A crash test dummy is inside a test car moving at 55 km/h. How fast is the dummy moving relative to the seat he is sitting in?

The situation is exactly the same as YOUR speed relative to the seat you're sitting in, aboard the passenger jet flying at 500 mph with you in it.

The dummy is moving with a speed 0 km/h relative to the seat in which it is sitting.

If the relative speed was non-zero, the dummy would move away from its seat, which contradicts the problem formulation.

A river flows at 2m/s. The velocity of a ferry relative to the shore is 4m /s at right angle to the current. What is the velocit

monitta

The velocity of the ferry relative to the current is 4.5 m/s.

<h3>Relative velocity</h3>

Relative velocity is the velocity of a body as observed from the reference point of another body either stationary or in motion.

Since the river is flowing parallel to the shore and the ferry is moving perpendicular to the shore, their velocities are at right angles to each other.

The two velocities form a right angled-triangle of sides 2, 4 and a hypotenuse which gives the relative velocity of the ferry to the current.

Using Pythagoras rule:

c² = a² + b²

Let c be the hypotenuse
a = velocity of the ferry, and
b = the velocity of the current, and

c² = 4² + 2²

c² = 16 + 4

c = 20

c = √20

c = 4.47 m/s

c ≈ 4.5 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the ferry relative to the current is 4.5 m/s.

Answer:

When the image distance is positive, the image is on the same side of the mirror as the object, and it is real and inverted. When the image distance is negative, the image is behind the mirror, so the image is virtual and upright.

Suppose we have two planets with the same mass, but the radius of the second one is twice the size of the first one. How does th

bogdanovich [222]

The free-fall acceleration on the second planet is one-fourth the value of the first planet.

Calculation:

Consider the mass of planet A to be, M

the mass of planet B to be, Mₓ = M

the radius of planet A to be, R₁

the radius of planet B to be, R₂

The acceleration due to gravity on planet A's surface is given as:

g = GM/R₁² - (1)

Similarly, the acceleration due to gravity on planet B's surface is given as:

g' = GM/R₂² [where, R₂ = 2R₁]

= GM/4R₁² -(2)

From equation 1 & 2, we get:

g/g' = GM/R₁² ÷ GM/4R₁²

g/g' = 4/1

Thus we get,

g' = 1/4 g

Therefore, the free-fall acceleration on the second planet is one-fourth the value of the first planet.
