A ferry approaches shore, moving north with a speed of 6.2 m/s relative to the dock. A person on the ferry walks from one side o

f the ferry to the other, moving east with a speed of 1.5 m/s relative to the ferry. What is the speed of the person relative to the dock?

Speed of Ferry is towards North with magnitude 6.2 m/s

Here if we assume that North direction is along Y axis and East is along X axis then we can say

\vec v_f = 6.2 \hat j

Now a person walk on ferry with speed 1.5 m/s towards east with respect to Ferry

so it is given as

\vec v_{pf} = 1.5 \hat i

also by the concept of relative motion we know that

\vec v_{pf} = \vec v_p - \vec v_f

now plug in all values in it

1.5 \hat i = \vec v_p - 6.2 \hat j

\vec v_p = 1.5 \hat i + 6.2 \hat j

now if we need to find the speed of the person then we need to find its magnitude

so it is given as

v = \sqrt{1.5^2 + 6.2^2}

v = 6.37 m/s

How long does it take the lava bomb to reach its maximum height? Answer with three significant digits and the correct unit. A sm
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

The time taken to reach the maximum height is 3.20 seconds

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The initial height from which the volcano erupts the lava bomb = 64.4 m

The initial upward velocity of the lava bomb = 31.4 m/s

The acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

The time it takes the lava bomb to reach its maximum height, t, is given by the following kinematic equation as follows;

v = u - g·t

Where;

v = The final velocity  = 0 m/s at maximum height

u = The initial velocity = 31.4 m/s

g = The acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

t = The time taken to reach the maximum height

Substituting the values gives;

0 = 31.4 - 9.8 × t

∴ 31.4 = 9.8 × t

t = 31.4/9.8  ≈ 3.204

The time taken to reach the maximum height rounded to three significant figures = t ≈ 3.20 seconds

Which two elements will most likely form an ionic bond? (Click on the periodic table icon to view these elements) krypton and li
netineya [11]

Answer:

Magnesium and Bromine

Explanation:

I just took the test, and Magnesium has 7 electrons and Bromine has 2 valance electrons making the transfer a lot easier. In the first choice, Krypton already has 8 valance electrons therefore it cannot transfer or accept any more which rules it out as a possible answer. Calcium has 2 valance electrons and Potassium has 1 meaning it couldn't make a full shell of 8 and cannot make a ionic bond. Iodine has 7 electrons as well as Chlorine which wouldn't be the answer because it would have more than 8 valance electrons.
