Answer:

Vs/c = 20 [m/s]

Explanation:

This is a problem of relative velocities, as velocity is a vector we can use addition or subtraction of vectors for the solution.

We are asked for the velocity of the sailboat with respect to an observer located in the canoe.

V_{s/c}=V_{sailboat}-V_{canoe}\\V_{s/c}=15-(-5)\\V_{s/c}=20[m/s]

Why is the speed of the canoe negative?, it is negative because the canoe moves in the opposite direction to the sailboat.

if you were to increase either mass or speed by a unit of 1 in a joules calculation, which would give you more energy?
musickatia [10]

Answer:increasing any of them, either mass or speed by 1unit will cause an increase in energy,

Explanation:

By increasing any of them, either mass or speed will cause an increase in energy.

Because kinetic energy is proportional to mass and also directly proportional to velocity

SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

options A and C

Explanation:

Since, the spheres are of same size and rotational speed of the sphere are not dependent on their masses. So, both the sphere will reach the bottom of the at the same time with the same speed. But their kinetic energies are different.

So, options A and C are correct.
