Answer:

vps = vbr + vrs - vpb

Explanation:

  • If the passenger were at rest, his speed relative to the shore will be identical to the boat's, as follows:
  • vps = vbr + vrs
  • As he is moving in a direction opposite to the boat's, his velocity relative to the shore must be less than if he were at rest, in the same quantity that he was moving opposite to the boat, as follows:
  • vps = vbr+ vrs -vpb

A roller coaster car drops a maximum vertical distance of 35.4 m. Determine the maximum speed of the car at the bottom of that d
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

The maximum speed of the car at the bottom of that drop is 26.34 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

The maximum vertical distance covered by the roller coaster, h = 35.4 m

We need to find the maximum speed of the car at the bottom of that drop. It is a case of conservation of energy. The energy at bottom is equal to the energy at top such that :

mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

v=\sqrt{2gh}

v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 35.4}

v = 26.34 m/s

So, the maximum speed of the car at the bottom of that drop is 26.34 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

A satellite completes one revolution of a planet in almost exactly one hour. At the end of one hour, the satellite has traveled
sesenic [268]
Velocity =

(distance between start point and end point, regardless of the route traveled) / (time spent traveling).

That distance (called the "displacement"), is 10 meters, and almost exactly 1 hour is almost exactly 3,600 seconds. So the numerical value of the velocity during that time is

(10) / (3,600) = almost exactly 0.00278 m/s

= 2.78 x 10^-3 m/s.

A 10 kg package is delivered to your house. Use one complete sentence to describe an example of how work is done on the package
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

Hey :)

Explanation:

Work is a net force applied through a distance in order to displace an object, commonly abbreviated as W.  A net force is the sum of all forces acting on an object. Work is mass times acceleration and distance so to find out the work you simply calculate the acceleration of the box being brought in. Next find the distance it was carried to get in the house. Then find out the mas of the box and finally multiply those sums together to get the amount of work put in to bring the package inside.

hope this helps :) xo
