A jogger runs by a river with a velocity of 7 m s relative to the ground. A leaf floating on the river moves with a velocity of

2 m s relative to the ground (riverbed). What is the velocity of the leaf relative to the jogger?

Answer:

The velocity of the leaf relative to the jogger is 5 m/s.                    

Explanation:

Given that,

Velocity of jogger wrt to the ground, V_j=7\ m/s

velocity of leaf wrt the ground, v_i=2\ m/s

We need to find the velocity of the leaf relative to the jogger. Let it is equal to V. So, it is given by :

V=v_j-v_i\\\\V=7-2\\\\V=5\ m/s

So, the velocity of the leaf relative to the jogger is 5 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

Two objects of the same mass move along the same line in opposite directions. The first mass is moving with speed . The objects
Alexandra [31]

Explanation:

Let the mass of two objects be m. Both objects move along the same line in opposite directions. Let v and u₂ are speeds of both objects before collision.

After the collision, both objects stick together and move with the speed of 0.1 V the direction of the velocity of the first mass before the collision.

Using the conservation of momentum as :

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)v

V=\dfrac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{(m_1+m_2)}

V=\dfrac{m(u_1+u_2)}{(m_1+m_2)}

0.1v=\dfrac{m(v+u_2)}{(2m)}

On solving above equation, u_2=-0.8v

So, the speed of the second mass before the collision is 0.8 v. The negative sign shows that the it moves in opposite direction. Hence, this is the required solution.

11. A cyclist accelerates from 0 m/s to 10 m/s in 3 seconds. What is his acceleration ? Is this acceleration higher than that of
Marat540 [252]

a =  \frac{v - u}{t}

v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

t = time taken

the acceleration of the cyclist is

\frac{10 - 0}{3}  = 3.333333....

approximately 3.33 m/s^2

the acceleration of the car is

\frac{40 - 0 }{8}  = 5.0

5.0 m/s^2

5.0 > 3.33 \\ so \:  the \: answer  \: is \: no

Which data set has the smallest standard deviation?
777dan777 [17]
The answer would be B.
<span>
Standard deviation basically measures how spread out the values are. Without solving, you can easily tell which one among your choices have a smaller deviation. The closer the values are to each other the smaller the standard deviation. The values of choice B are the closest together, so you can assume that they have the smallest standard deviation. </span>
