PLS HELP. A flatbed car of a train moves 8 m/s to the east. A jogger runs along to top the flatbed car (which is not very safe)

with a velocity of 6 m/s to the west. How fast is the jogger moving?

Answer:

2 m/s

Explanation: Given that a flatbed car of a train moves 8 m/s to the east. A jogger runs along to top the flatbed car (which is not very safe) with a velocity of 6 m/s to the west.

Since the jogger is moving in an opposite direction to the direction of the train, and velocity is the distance covered in a specific direction, the jogger will be moving at a velocity relative to the velocity of the train.

Velocity = (8 - 6) m/s

Velocity = 2 m/s

Therefore, the jogger will be moving at the speed of 2 m/s

Crystal can ride her bike 10 miles in 2.1 hours. What is her velocity
masha68 [24]

Answer:

v = 4.76 m/s

Explanation:

Given,

The distance traveled by her bike, d = 10 miles

The time of her travel, t = 2.1 m/s

The velocity of an object is defined as the distance traveled by the object to the time of travel. Therefore,

                          V = d/t   m/s

                              = 10 / 2.1

                              = 4.76 m/s

Hence, The velocity of her bike is, V = 4.76 m/s

A meter stick moves parallel to its axis with speed of 0.96 c relative to you. What would you measure for the length of the stic
Fed [463]

Answer:

The length of the stick is 0.28 m.

The time the stick take to move is 0.97 ns.

Explanation:

Given that,

Relative speed of stick v= 0.96 c

Speed of light c= 2.99793\times10^{8}\ m/s

Proper length of stick = 1 m

We need to calculate the length of the stick

Using formula of length

\Delta l=\Delta l_{0}\sqrt{(1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2})}

Put the value into the formula

\Delta l=1\sqrt{1-\dfrac{(0.96)^2c^2}{c^2}}

\Delta l=1\sqrt{1-(0.96)^2}

\Delta l=0.28\ m

We need to calculate the time the stick take to move

Using formula of time

t=\dfrac{\Delta l}{v}

Put the value into the formula

t=\dfrac{0.28}{0.96\times(2.99793\times10^{8})}

t=9.72\times10^{-10}\ sec

t=0.97\ ns

Hence, The length of the stick is 0.28 m.

The time the stick take to move is 0.97 ns.

A bungee cord is 30m long and when stretched a distance x itexerts a restoring force of magnitude kx. Your father-in-law (mass95
madam [21]

Answer:

The distance the bungee cord that would be stretched 0.602 m, should be selected when pulled by a force of 380 N.

Explanation:

As from the given data

the length of the rope is given as l=30 m

the stretched length is given as l'=41m

the stretched length required is give as  y=l'-l=41-30=11m

the mass is m=95 kg

the  force is  F=380 N

the gravitational acceleration is g=9.8 m/s2

The equation of  k is given by equating the energy at the equilibrium point which is given as

U_{potential}=U_{elastic}\\mgh=\dfrac{1}{2} k y^2\\k=\dfrac{2mgh}{y^2}

Here

m=95 kg, g=9.8 m/s2, h=41 m, y=11 m so

k=\dfrac{2mgh}{y^2}\\k=\dfrac{2\times 95\times 9.8\times 41}{11^2}\\k=630.92 N/m

Now the force is

F=kx\\ or

x=\dfrac{F}{k}\\

So here F=380 N, k=630.92 N/m

x=\dfrac{F}{k}\\x=\dfrac{380}{630.92}\\x=0.602 m

So the distance is 0.602 m
