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).

6 mph/s


Calculating acceleration involves dividing velocity by time — or in terms of SI units, dividing the meter per second [m/s] by the second [s]. Dividing distance by time twice is the same as dividing distance by the square of time. Thus the SI unit of acceleration is the meter per second squared .

A bicyclist notes that the pedal sprocket has a radius of rp = 9.5 cm while the wheel sprocket has a radius of rw = 4.5 cm. The
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

Explanation:

a) ωp = 2π radians / 1.7 s = <u>3.7 rad/s</u>

b) ωs = 3.7 rad/s(9.5 cm / 4.5 cm) = 7.8 rad/s

  v = (ωs)R = 7.8(65) = 507 cm/s or <u>5.1 m/s</u>

c) ωs = 3.5 m/s / 0.65 m = 5.38 rad/s

ωp = 5.38(4.5 cm / 9.5 cm) = 2.55 rad/s

t = θ/ω = 2π / 2.55 = 2.463... <u>2.5 s</u>

Which will have a larger momentum when moving at the same speed: a 2,000-kg truck or a 1,000-kg sedan
Alina [70]

Answer:

2000 kg

Explanation:

Given that Which will have a larger momentum when moving at the same speed: a 2,000-kg truck or a 1,000-kg sedan

According to the definition of momentum, momentum is the product of mass and velocity.

That is,

Momentum = mass × velocity

Since velocity or speed is the same, then, the one of higher mass will have a greater momentum.

Therefore, the 2000 kg truck will have the greater momentum.

The stars in the sky are organized into groups of stars called constellations which appear near each other in the sky but are no
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

The International Astronomical Union (IAU)  has accepted 88 constellations in the sky.

Explanation:

Constellations has been used since the beginnings of civilizations and each one of them named them as they considered appropiate. It means Greeks' constellations were different than the ones described by Chinese, so it was necessary to gather all these constellations and make a great record with all of them, but there was a problem: Some constellations from different civilizations overlaped because they shared the same stars. There was necessary to put some order on this and that is when in 1922 the International Astronomical Union (IAU) defned a set of 88 moderm constellations  that would become the international standard to look at the night sky. Each one of them is unique and does not share stars with the other constellations.
