An observer sitting on shore sees a canoe traveling 5.0 m/s east, and a sailboat traveling 15.0 m/s west. What is the velocity o
1 answer:
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.
Why is the speed of the canoe negative?, it is negative because the canoe moves in the opposite direction to the sailboat.

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts of the Magnetic Force. This expression will be expressed in both the vector and the scalar ways. Through this second we can directly use the presented values and replace them to obtain the value of the magnitude. Mathematically this can be described as,
Here,
q = Charge
v = Velocity
B = Magnetic field
Our values are given as,
Replacing,
Therefore the size of the magnetic force acting on the bumble bee is
The force on each balloon is 2×10^−3 N.
Consider two balloons of diameter 0.200m each with a mass of 1.00g hanging apart with 0.0500m separation on the ends of string making angles of 10.0° with the vertical.
So,
A force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity (e.g. moving from a state of rest), i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. It is measured in the SI unit of newton (N).
