Answer:
acceleration 8 km/h/s south
Explanation:
First of all, let's remind that a vector quantity is a quantity which has both a magnitude and a direction.
Based on this definition, we can already rule out the following two choices:
distance: 40 km
speed: 40 km/h
Since they only have magnitude, they are not vectors.
Then, the following option:
velocity: 5 km/h north
is wrong, because the car is moving south, not north.
So, the correct choice is
acceleration 8 km/h/s south
In fact, the acceleration can be calculated as
where
v = 40 km/h is the final velocity
u = 0 is the initial velocity
t = 5 s is the time
Substituting,
And since the sign is positive, the direction is the same as the velocity (south).
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
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
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.
