A friend is riding on the back of a truck that is going away from you at 20 km/h. As the truck passes, your friend throws a ball

toward you at 60 km/h relative to her. How fast is the ball going relative to you?

Since the ball moves in the relative direction opposite to the displacement of the car, the speeds must be subtracted, so

v= 60-20

v = 40km/s

Both move opposite directions. The attached graphic helps to better appreciate the problem in question, which concludes that the relative speed is 40km / s

train with a mass of 485000 kg. suppose the train is traveling northwest along a straight track at a speed of 20m/s. what force
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

Force = 485000 Newton.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 485000 kg

Initial velocity = 20m/s

Final velocity = 25m/s

Time, t = 5 seconds

To find the force;

First of all, we would calculate the acceleration of the train i.e the rate of change of the velocity of the train with respect to time.

Mathematically, acceleration is given by the equation;

Acceleration (a) = \frac{final \; velocity  -  initial \; velocity}{time}

a = \frac{v  -  u}{t}

Where;

a is acceleration measured in ms^{-2}

v and u is final and initial velocity respectively, measured in ms^{-1}

t is time measured in seconds.

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Acceleration = (25 - 20)/5

Acceleration = 5/5

Acceleration = 1m/s²

Force is given by the multiplication of mass and acceleration.

Mathematically, Force is;

Force = mass * acceleration

Force = 485000 * 1

Force = 485000 Newton.

What does a magnetic field look like <br>​
Lelechka [254]

Answer:Magnetic fields are invisible, at least usually. But scientists from NASA's Space Sciences Laboratory have made them visible as "animated photographs," using sound-controlled CGI and 3D compositing.

The cork in Question 1 travels I foot in moving from its lowest position to its highest position. What is the average velocity o
tatiyna

Answer:

8ft/s

Explanation:

For computing the average velocity of the cork first we have to determine the frequency which is shown below:

Frequency = \frac{Time\ taken }{one\ minute}

= \frac{240}{60\ seconds}

= 4 Hz

Now the average velocity of the cork is

\frac{\lambda}{2} = 1 ft\\\\ \lambda = 2ft\\\\ velocity = f\times \lambda \\\\

= 8ft/s

We simply applied the above formulas to determine the frequency and the velocity of the cork during this motion and the same is to be considered

If you increase the weight of an object, the frictional force increases but the coefficient does not change why
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

The coefficient of friction should in the majority of cases, remain constant no matter what your normal force is. When you apply a greater normal force, the frictional force increases, and your coefficient of friction stays the same. Here's another way to think about it: because the force of friction is equal to the normal force times the coefficient of friction, we expect (in theory) an increase in friction when the normal force is increased.

One more thing, the coefficient of friction is a property of the materials being "rubbed", and this property usually does not depend on the normal force
