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.

A sprinter speeds up to 3 m/s during the last 2 seconds of the race with an
quester [9]

Answer:

<em>The initial speed of the sprinter was 2.2 m/s</em>

Explanation:

<u>Constant Acceleration Motion</u>

It's a type of motion in which the velocity of an object changes by an equal amount in every equal period of time.

The following relation applies:

v_f=v_o+at

Where a is the constant acceleration, vo the initial speed, vf the final speed, and t the time.

The sprinter speeds up from an unknown initial speed to vf=3 m/s in t=2 seconds with an acceleration of a=0.4~m/s^2.

To find the initial speed, we solve the equation for vo:

v_o=v_f-at

Substituting the values:

v_o=3-0.4*2

v_o=3-0.8

v_o=2.2~m/s

The initial speed of the sprinter was 2.2 m/s

nadezda [96]
That prediction is not correct because Xenon is extremely stable; column 18 of the periodic table contains the noble gasses, which are stable because their outer-most energy levels are completely filled. Having the octet (8) of valence electrons means that the element no longer needs to lose or gain electrons to gain stability.

The column 17 elements are unstable because they only have one valence electron short of the stable octet configuration of the noble gasses.
