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 small object carrying a charge of -4.00 nC is acted upon by a downward force of 24.0 nN when placed at a certain point in an e
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

E  = -6 \  N/C

Generally given that the electric field is negative it mean that its direction is opposite to that of the force    

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The charge on the small object is Q = -4.00 \ nC =  -4.00 *10^{-9} \  C

   The force is  F  =  24  \ nN  =  24 *10^{-9} \  N

    Generally the magnitude of the electric  field is mathematically represented as

       E  =  \frac{F}{Q}

=>    E  =  \frac{ 24 *10^{-9}} {-4 *10^{-9 }}

=>     E  = -6 \  N/C

Generally given that the electric field is negative it mean that its direction is opposite to that of the force

An object is moving at a constant velocity of 10 m/s for 5 seconds. What is
german

initial velocity (u)=0m/s

final velocity (v)=10m/s

time( t)=5s

acceleration (a)=v-u÷t

acceleration (a)=10-0÷5

acceleration (a)=10÷5

acceleration (a)=2

therefore acceleration (a)=2m/s
