You are walking toward the back of a train that is moving forward with a constant velocity. The train's velocity relative to the

ground is 30 m/s forward. Your velocity relative to the train is 1.5 m/s backward. How fast are you moving relative to the ground?

Answer:

28.5 m/s

Explanation:

There are 2 different velocities: the train velocity and yours velocity. They're in opposite directions, so one is positive and other is negative. Take the forward direction as the positive:

V = +30 -1.5

V = 28.5 m/s

A weightlifter can lift 220lbs. (assume 1kg weighs 2.2lbs) If he lifts the weight 2m above the floor, how much work did he do?
Anton [14]
Convert 220 lb to kg.

220/2.2 = 100kg.

W = Fd (In this case, F is the weight)
W = (100)(2)
W = 200J

P = W/t
P = (200)/(1.2)
P = 166.67W

If an object moving at 12 m/s has a kinetic energy of 72 j what is the mass
EleoNora [17]
Simply, apply the formula E = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2} and insert the values of m = mass, v = velocity and E = Energy.
The result will be 72J =  \frac{1}{2}m(12m/s)^{2}, m = 1 kg

What do electric forces between charges depend on
denis23 [38]

Answer:

On the magnitude of the charges, on their separation and on the sign of the charges

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electric force between two charges is given by

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1, q2 are the magnitudes of the two charges

r is the separation between the charges

From the formula, we see that the magnitude of the force depends on the following factors:

- magnitude of the two charges

- separation between the charges

Moreover, the direction of the force depends on the sign of the two charges. In fact:

- if the two charges have same sign, the force is repulsive

- if the two charges have opposite signs, the force is attractive

Why is freshly distilled or deionized water used in this standardization?
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

The amount of carbon dioxide is little in deionized water.

Explanation:

Deionized water is a water with little or no impurities. Impurities are in waters are not able to boil below or above the boiling point of water,and in this case are been retained in the original container.

What volume (in liters) of gasoline has a total heat of combustion equal to the energy obtained in part (a)? (see section 17.6;
antiseptic1488 [7]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

volume = 6.3 × 10^-2 L

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

Volume = mass/density

Mass = 0.0565 Kg,

Density = 900 kg/m³

             = 0.0565 kg/ 900 kg /m³

             = 6.3 × 10^-5 M³

but; 1000 L = 1 m³

Hence, <u>volume = 6.3 × 10^-2 L</u>
