A person is walking from the front of a train toward the back of a train at a constant velocity of 3 mph. The train is moving fo

rward at a velocity of 20 mph. What is the velocity of the walking person relative to the land outside the train?

Explanation:

This is the Galilean transformation.

V' = V - U   where want to find V' in the primed frame of reference.

The primed frame is moving at speed U = -20 relative to the train.

V = -3 is the speed of the person in the frame of the train.

Then V' = -3 - (-20) = 17 mph relative to the land outside the train.

Dave rows a boat across a river at 4.0 m/s. the river flows at 6.0 m/s and is 360 m across.
Ad libitum [116K]

a) Let's call x the direction parallel to the river and y the direction perpendicular to the river.

Dave's velocity of 4.0 m/s corresponds to the velocity along y (across the river), while 6.0 m/s corresponds to the velocity of the boat along x. Therefore, the drection of Dave's boat is given by:

\theta= arctan(\frac{v_y}{v_x})=arctan(\frac{4.0 m/s}{6.0 m/s})=arctan(0.67)=33.7^{\circ}

relative to the direction of the river.


b) The distance Dave has to travel it S=360 m, along the y direction. Since the velocity along y is constant (4.0 m/s), this is a uniform motion, so the time taken to cross the river is given by

t=\frac{S_y}{v_y}=\frac{360 m}{4.0 m/s}=90 s


c) The boat takes 90 s in total to cross the river. The displacement along the y-direction, during this time, is 360 m. The displacement along the x-direction is

S_x = v_x t =(6.0 m/s)(90 s)=540 m

so, Dave's landing point is 540 m downstream.


d) If there were no current, Dave would still take 90 seconds to cross the river, because its velocity on the y-axis (4.0 m/s) does not change, so the problem would be solved exactly as done at point b).

During a braking test, a car is brought to rest beginning from an initial speed of 60 mi/hr in a distance of 120 ft. With the sa
maw [93]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Initial speed u=60\ mi/hr\approx 88\ ft/s

distance traveled before coming to rest d_1=120\ ft

using equation of motion

v^2-u^2=2as

where v=final velocity

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

s=displacement

0-(88)^2=2\times a\times 120---1

for u_2=80\ mi/hr\approx 117.33\ ft/s

using same relation we get

0-(117.33)^2=2\times a\times (d_2)----2

divide 1 and 2 we get

(\frac{88}{117.33})^2=\frac{120}{d_2}

d_2=213.32\ ft

So a distance if 213.32 ft is required to stop the vehicle with 80 mph speed

Difference between incident ray and refracted ray ​
natima [27]

Answer:

** incident ray.

Incident ray - the ray of light falling on the surface AB is called the incident ray

reflected ray.

** Reflected ray - the incident ray bouncing back in the same medium after striking the reflecting surface is called reflected ray.

Example of first, second and third law of motion.​
statuscvo [17]

Examples of Newton's three law of motion.

First law of motion: A rocket being launched up in the atmosphere.

Second law of motion:while riding a bicycle, a bicycle acts as a mass and our legs pushing on the pedals of the bicycle is the force.

Third law of motion:when we jump off from the boat,the boat moves backward.

Hope,it will helpyouu!
