You are travelling at 60.0 mph on the Grand Central Parkway near exit 10 where it is (nearly) parallel to the Long Island Expres

sway (LIE). a) A truck on the LIE going in the SAME direction as you is travelling at 55.0 mph. What is YOUR relative velocity compared to that truck? b) A truck on the LIE going in the OPPOSITE direction as you is travelling at 55.0 mph. What is YOUR relative velocity compared to that truck?

Answer:

a)Vr= 5 mph

b)Vr= 115 mph

Explanation:

Lets

your velocity ,u= 60 mph

velocity of truck ,v= 55 mph

When object are moving in opposite direction the relative velocity  = u +v When object are moving in opposite direction the relative velocity  = u - v

a)

Truck is moving in the same direction ,so the  relative velocity

Vr= = u - v

Vr= 60 - 55

Vr= 5 mph

b)

Truck is moving in the opposite direction ,so the  relative velocity

Vr= = u+v

Vr= 60 + 55

Vr= 115 mph

According to the concept of length contraction, what happens to the length of an object as it approaches the speed of light and
lord [1]
When an object moves its length contracts in the direction of motion. The faster it moves the shorter it gets in the direction of motion.
The object in this question moves and then stops moving. So it's length first contracts and then expands to its original length when the motion stops.
The speed doesn't have to be anywhere near the speed of light. When the object moves its length contracts no matter how fast or slow it's moving.

our 3.80-kg physics book is placed next to you on the horizontal seat of your car. The coefficient of static friction between th
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

Maximum force of friction possible = μmg

= .65 x 3.8 x 9.8

= 24.2 N

u = 72 x 1000 / 60 x 60

= 20 m /s

v² = u² - 2as

a = 20 x 20 / (2 x 30)

= 6.67 m / s²

force acting on it

= 3.8 x 6.67

= 25.346 N

Friction force possible is less .

So friction will not be able to prevent its slippage

It will slip off .

How is artificial gravity created in spaceships and sattelites ?????? U need some IQ for this
goldfiish [28.3K]

Explanation:

Artificial gravity can be created using a centripetal force. A centripetal force directed towards the center of the turn is required for any object to move in a circular path. In the context of a rotating space station it is the normal force provided by the spacecraft's hull that acts as centripetal force.

Hope it helps.
