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).

A snowball with a mass of 85 g hits the top hat of a 1.5 m tall snowman and sticks to it. the hat and the snowball, with a combi
LenaWriter [7]
Part (a): Velocity of the snowball
By conservation of momentu;
m1v1 + m2v2 = m3v3,

Where, m1 = mass of snowball, v1, velocity of snowball, m2 = mass of the hat, v2 = velocity of the hat, m3 = mass of snowball and the hat, v3 = velocity of snowball and the hut.

v2 = 0, and therefore,
85*v1 + 0 = 220*8 => v1 = 220*8/85 = 20.71 m/s

Part (b): Horizontal range
x = v3*t
But,
y = vy -1/2gt^2, but y = -1.5 m (moving down), vy =0 (no vertical velocity), g = 9.81 m/s^2

Substituting;
-1.5 = 0 - 1/2*9.81*t^2
1.5 = 4.905*t^2
t = Sqrt (1.5/4.905) = 0.553 seconds

Then,
x = 8*0.553 = 4.424 m
