Explanation:

Given that,

Bill is riding his bicycle at 5 m/s eastward: and Carlos is driving his car at 15 m/s westward.

Taking eastward as positive direction, we have:

v_B=+5\ m/sis the velocity of Bill with respect to Amy (which is stationary)

v_c=15\ m/s is the velocity of Carlos with respect to Amy.

Bill is moving 5 m/s eastward compared to Amy at rest, so the velocity of Bill's reference frame is

v_B=+5\ m/s

Therefore, Carlos velocity in Bill's reference frame will be

v_c'=-15\ m/s-(+5\ m/s)\\\\=-20\ m/s

So, the magnitude is 20 m/s and the direction is westward (negative sign).

Why can gases be compressed
Keith_Richards [23]
Gases can be compressed, because they just take up the space surrounding them. The attractive forces between the particles in a gas are very weak, so the particles are free to move in random direction. They just move along until they collide, either with the walls of the container or with each other. Moreover, gases can be compressed because the particles are far apart and they have space to move into.

what would the mass be of an object that was moving at a velocity of 35 m/s and has a kinetic energy of 500j be?
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

0.816 kg

Explanation:

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

so m=\frac{2E_k}{v^2}=\frac{2\times500}{35^2}=0.816 kg

You are traveling at 100 km/hr to make it to work on time. You have to be to work in .25 hr or you will be late. You have 16 km
alexgriva [62]

Answer: Yes

Explanation:

Velocity V is defined as the distance traveled d in a specific time t:

V=\frac{d}{t}

If you are traveling at V=100 km/h a distance d=16 m, then the time it will take you to be at work is:

t=\frac{d}{V}=\frac{16 km}{100 km/h}

t=0.16 h

This means you will make it on time, because this time is less than 0.25 h.
