Answer:

Vr = 20 [km/h]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we have to add the relative velocities. We must remember that velocity is a vector, therefore it has magnitude and direction. We will take the sea as the reference measurement level.

Let's take the direction of the ship as positive. Therefore the boy moves in the opposite direction (Negative) to the reference level (the sea).

V_{r}=30-10\\V_{r}=20 [km/h]

What is the speed in km/min of a skater who travels a distance of 210 m in a time of 30 seconds
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer: 0.42 km/min

Explanation:

total distance traveled(in meters) = 210m

total distance traveled(in km) = 210 ÷ 1000 = 0.21 km

total time taken(in seconds) = 30 s

total time taken(in minutes) = 30 ÷ 60 = 0.5 s

speed =(distance traveled)÷(time taken)[in km/min] = 0.21 ÷ 0.5 = 0.42km/min

When making maps of the large-scale universe, astronomers estimate distances to the vast majority of galaxies by using:
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

<em>The comoving distance and the proper distance scale</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

The comoving distance scale removes the effects of the expansion of the universe, which leaves us with a distance that does not change in time due to the expansion of space (since space is constantly expanding). The comoving distance and proper distance are defined to be equal at the present time; therefore, the ratio of proper distance to comoving distance now is 1. The scale factor is sometimes not equal to 1. The distance between masses in the universe may change due to other, local factors like the motion of a galaxy within a cluster.  Finally, we note that the expansion of the Universe results in the proper distance changing, but the comoving distance is unchanged by an expanding universe.

A girl moves quickly to the center of a spinning merry-go-round, traveling along the radius of the merry-go-round. Which of the
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

The angular speed of the system increases.

The moment of inertia of the system decreases.

Explanation:

As we know that the girl is going towards the center of the circle so here the moment of inertia of the girl is given as

I = mr^2

here we know that

r = position of the girl from the center of the disc

now we know that the girl is moving towards the center so its distance will continuously decreasing

So the moment of inertia of the girl will decrease

Now we know that that with respect to the center of the disc there is no torque on the disc + girl system

So here we can use angular momentum conservation

So we have

I\omega = constant

since moment of inertia is decreasing for the system

so angular speed will increase
