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

Physics
1 answer:
NNADVOKAT [17]3 years ago
6 0

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

An object with a mass of 30 kg moves at a rate of 15 m/S over distance of 10 m. 900 joules of work was done in 10 seconds. What
Sliva [168]

Answer:

P = 90 W

Explanation:

Mass of an object, m = 30 kg

Speed of the object, v = 15 m/s

Distance, d = 10 m

Work done, W = 900 J

Time, t = 10 s

We need to find the power generated by this project. We know that power is equal to work done divided by time taken.

So,

P=\dfrac{W}{t}\\\\P=\dfrac{900\ J}{10\ s}\\\\P=90\ W

So, the required power generated is 90 W.

Imagine we cook an egg by immersing it into water which is boiled by an electric heater. The heater utilizes a current I =10 A a
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

Q' = 115.2 KJ

Explanation:

Given that

Current I = 10 A

Voltage = 120 V

Time t= 120 s

The energy supplied Q= V I t

Q= 10 x 120 x 120 J

Q= 144 x 1000 J

Q= 144 KJ

The change in the energy ΔEngg = 28.8 kJ

By using energy conservation

Q= Q' +  ΔEngg

Q'=Wasted energy

Now by putting the values in the above equation

144 = Q' + 28.8 KJ

Q' = 115.2 KJ

Therefore the waste energy will be 115 kJ.

Which is the wavelength of a wave that travels at a speed of 3.0 × 10^8 m/s and has a frequency of 1.5 × 10^16 Hz?
k0ka [10]

Answer:

2 x 10^-8

Explanation:

the formula of wavelength is

the speed divided by frequency

so you have the speed given = 3.0x10^8m/s

and frequency = 1.5×10^16 Hz

so wavelength = 3.0x10^8m/s / 1.5x10^16 Hz

Two balls with masses of 2.0 kg and 6.0 kg travel toward each other at speeds of 12 m/s and 4.0 m/s, respectively. If the balls
Alina [70]

Answer:

The kinetic energy lost in the collision is 48 J

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the first ball, m₁ = 2.0 kg

mass of the second ball, m₂ = 6.0 kg

initial speed of the first ball, u₁ = 12 m/s

initial speed of the second ball, u₂ = 4 m/s

let v be the final velocity of the two balls after the inelastic collision

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum;

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = v(m₁ + m₂)

2 x 12 + 6 x 4 = v(2 + 6)

48 =  8v

48 / 8 = v

v = 6 m/s

The initial kinetic energy of the balls is calculated as;

K.E₁ = ¹/₂m₁u₁² + ¹/₂m₂u₂²

K.E₁ = ¹/₂(2)(12²) + ¹/₂(6)(4)²

K.E₁ = 144 + 48

K.E₁ = 192 J

The final kinetic of the balls is calculated as;

K.E₂ = ¹/₂(m₁ + m₂)(v²)

K.E₂ = ¹/₂(2 + 6)(6²)

K.E₂ = ¹/₂(8)(6²)

K.E₂ = 144 J

The lost in kinetic energy of the balls is K.E₂ - K.E₁ = 144 J - 192 J = -48 J

Therefore, the kinetic energy lost in the collision is 48 J
