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).

For 0.37 moles of oxygen (02) gas at room temperature with active translational and rotational degrees of freedom.
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

B. 161.5 J

Explanation:

n = Number of moles = 0.37

\Delta T = Rise in the temperature of the oxygen gas = 15 K

Q = heat added in order to raise the temperature

c_{p} = specific heat at constant pressure = 3.5

At constant pressure, heat is given as

Q = n c_{p} R \Delta T\\Q = (3.5) (0.37) (8.314) (15)\\Q = 161.5 J

Taro stated that when someone hits a golf ball with a club, the amount of energy the ball has changes, the amount of energy that
melamori03 [73]
The mistake here is that the total energy of the system does not change - generally, the total amount of energy in a system never changes unless the energy enters or leaves the system somehow (for example, if you see the Earth alone as a system, then energy from the sun enters the system and some energy is lost to space in the form of heat).

Will give brainliest to correct answer.
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

1.5X10^-4C

Explanation:

Expression for the electric force between the two charges is given by -

F = (k*q1*q2) / r^2

Here, k = constant = 9 x 10^9 N*m^2 / C^2

q1 = unknown

F=25N

q2 = 1.9x10^-6 C

r = 0.32 m

Substitute the given values in the above expression -

25=9x10^9 *(q1) * 1.9 x10^ -6/ (0.32m)^2

25= 17,100* (q1)/ 0.1024

multiply both sides by 0.1024 to get rid of the denominator

2.56=17,100*(q1)

Divide both sides by 17,100 to isolate q1

q1=1.5x10^-4C

Which of the following statements characterizing types of waves are true?
Tasya [4]

Answer:

a and b.

Explanation:

In general  types of wave

1. Transverse wave  :

    In these waves particle are vibrate perpendicular to motion of waves.

 Ex : Electromagnetic wave , Radio wave .

2. Longitudinal wave :

   In these waves particle are vibrate along the motion of waves.

 Ex : Sound wave

Mechanical wave  :

1 .These are transverse wave or Longitudinal wave or combination of them .

2.These waves required medium for propagation.

3. The particle are vibrate perpendicular to motion of waves.

So the option a and b are correct.
