A man walks backward on a bus. To a stationary observer, the bus moves

Physics

NNADVOKAT [17]3 years ago

Explanation:

V(m,b)= V(m,e) - V(b,e)

2.3m/s (west) = V(m,e) - 15m/s (east)

to solve this change the direction of slower speed. so it will become negative value

-2.3m/s ( east) = V (m,e) - 15m/s (east)

V(m,e) = 15m/s (east) - 2.3m/s (east)

V(m,e) = 12.7 m/s (east)

velocity of the man in frame of reference of stationary observer is 12.7 m/s

it's slightly less than the velocity of bus so stationary observer see the man move slower than the one inside the bus

ps:- V(m,b) - velocity of man relative to bus

V(b,e) - velocity of bus relative to earth

V(m,e) - velocity of man relative to earth

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we need to make a free body diagram of the book and the forces that interact on it. In the picture below you can see the free body diagram with these forces.

The person holding the book is compressing it with his hands, thus exerting a couple of forces of equal magnitude and opposite direction with value F.

Now the key to solving this problem is to analyze the equilibrium condition (Newton's third law) on the x & y axes.

To find the weight of the book we simply multiply the mass of the book by gravity.

W = m*g

W = 1.3[kg] * 9.81[m/s^2]

W = 12.75 [N]

vladimir2022 [97]

<em>Answer:</em>

<em>Velocity is vector quantity.So it needs direction in addition to speed.</em>

<em>Explanation:</em>

<em>The velocity of an object is the rate of change of its position with respect to a frame of reference, and is a function of time. Velocity is equivalent to a specification of its speed and direction of motion. </em>

Can someone explain each of these?
docker41 [41]

Answer:

Machine - A device consisting of fixed and moving parts that modifies mechanical energy and transmits it in a more useful form.

Mechanical advantage - Mechanical advantage is a measure of the force amplification achieved by using a tool, mechanical device or machine system.

Inclined Plane - A plane set at an angle to the horizontal, especially a simple machine used to raise or lower a load by rolling or sliding.

Wedge - A piece of material, such as metal or wood, thick at one edge and tapered to a thin edge at the other for insertion in a narrow crevice, used for splitting, tightening, securing, or levering.

Screw - A cylindrical rod incised with one or more helical or advancing spiral threads, as a lead screw or worm screw.

Lever - A simple machine consisting of a rigid bar pivoted on a fixed point and used to transmit force, as in raising or moving a weight at one end by pushing down on the other.

siniylev [52]

Answer:

v = 4.44 \times 10^5 m/s

Explanation:

By Einstein's Equation of photoelectric effect we know that

h\nu = W + \frac{1}{2}mv^2

here we know that

h\nu = energy of the photons incident on the metal

W = minimum energy required to remove photons from metal

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = kinetic energy of the electrons ejected out of the plate

now we know that it requires 351 nm wavelength of photons to just eject out the electrons

so we can say

W = \frac{hc}{351 nm}

here we know that

hc = 1242 eV-nm

now we have

W = \frac{1242}{351} = 3.54 eV

now by energy equation above when photon of 303 nm incident on the surface

\frac{1242 eV-nm}{303 nm} = 3.54 eV + \frac{1}{2}(9.1 \times 10^{-31})v^2

4.1 eV = 3.54 eV + (4.55 \times 10^{-31}) v^2

(4.1 - 3.54)\times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}) = (4.55 \times 10^{-31}) v^2

8.96 \times 10^{-20} = (4.55 \times 10^{-31}) v^2

v = 4.44 \times 10^5 m/s
