Well, you see, I don't think Alana really is the reference frame.
Call me paranoid, but I think you changed the reference frame
during the question, and didn't tell us.

In which reference frame is the 19 km/hr measured ?
It CAN'T be Alana's reference frame. Your own reference
frame moves along with you, and you can't move in it, even
if your name is Alana.

If Alana is the reference frame, and she throws the tennis ball
at 11 km/hr, then the speed of the ball is 11 km/hr in Alana's
reference frame. Her reference frame moves with her, so
it makes no difference how fast she is skateboarding in any
other reference frame, who she throws the ball at, or whether
or not he sees it coming and catches it.

Yes, this stuff can get confusing. And if you think it's bad now,
wait till you start reading some of Prof. Einstein's stuff, where
two people in the same reference frame can watch the same
tennis ball, and not even agree on how fast it's moving, because
THEY're both moving and their own motion makes their rulers
and clocks change ! So they measure different speeds, and
they're both right !

But I got distracted. I'm sorry. The point I'm trying to make,
right now when you're just starting to learn reference frames,
is that EVERY time you say a speed, you have to tell which
reference frame the speed is in. Because, as you're starting
to learn, the same object can have a different speed in every
reference frame.

And, just in case you're thinking about this later today
and you want to ask "Which one is the REAL speed ?" . . .
THAT's the whole point of learning about reference frames !
There is NO SUCH THING as REAL speed. It ALWAYS
depends on which reference frame it's measured in. They're
all different, they're all real, and they're all correct.

The first thing we must do for this case is to define a frame of reference.

We know that, the frame of reference for this case is Alana.

Therefore, the tennis ball has a speed relative to Alana.

The speed relative to Alana, is the same speed with which Alana throws the tennis ball.

Therefore, the speed of the tennis ball is:

v = 11 Km/h

The speed of the tennis ball is:

v = 11 Km/h

Consider an ordinary, helium-filled party balloon with a volume of 2.2 ft3. the lifting force on the balloon due to the outside air is the net resultant of the pressure distribution exerted on the exterior surface of the balloon. using this fact, we can derive archimedes’ principle, namely that the upward force on the balloon is equal to the weight of the air displaced by the balloon. assuming that the balloon is at sea level, where the air density is 0.002377 slug/ft3, calculate the maximum weight that can be lifted by the balloon. note: the molecular weight of air is 28.8 and that of helium is 4.

Clothing made of several thin layers of fabric with trapped air in between, often called ski clothing, is commonly used in cold climates because it is light, fashionable, and a very effective thermal insulator. so it is no surprise that such clothing has largely replaced thickand heavy old-fashioned coats. (a) consider a jacket made of five layers of 0.1-mm-thick synthetic fabric (k = 0.13 w/m·°c) with 1.5-mm-thick air space (k = 0.026 w/m·°c) between the layers. assuming the inner surface temperature of the jacket to be 28°c and the surface area to be 1.25 m2, determine the rate of heat loss through the jacket when the temperature of the outdoors is 0°c and the heat transfer coefficient at the outer surface is 25 w/m2·°c. (b) what would your response be if the jacket is made of a single layer of 0.5-mm-thick synthetic fabric? what should be the thickness of a wool fabric (k = 0.035 w/m·°c) if the person is to achieve the same level of thermal comfort wearing a thick wool coat instead of a five-layer ski jacket?

Air is contained in a variable-load piston-cylinder device equipped with a paddle wheel. initially, air is at 400 kpa and 17°c. the paddle wheel is now turned by an external electric motor until 75 kj/kg of work has been transferred to air. during this process, heat is transferred to maintain a constant air temperature while allowing the gas volume to triple. calculate the required amount of heat transfer in kj/kg.
