Answer:

V = - 0.5 [m/s]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must use the principle of relative speeds. This is for an observer who is on the edge of the river he can see how the river moves to the left and the woman tries to move to the right but can not since:

V_{total}=-3+2.5\\V_{total}=-0.5 [m/s]

That is, the person sees how the woman moves to the left but with avelocity of 0.5 [m/s] to the left

Calculate the work done if a boy lifts a bag of cement 500N to the floor of a lorry 2.5m above the ground
eduard

Answer:

W = 1250 J = 1.25 KJ

Explanation:

The work done by the boy is due to the change in the position of the cement vertically. Hence, the work done in this case will be equal to the potential energy of the cement:

W = P.E\\W = mgh

where,

W = Work done = ?

mg = W = weight of cement = 500 N

h = height covered = 2.5 m

Therefore,

W = (500\ N)(2.5\ m)

<u>W = 1250 J = 1.25 KJ</u>

Sam receives the kicked football on the 3 yd line and runs straight ahead toward the goal line before cutting to the right at th
Pie

Answer:

Distance: 21 yd, displacement: 15 yd, gain in the play: 12 yd

Explanation:

The distance travelled by Sam is just the sum of the length of each part of Sam's motion, regardless of the direction. Initially, Sam run from the 3 yd line to the 15 yd line, so (15-3)=12 yd. Then, he run also 9 yd to the right. Therefore, the total distance is

d = 12 + 9 = 21 yd

The displacement instead is a vector connecting the starting point with the final point of the motion. Sam run first 12 yd straight ahead and then 9 yd to the right; these two motions are perpendicular to each other, so we can find the displacement simply by using Pythagorean's theorem:

d=\sqrt{12^2+9^2}=15 yd

Finally, the yards gained by Sam in the play are simply given by the distance covered along the forward-backward direction only. Since Sam only run from the 3 yd line to the 15 yd line along this direction, then the gain in this play was

d = 15 - 3 = 12 yd

For each question, select the right answer from the choices below:
Leni [432]

Option (ii) B is the correct option. The object on the moon has greater mass.

To resolve this, utilize the formulas Force = Mass * Acceleration.

The equation can be used to find the mass given the force in Newtons, using 9.8 m/s² for the acceleration of gravity of the earth and 1.6 m/s² for the moon.

Calculating the mass on earth:

30 N = 9.8 m/s² * mass

This results in a mass of 3.0 kg for the object on Earth.

Calculating the mass of the moon:

30 N = 1.6 m/s²2 * mass

Thus, the moon's object has a mass of 19. kg.

This can be explained by the fact that the earth has a stronger gravitational pull than the moon, producing more force per kilogram of mass. As a result, the moon's mass must be bigger to produce the same amount of force at a lower acceleration from gravity (1.6 m/s² vs. 9.8 m/s²).
