Two campers dock a canoe. One camper has a mass of 100.0 kg and moves forward at 3.0 m/s as he leaves the canoe to step onto the

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

The combined speed of camper and canoe is 1.71 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of camper 1, m = 100 kg

Speed of camper 1, v = 3 m/s

The combined mass of another camper and canoe is, M = 175 kg

We need to find the combined speed of camper and canoe. According to the conservation of linear momentum, the momentum of first camper is equal to linear momentum of the canoe and the second camper.

$mv=MV\\\\V=\dfrac{mv}{M}\\\\V=\dfrac{100\times 3}{175}\\\\V=1.71\ m/s$

So, the combined speed of camper and canoe is 1.71 m/s.

The force that contributed to the formation of planets, determines the motion of bodies in the solar system, and pulls objects t

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

The force of gravity

Explanation:

Gravity was studied, by early scientists such as Copernicus and others, Galileo was the first to ensure that planets moved according to a physical equation that depended on a force that caused celestial bodies to move and interact with each other. But years later Newton based on studies conducted deciphering what Galileo assumed, he was able to find the equation of the force of gravity in any body in the universe. This equation depends on the masses of the two interacting bodies, the distance between them and a constant, which I call universal gravitation constant.

$F_{g}=G*\frac{m_{1}*m_{2}}{r^2}$

Fg = gravity force [N]

G = universal gravitation constant = 6.67*10^(-11) [N*m^2/kg^2]

m1 = mass of the 1st body [kg]

m2 = mass of the 2nd body [kg]

r = distance between the bodies [meters]

Consider a river flowing toward a lake at an average velocity of 3 m/s at a rate of 500m3/sat a location 90 m above the lake sur

olga_2 [115]

Answer:

mechanical energy per unit mass is 887.4 J/kg

power generated is 443.7 MW

Explanation:

given data

average velocity = 3 m/s

rate = 500 m³/s

height h = 90 m

to find out

total mechanical energy and power generation potential

solution

we know that mechanical energy is sum of potential energy and kinetic energy

E = $\frac{1}{2}$ ×m×v² + m×g×h .............1

and energy per mass unit is

E/m = $\frac{1}{2}$ ×v² + g×h

put here value

E/m = $\frac{1}{2}$ ×3² + 9.81×90

E/m = 887.4 J/kg

so mechanical energy per unit mass is 887.4 J/kg

and

power generated is express as

power generated = energy per unit mass ×rate×density

power generated = 887.4× 500× 1000

power generated = 443700000

so power generated is 443.7 MW

Planets A and B have the same mass, but planet A is half the size of planet B.

pychu [463]

Answer:

c. You would weigh less on planet A because the distance between

you and the planet's center of gravity would be smaller.

Explanation:

The statement that best describes your weight on each planet is that you would weigh less on planet A because the distance between you and the planet's center of gravity would be smaller.

This is based on Newton's law of universal gravitation which states that "the force of gravity between two bodies is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distances between them".

Since weight is dependent on the force of gravity and mass, the planet with more gravitational pull will have masses on them weighing more.

Since the distance between the person and the center of the planet is smaller, therefore, the weight will be lesser.
