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:
is the velocity of Bill with respect to Amy (which is stationary)
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
Therefore, Carlos velocity in Bill's reference frame will be
So, the magnitude is 20 m/s and the direction is westward (negative sign).
Answer:
Explanation:
The formula for this is
where F is the gravitational force, G is the gravitational constant, m1 is the mass of one object and m2 is the mass of the other object. We are looking for r, the distance between the centers of their masses.
Filling in:
and moving things around to solve for r:
Doing all that and rounding to the 3 sig fig's you need gives us a distance of 1.55 m
Answer:
because the gravitational pull is maximum at the poles and decreases as it comes down toward the equator.
