A swimmer of mass 64.38 kg is initially standing still at one end of a log of mass 237 kg which is floating at rest in water. He

runs toward the other end of the log and dives off with a horizontal speed of 3.472 m/s relative to the water. What is the speed of the log relative to water after the swimmer jumps off

Answer:

0.9432 m/s

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass of swimmer;m_s = 64.38 kg

Mass of log; m_l = 237 kg

Velocity of swimmer; v_s = 3.472 m/s

Now, if we consider the first log and the swimmer as our system, then the force between the swimmer and the log and the log and the swimmer are internal forces. Thus, there are no external forces and therefore momentum must be conserved.

So;

Initial momentum = final momentum

m_l × v_l = m_s × v_s

Where v_l is speed of the log relative to water

Making v_l the subject, we have;

v_l = (m_s × v_s)/m_l

Plugging in the relevant values, we have;

v_l = (64.38 × 3.472)/237

v_l = 0.9432 m/s

Minchanka [31]

Answer:

when the direction of the Current changes.

Explanation:

Electromagnet refers to an iron ore wrapped around with a coil of wire, in presence of electric current. As it acts like a magnet, when current is passed through it.

The north & south poles of magnetic fields produced by such magnet, change with direction of current passed through it.

A student shakes a rope such that 20 complete vibrations are made in 4.00 seconds. Determine the vibrational frequency of the ro
fgiga [73]

Answer:

The vibrational frequency of the rope is 5 Hz.

Explanation:

Given;

number of complete oscillation of the rope, n = 20

time taken to make the oscillations, t = 4.00 s

The vibrational frequency of the rope is calculated as follows;

Frequency = \frac{number \ of \ complete \ vibrations}{time \ taken} \\\\Frequency = \frac{20 }{4 \ s} \\\\Frequency = 5 \ Hz

Therefore, the vibrational frequency of the rope is 5 Hz.

Does heating a cup of water allow it to dissolve more sugar? Temperature of the water is measured in degrees Centigrade. Amount
mixas84 [53]

Yes heating water allows it to dissolve more Sugars because the molecular distance increases and this distance can be covered by more sugar. In the given question, The independent variable would be the temperature of water.

Since to whatever temperature the water boils at the boiling temperature of  does not change remains hundred degree. Rest all the variables can vary the weight of the amount of sugar with the variable in the temperature of Boiling of water to remain constant.

Two 4.3546 cm x 4.3546 cm square aluminum electrodes, spaced 0.6408 mm apart are connected to a 73.68 V battery. What is the cap
Helen [10]

Answer:

Capacitance, C = 26.1 picofarad

Explanation:

It is given that,

Side of square, x = 4.3546 cm = 0.043546 m

Distance between electrodes, d = 0.6408 mm = 0.0006408 m

Voltage, V = 73.68 V

Capacitance of parallel plates is given by :

C=\dfrac{\epsilon_oA}{d}

C=\dfrac{8.85\times 10^{-12}\times (0.043546)^2}{0.0006408}

C=2.61\times 10^{-11}\ F

or

C = 26.1 picofarad

So, the capacitance of the capacitor is 26.1 picofarad. Hence, this is the required solution.

3. a) Your body is made up of several simple machines that help you move. Identify three
Alja [10]

Answer:

Explained below

Explanation:

1) The human arm: This is a type of simple machine called "Lever". In this type of machine, the elbow acts as the fulcrum, the palm serves as the load because that's where we place the load we want to carry. While the inner part of the arm which is the inner part of the elbow represents the effort because that is the joint we mover when making use of our arms.

2) Pulleys: An example of this in the human body is the knee cap where the direction of an applied force is changed. Thus means as it is in motion, it alters the direction for which the quadriceps tendon pulls on the tibia.

3) wheel and axle: An example of this in the human body is the lateral rotation of the shoulder joint medial. The humerus which is the bone between the shoulder and elbow will act as the axle while the rotator will be the will because when it is rotated a little bit, the humerus will move along with it.
