Amy is standing still on the ground; Bill is riding his bicycle at 5 m/s eastward; and Carlos is driving his car at 15 m/s westw

Answer:

20 m/s westward

Explanation:

Taking eastward as positive direction, we have:

v_B = +5 m/s is the velocity of Bill with respect to Amy (which is stationary)

v_C = -15 m/s is the velocity of Carlos with respect to Amy

Bill is moving 5 m/s eastward compared to Amy at rest, so the velocity of Bill's reference frame is

v_B = +5 m/s

Therefore, Carlos velocity in Bill's reference frame will be

v_C' = v_C - v_B = -15 m/s - (+5 m/s) = -20 m/s

and the direction will be westward (negative sign).

Why does the density of a substance remain the same for different amount of the substance
tresset_1 [31]

Think of it this way: 
-- Any time you have something that means (some number) PER UNIT,
it doesn't matter how many units there are on the table or in the bucket,
because that amount doesn't change the (number) PER UNIT.

-- If oranges cost $1 PER POUND, it doesn't matter how many pounds
you buy, the whole bagful is still $1 PER POUND.

-- If a certain salad dressing has 40 calories PER Tablespoon, it doesn't
matter whether you eat a drop of it or drink the whole jar.  You still get
40 calories PER Tablespoon.

-- Density means '(mass) PER unit of volume'.  Whether you have a tiny
chip of the substance or a whole truckload of it, there's still the same
amount of mass IN EACH unit of volume.

14. a ball is thrown horizontally from the roof of a building 75 m tall with a speed of 4.6 m/s. a. how much later does the ball
Burka [1]

The time taken to hit the ground is 3.9 s, the range is 18m and the final velocity is 42.82 m/s

<h3>Motion Under Gravity</h3>

The motion of an object under gravity is the vertical motion of the object under the influence of acceleration due to gravity.

Given that a ball is thrown horizontally from the roof of a building 75 m tall with a speed of 4.6 m/s.

a. how much later does the ball hit the ground?

The time can be calculated by considering the vertical component of the motion with the use of formula below.

h = ut + 1/2gt²

Where

  • Height h = 75 m
  • Initial velocity u = 0 ( vertical velocity )
  • Acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8 m/s²
  • Time t = ?

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

75 = 0 + 1/2 × 9.8 × t²

75 = 4.9t²

t² = 75/4.9

t² = 15.30

t = √15.3

t = 3.9 s

b. how far from the building will it land?

The range can be found by using the formula

R = ut

Where u = 4.6 m/s ( horizontal velocity )

R = 4.6 × 3.9

R = 18 m

c. what is the velocity of the ball just before it hits the ground?

The final velocity will be

v = u + gt

v = 4.6 + 9.8 × 3.9

v = 4.6 + 38.22

v = 42.82 m/s

Therefore, the answers are 3.9 s, 18 m and 42.82 m/s
