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

9. A 2 liter bottle of Coke weighs about 2 kilograms. If that bottle were combined with an equal amount of anti-Coke, how many J
givi [52]

Answer:

The amount of energy that would be released is equal to 4182 Joules.

Explanation:

Total amount of coke = 2 kg = 2000 g

1 calorie per gram is equal to 4.184 Joules of energy

4.184 J/gC*2000g = 8368 J

1 food calorie is roughly equal to 4186 J

8368 - 4186

Therefore, the amount of energy that would be released is equal to 4182 Joules.

Share your thoughts about this statement by John Wesley<br> "Electricty is the soul of universe"
ikadub [295]

Answer:

<em>I think this statement is true at least in modern day times. The world runs on nothing but technology. People use more technology instead of old school textbooks and papers. Imagine living in a world without technology… that means no cars, no trains, no devices, no machines like your stove or printer, no lights and lots more. John Wesley is 100 percent correct with this statement. Electricity is indeed the powerhouse of the universe. </em>

How much kinetic energy does a 50 kg object have if its moving at a velocity of 2 m/s?
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

C) 100 joules

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of an object is given by:

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where m is the mass of the object and v its speed.

In this problem, we have an object of mass m = 50 kg and v = 2 m/s, so by using the formula we can find its kinetic energy:

K=\frac{1}{2}(50 kg)(2 m/s)^2=100 J
