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

Select the situation for which the torque is the smallest.
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

e. The torque is the same for all cases.

Explanation:

The formula for torque is:

τ = Fr

where,

τ = Torque

F = Force = Weight (in this case) = mg

r = perpendicular distance between force an axis of rotation

Therefore,

τ = mgr

a)

Here,

m = 200 kg

r = 2.5 m

Therefore,

τ = (200 kg)(9.8 m/s²)(2.5 m)

<u>τ = 4900 N.m</u>

<u></u>

b)

Here,

m = 20 kg

r = 25 m

Therefore,

τ = (20 kg)(9.8 m/s²)(25 m)

<u>τ = 4900 N.m</u>

<u></u>

c)

Here,

m = 8 kg

r = 62.5 m

Therefore,

τ = (8 kg)(9.8 m/s²)(62.5 m)

<u>τ = 4900 N.m</u>

<u></u>

Hence, the correct answer will be:

<u>e. The torque is the same for all cases.</u>
