frame of the RV is

v_B = -25 km/h

with negative sign since it is travelling in the opposite direction relative to the RV. Therefore, this is the velocity measured by every observer in the reference frame of the RV: so the speed measured by the boys is

v = 25 km/h

Instead, a stationary observer outside the RV measures a velocity of the ball given by the algebraic sum of the two velocities:

v = +60 km/h + (-25 km/h) = +35 km/h

So, he/she measures a speed of 35 km/h.

Which statement is true?
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

A. Speed is a scalar quantity and velocity is a vector quantity.

Explanation:

A scalar quantity is one that consists of only a numerical value.

Speed is a scalar quantity because only the instantaneous value is indicated, for example the speedometer of a car that tells you your speed at the moment but not where you are going or in what direction are you going.

On the other hand, velocity is a vector quantity. Because it is composed of a <u>magnitude and a direction</u>, for example 10m/s to the south is a velocity, and 10m/s is a speed.

Write down the (real) electric and magnetic fields for a monochromatic plane wave of amplitude E0 , frequency w, and phase angle
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

a) the oscillation of this field is in phase, when the magnetic field goes in the negative direction of y, the elective field goes in the positive direction of the z axis

b) the direction of the magnetic field perpendicular to this electric field and the speed in the negative x the magnetic field goes in the x direction and in the direction (1, - 1.1)

Explanation:

a) the polarization the determined wave oscillates the electric field, which is the z axis

 As the wave travels on the negative x-axis and the magnetic field is perpendicular, this field goes on the positive y-axis

the oscillation of this field is in phase, when the magnetic field goes in the negative direction of y, the elective field goes in the positive direction of the z axis

be) in the case of a polarization in the xi plane the magnetic field must go in the direction of the magnetic field perpendicular to this electric field and the speed in the negative x the magnetic field goes in the x direction and in the direction (1, - 1.1)

Will the velocity of the book change as it moves across the surface with NO friction? Explain your answer.
MakcuM [25]

No velocity will not be changed

Why?

According to Newtons 1st law the velocity of a moving object remains unchanged unless a external force affect that.

During the first 50 s a truck traveled at constant speed of 25 m/s. Find the distance that it is traveled.
Allushta [10]
Time=50s
speed=25m/s

Distance = speed×time
=25×50
=1250m

DISTANCE TRAVELLED IS =1250m
