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.

To calibrate the calorimeter electrically, a constant voltage of 3.6 V is applied and a current of 2.6 A flows for a period of 3
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

372.3 J/^{\circ}C

Explanation:

First of all, we need to calculate the total energy supplied to the calorimeter.

We know that:

V = 3.6 V is the voltage applied

I = 2.6 A is the current

So, the power delivered is

P=VI=(3.6)(2.6)=9.36 W

Then, this power is delivered for a time of

t = 350 s

Therefore, the energy supplied is

E=Pt=(9.36)(350)=3276 J

Finally, the change in temperature of an object is related to the energy supplied by

E=C\Delta T

where in this problem:

E = 3276 J is the energy supplied

C is the heat capacity of the object

\Delta T =29.1^{\circ}-20.3^{\circ}=8.8^{\circ}C is the change in temperature

Solving for C, we find:

C=\frac{E}{\Delta T}=\frac{3276}{8.8}=372.3 J/^{\circ}C

Light waves travel in straight lines in all directions from the source of the light, unless
Ainat [17]

A.  the medium through which the light travels changes.

Explanation:

Light waves will continue to travel in a straight line in all directions from their source unless the medium through which the light travels changes.

A change in medium causes light to exhibit different properties. Also, when light hits an obstacle, they can be diffracted.

  • The way light travels on crossing a boundary differs.
  • At the boundary between two medium, light can either be reflected back or refracted when they cross the medium
  • This will cause the light rays to bend towards or away from the normal depending on the properties of the medium.

A basketball player spins the ball with an angular acceleration of 10 rad/s2. What is the ball’s final angular velocity if the b
Lena [83]

Explanation:

It is given that,

The angular acceleration of the basketball, \alpha=10\ rad/s^2

Time taken, t = 3 seconds

We need to find the ball’s final angular velocity if the ball starts from rest. It can be calculated using definition of angular acceleration i.e.

\alpha=\dfrac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{t}

\omega_i=0\ (rest)

\omega_f=\alpha t

\omega_f=10\ rad/s^2\times 3\ s

\omega=30\ rad/s

So, the ball's final angular velocity is 30 rad/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
