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

Answer:

28 cm and 32 cm

Explanation:

1. The spring pendulum hangs vertically, oscillates harmonic with amplitude 2cm and angular frequency 20 rad/s. The natural length of

a spring is 30cm. What is the minimum and maximum length of the spring during the oscillation? Take g = 10m/s2.

As the amplitude is 2 cm and the natural length is 30 cm. So, it oscillates between 30 -2 = 28 cm to 30 + 2 = 32 cm.

So, the minimum length is 28 cm and the maximum length is 32 cm.

Find the magnitude of acceleration (ft/s^2) a person experiences when he or she is texting and driving 58mph, hits a wall, and c
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

350 ft/s²

Explanation:

First, convert mph to ft/s.

58 mi/hr × (5280 ft/mi) × (1 hr / 3600 s) = 85.1 ft/s

Given:

v₀ = 85.1 ft/s

v = 0 ft/s

t = 0.24 s

Find: a

v = at + v₀

a = (v − v₀) / t

a = (0 ft/s − 85.1 ft/s) / 0.24 s

a = -354 ft/s²

Rounded to two significant figures, the magnitude of the acceleration is 350 ft/s².

Choose whether each of the following statements is true or false. In order to move a massive crate sitting on the floor, the for
velikii [3]

Answer:

 

Explanation:

1. False

The force you apply on crate is equal and opposite to the force that crate applies on you by Newton's third law of motion.

The force must over come the static frictional force between the crate and the  floor.

2. True

The object can move along another direction than the direction of net force. For example, when a car slows down, the net force is opposite to the direction of motion.

3. True

An object moving at constant velocity has zero net force acting on it.

4. False

An object at rest has forces acting on it but the summation of all the forces is zero i.e. the net force is zero.
