Sam and George are riding in separate cars on the freeway. The lanes they are driving in are adjacent. We choose our coordinate

system so that both are traveling into the positive x-direction. Sam travels at 65 mph and George travels at 72 mph. (a) What is Sam’s velocity relative to George? (b) What is George’s velocity relative to Sam?

Answer:

(a) Relative speed of Sam = -7 mph

(b) Relative speed of George = 7 mph

Explanation:

We have given speed of Sam 65 mph in north direction.

And speed of George is 72 mph also in north direction

We have find the relative velocity of both Sam and George

(a) Speed of Sam relative to George = speed of Sam - speed of George = 65 -72 = -7 mph

(b) Speed of George with respect to Sam = speed of George - speed of Sam = 72-65 = 7 mph

A boxer punches a sheet of paper in mid air, and brings it from rest up to a speed of 25 m/s in 0.05 s. if the mass of the paper
zepelin [54]
Ok, so you've got to figure out a force F and you have the speed in which the boxer punches on determinate time and the mass of the sheet of paper.

So based on the formula that says that the Force is equal to the mass multiplied by the acceleration => F=ma.
You look at it and see that you only have mass which is measured on KG so there is no problem.
then you have the acceleration which is measured on meters and is defined by: a = Δv/Δt 
So now you can replace the velocity and the time you have there
⇒ a 25m/s / 0.05s 
you have computing that ⇒ 50m because the seconds were cancelled out.
and then you plug the meters into the force equation.
F=(0.005kg)(50)
F=0.25N
so the boxer will have a force of 0.25 Newton's.
