A. The momentum of the boat, given the data is 3240 Kg.m/s

B. The new velocity of the boat is 11.93 m/s

<h3>What is momentum? </h3>

Momentum is defined as the product of mass and velocity. It is expressed as

Momentum = mass × velocity

<h3>What is impulse? </h3>

This is defined as the change in momentum of an object.

Impulse = change in momentum

Impulse = final moment – Initial momentum

Imulpse = m(v - u)

<h3>How to determine the momentum</h3>
  • Mass = 540 Kg
  • velocity = 6 m/s
  • Momentum = ?

Momentum = mass × velocity

Momentum = 540 × 6

Momentum = 3240 Kg.m/s

<h3>How to determine the new velocity</h3>
  • Mass = 540 Kg
  • Initial velocity = 6 m/s
  • Impulse = 3200 kg·m/s
  • Final velocity =?

Imulpse = m(v - u)

3200 = 540 × (v - 6)

Divide both sides by 540

v - 6 = 3200 / 540

v - 6 = 5.93

Collect like terms

v = 5.93 + 6

v = 11.93 m/s

A small object of mass 3.82 g and charge -16.5 µC is suspended motionless above the ground when immersed in a uniform electric f
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

2271.16N/C  upward

Explanation:

The diagram well illustrate all the forces acting on the mass. The weight is acting downward and the force is acting upward in other to balance the weight.since the question says it is motionless, then indeed the forces are balanced.

First we determine the downward weight using

W=mg\\g=9.81m/s^{2}

Hence for a mass of 3.82g 0r 0.00382kg we have the weight to be

W=0.00382kg*9.81m/s^{2}

W=0.0375N

To calculate the electric field,

E=f/q\\E=0.0375/16.5*10^{-6} \\E=2271.16N/C

Since the charge on the mass is negative, in order to generate upward force, there must be a like charge below it that is  repelling it, Hebce we can conclude that the electric field lines are upward.

Hence the magnitude of the electric force is 2271.16N/C and the direction is upward

I need help with this

We have here what is known as parallel combination of resistors.

Using the relation:

\frac{1}{ r_{eff} } = \frac{1}{ r_{1} } + \frac{1}{ r_{2} } + \frac{1}{ r_{3} }.. . + \frac{1}{ r_{n} } \\
And then we can turn take the inverse to get the effective resistance.

Where r is the magnitude of the resistance offered by each resistor.

In this case we have,
(every term has an mho in the end)
\frac{1}{10000} + \frac{1}{2000} + \frac{1}{1000} \\ \\ = \frac{1}{1000} ( \frac{1}{10} + \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{1} ) \\ \\ = \frac{1}{1000} ( \frac{31}{20}) \\ \\ = \frac{31}{20000}

To ger effective resistance take the inverse:
we get,
\frac{20000}{31} \: ohm \\ = 645 .16 \: ohm

The potential difference is of 9V.

So the current flowing using ohm's law,

V = IR

will be, 0.0139 Amperes.
