Playing catch with a friend in a moving train. When you toss the ball in the direction the train is moving, how does the speed o

f the ball appear to an observer standing at rest outside the train?
I understand basic relative motion, just the ball moving on another moving object confuses me!

Well it would simply appear faster because the speed of the ball and the speed of the train.

Answer:

The speed of the ball appear faster when we observe it from ground frame at rest.

Explanation:

As we know that by relate motion concept

v_{AB} = v_A - v_B

here when ball is thrown in the direction of train motion with velocity "v" relative to the train then we will assume here that let say the train at that moment is running at speed v_T

now by above concept of relative velocity we will have

v = v_{ball} - v_T

now for the speed of ball

v_{ball} = v + v_T

so from this equation we can see that the actual speed of ball in ground frame will be more than the speed observed in train frame

¿Cuál es la velocidad del sonido en el aíre a -25°C?
Svetradugi [14.3K]

La velocidad del sonido en el aire (a una temperatura de 20 ºC) es de 343 m/s. La ecuación creada por Newton y posteriormente modificada por Laplace que permite obtener la velocidad del sonido en el aire teniendo en cuenta la variable de la temperatura es "331+(0,6 x Temperatura)".

A heater is being designed that uses a coil of 14-gauge nichrome wire to generate 300 W using a voltage of V = 110 V . How long
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

The length of the wire is 83.2 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Power of heater, P = 300 W

Voltage, V = 110 V

The resistivity of nichrome wire is, \rho=100\times 10^{-8}\ \Omega-m

The electric power of a wire is given by :

P=\dfrac{V^2}{R}\\\\R=\dfrac{V^2}{P}\\\\R=\dfrac{(110)^2}{300}\\\\R=40.34\ \Omega

Area of cross section of the wire is :

A=\pi r^2\\\\A=\pi (0.000815)^2\\\\A=2.08\times 10^{-6}\ m^2

Resistance of a material is given by :

R=\rho \dfrac{L}{A}\\\\L=\dfrac{RA}{\rho}\\\\L=\dfrac{40\times 2.08\times 10^{-6}}{10^{-6}}\\\\L=83.2\ m

So, the length of the wire is 83.2 m. Hence, this is the required solution.
