Answer:

20 m/s westward

Explanation:

Taking eastward as positive direction, we have:

v_B = +5 m/s is the velocity of Bill with respect to Amy (which is stationary)

v_C = -15 m/s is the velocity of Carlos with respect to Amy

Bill is moving 5 m/s eastward compared to Amy at rest, so the velocity of Bill's reference frame is

v_B = +5 m/s

Therefore, Carlos velocity in Bill's reference frame will be

v_C' = v_C - v_B = -15 m/s - (+5 m/s) = -20 m/s

and the direction will be westward (negative sign).

You start with spring that's already been stretched an unknown amount from equilibrium. After stretching it an additional 2.0 cm
maxonik [38]

Answer: 35*10^3 N/m

Explanation: In order to explain this problem we know that the potential energy for spring is given by:

Up=1/2*k*x^2 where k is the spring constant and x is the streching or compresion position from the equilibrium point for the spring.

We  also know that with additional streching of 2 cm of teh spring,  the potential energy is 18J. Then it applied another additional streching of 2 cm and the energy is 25J.

Then the difference of energy for both cases is 7 J so:

ΔUp= 1/2*k* (0.02)^2 then

k=2*7/(0.02)^2=35000 N/m

If you are asking what the volume of the cube is it would be 20.3 - 17.5 ml so 2.8 ml.

east is 300+300=600m

west is 600m

A rocket exhausts fuel with a velocity of 1500m/s, relative to the rocket. It starts from rest in outer space with fuel comprisi
babunello [35]

Answer:

v= 2413.5 m/s

Explanation:

maximum change of speed of rocket

=(initial exhaust velocity)×ln [(initialmass/finalmass)]

let initial mass= m

final mass = m-m(4/5) = m/5

[since the 80% of mass which is fuel is exhausted]

V-0 = 1500 ln (1/0.2)

V= 1500×1.609 = 2413.5 m/s

therefore, its exhaust speed v= 2413.5 m/s
