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

Two protons are aimed directly toward each other by a cyclotron accelerator with speeds of 1200 km/s , measured relative to the
Radda [10]

Answer:

The maximum electrical force is 2.512\times10^{-2}\ N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed of cyclotron = 1200 km/s

Initially the two protons are having kinetic energy given by

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

When they come to the closest distance the total kinetic energy is converts into potential energy given by

Using conservation of energy

mv^2=\dfrac{kq^2}{r}

r=\dfrac{kq^2}{mv^2}

Put the value into the formula

r=\dfrac{8.99\times10^{9}\times(1.6\times10^{-19})^2}{1.67\times10^{-27}\times(1200\times10^{3})^2}

r=9.57\times10^{-14}\ m

We need to calculate the maximum electrical force

Using formula of force

F=\dfrac{kq^2}{r^2}

F=\dfrac{8.99\times10^{9}\times(1.6\times10^{-19})^2}{(9.57\times10^{-14})^2}

F=2.512\times10^{-2}\ N

Hence, The maximum electrical force is 2.512\times10^{-2}\ N.

Which will have a larger momentum when moving at the same speed: a 2,000-kg truck or a 1,000-kg sedan
Alina [70]

Answer:

2000 kg

Explanation:

Given that Which will have a larger momentum when moving at the same speed: a 2,000-kg truck or a 1,000-kg sedan

According to the definition of momentum, momentum is the product of mass and velocity.

That is,

Momentum = mass × velocity

Since velocity or speed is the same, then, the one of higher mass will have a greater momentum.

Therefore, the 2000 kg truck will have the greater momentum.

When water freezes, its volume increases by 9.05% (that is, equation). What force per unit area is water capable of exerting on
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

1.991 × 10^(8) N/m²

Explanation:

We are told that its volume increases by 9.05%.

Thus; (ΔV/V_o) = 9.05% = 0.0905

To find the force per unit area which is also pressure, we will use bulk modulus formula;

B = Δp(V_o/ΔV)

Making Δp the subject gives;

Δp = B(ΔV/V_o)

Now, B is bulk modulus of water with a value of 2.2 × 10^(9) N/m²

Thus;

Δp = 2.2 × 10^(9)[0.0905]

Δp = 1.991 × 10^(8) N/m²
