A ship is travelling due east at 30 km/hr and a boy runs across the deck

Physics

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]

fuel was consumed at a certain rate of 0.05Kg\s in a rocket engine and ejected as a gas with a speed of4000m\s . Determine the t
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

Thrust = 200 N

Explanation:

The engine thrust can be found by using the following formula:

Thrust = mv

where,

m = mass flow rate of the fuel = 0.05 kg/s

v = velocity of ejected gases = 4000 m/s

Therefore, using the given values in the equation, we get:

Thrust = (0.05\ kg/s)(4000\ m/s)

<u>Thrust = 200 N</u>

An aeroplane accelerates from rest to 65 m/s for take-off. It travels for
Virty [35]

Answer:

1.76m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial velocity  = 0m/s

Final velocity  = 65m/s

Distance traveled  = 1200m

Unknown:

Acceleration  = ?

Solution:

This is linear velocity and we apply the appropriate motion equation to solve this problem.

      V²  = U² + 2as

S is the distance

u is the initial velocity

V is the final velocity

a is the acceleration

Now, insert the parameters and solve;

             65²  =  0² + 2 x a x 1200

             4225 = 2400a

                  a  = 1.76m/s²

A ball rolls from x = - 5m to x = 0m in 1 second . What was its average velocity? (Units = m/s) Don't forget: velocities and dis
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

+ 5 m/s

Explanation:

change in displacement = ΔX=final position - initial position

                                            ΔX = 0-(-5) =0+5 =+ 5 m

average velocity =  ΔX/t

                             = +5/1

                             = + 5 m/s

positive sign shows that ball rolls towards right

A skater with a mass of 72 kg is traveling east at 5.8 m/s when he collides with another skater of mass 45 kg heading 60° south
Akimi4 [234]

The final velocity is 5.87 m/s

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given-

mass, m_{1} = 72 kg

speed, v_{1} = 5.8 m/s

Mass_{2},m_{2}  = 45 kg

speed_{2},v_{2}  = 12 m/s

Θ = 60°

Final velocity, v = ?

Applying the conservation of momentum:

m_{1} X v_{1} + m_{2} X v_{2} = (m_{1} +m_{2} ) v

72 X 5.8 + 45 X 12 X cos 60° = (72 + 45) v

v = 417.6 + 540 X \frac{0.5}{117}

v = 417.6 + \frac{270}{117}

v = 5.87 m/s

The final velocity is 5.87 m/s
