The figure below shows a man in a boat on a lake. The man's mass is 74 kg, and the boat's is 135 kg. The man and boat are initia

lly at rest when the man throws a package of mass m = 15 kg horizontally to the right with a speed of vi = 5.0 m/s.
What is the velocity of the boat after the package is thrown? Neglect any resistance force from the water. (Give the magnitude in m/s, and select the correct direction from the options given.)

The velocity of the boat after the package is thrown is 0.36 m/s.

<h3>Final velocity of the boat</h3>

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum;

Pi = Pf

where;

  • Pi is initial momentum
  • Pf is final momentum

v(74 + 135) = 15 x 5

v(209) = 75

v = 75/209

v = 0.36 m/s

Thus, the velocity of the boat after the package is thrown is 0.36 m/s.

A student writes, "A bird that is diving for prey has a speed of − 10 m /s ." What is wrong with the student's statement? What h
kompoz [17]

Answer:

Speed is a scalar quantity it has only magnitude. So in the given scenario the student actually described about the velocity.

Explanation:

In this situation, student is describing that the speed is -10 m/s. The speed with the negative sign is wrong because speed is a scalar quantity and scalar quantities have only magnitude, they do not have direction. So, his statement is wrong because he is describing the speed with the negative sign.

And also we know that velocity is a vector quantity, so it has magnitude as well as direction also. So in this situation, the student is actually want to describe the velocity because he is mentioning the magnitude in a particular direction.

The same net force is applied to two bodies. The first body acquires half of the acceleration of the second body. What is the re
Yanka [14]

The mass of the first body is double the mass of the second body.

This all revolves around Newtons 2nd law of motion that states F=m*a.

If we understand that body one has the same force applied but half of the acceleration than body two, we can easily understand that it has to do something with the objects mass. This is because mass and acceleration in newtons 2nd law are inversely proportional. This means if and objects force stays the same, but it’s mass doubles, then the acceleration must be half its original value. And if the acceleration doubles and the force stays constant than the mass must have halved from its original value. It sounds quite complicated but it’s very simple. Hopefully this helps!!!

Which element of a valid contract is established by getting the signatures of all parties?
sweet [91]

The element of a valid contract which is established by getting the signatures of all parties is <u>mutual agreement</u>

<h3>What is an element of a valid contract?</h3>

An element of a valid contract simply refers to that promise made between two or more parties that which allow the courts to make judgement.

Some elements of valid contract are:

  • Offer
  • Acceptance
  • Consideration
  • Intention to create legal relation
  • Certainty and capacity.

So therefore, the element of a valid contract which is established by getting the signatures of all parties is mutual agreement

A scientist reports a measurement of the temperature of the surface of a newly discovered planet is -20 K. What conclusion can y
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

Option B. The planet is a very way from the center or the Sun.

Explanation:

If the surface temperature of the newly formed planet is - 20 K that means the distance of the planet from the sun in greater.

If we look at the temperature trends of the planets in our solar system, the planets closer to the sun like  Mercury, Venus have very high surface temperature but as we move move away from the the center of the solar system, i.e., Sun, the temperature goes on decreasing.
