Aboy is pulling a toy wagon through a neighborhood at a speed of 0.75 m/s. a caterpillar in the wagon is crawling toward the rear of the wagon at a rate of 2.0 cm/s. what is the caterpillar’s velocity relative to the ground?

0.73 m/s in the forward direction

Explanation:

The caterpillar's velocity relative to the ground is given by:

where

is the velocity of the wagon with respect to the ground

v is the velocity of the caterpillar in the wagon's reference frame

In this situation we have

where the negative sign is due to the fact that the caterpillar is moving backward

Substituting,

the moon affects the earth gravitation ally, causing certain motions of that body and also producing tides in its ocean and atmosphere. the tidal wave in our atmosphere is, however, far too minute to be an effective cause in any known meteorological phenomenon.

explanation:

double the distance = divide strength by 4
