Of course. Wind is air in motion, and the gases in air are composed of
all the usual familiar stuff ... atoms, molecules, mass, etc. That's how
the wind moves things ... it has momentum and kinetic energy, which
get transferred to the things that move in the wind.</span>
Answer:
0.625 c
Explanation:
Relative speed of a body may be defined as the speed of one body with respect to some other or the speed of one body in comparison to the speed of second body.
In the context,
The relative speed of body 2 with respect to body 1 can be expressed as :

Speed of rocket 1 with respect to rocket 2 :



Therefore, the speed of rocket 1 according to an observer on rocket 2 is 0.625 c
Answer: 211.059 m
Explanation:
We have the following data:
The angle at which the ball leaves the bat
The initial velocity of the ball
The acceleration due gravity
We need to find how far (horizontally) the ball travels in the air: 
Firstly we need to know this velocity has two components:
<u>Horizontally:</u>
(1)
(2)
<u>Vertically:</u>
(3)
(4)
On the other hand, when we talk about parabolic movement (as in this situation) the ball reaches its maximum height just in the middle of this parabola, when
and the time
is half the time it takes the complete parabolic path.
So, if we use the following equation, we will find
:
(5)
Isolating
:
(6)
(7)
(8)
Now that we have the time it takes to the ball to travel half of is path, we can find the total time
it takes the complete parabolic path, which is twice
:
(9)
With this result in mind, we can finally calculate how far the ball travels in the air:
(10)
Substituting (2) and (9) in (10):
(11)
Finally:
Answer:
He's 3 miles west of school.
Explanation:
He went 5 miles up and 5 miles down which means that he really didn't go up or down. In between that, he went 3 miles west so if the 5 milers don't count, this puts him at 3 miles west of school.
