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

Assume that the equator of the Earth is 24,000 miles long (that’s its circumference). Now, pretend that you are standing somewhe
slega [8]

Answer:

1000 mph

Explanation:

P = Perimeter = 24000 mi

r = Radius of the equator

t = Time taken to complete one rotation = 24 h

Perimeter of a circle is given by

P=2\pi r\\\Rightarrow r=\dfrac{P}{2\pi}\\\Rightarrow r=\dfrac{24000}{2\pi}\ mi

Angular speed is given by

\omega=\dfrac{2\pi}{t}\\\Rightarrow \omega=\dfrac{2\pi}{24}

Velocity if given by

v=r\omega\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{24000}{2\pi}\times \dfrac{2\pi}{24}\\\Rightarrow v=1000\ mph

The person would be going at a speed of 1000 mph

A car is traveling at a speed of 38.0 m/s on an interstate highway where the speed limit is 75.0 mi/h. Is the driver exceeding t
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

yes driver exceed the car speed

Explanation:

given data

speed of car = 38 m/s

speed limit = 75.0 mi/h

to find out

Is the driver exceeding the speed limit

solution

we know car speed is 38 m/s and limit is 75 mi/hr

so for compare the speed limit we convert limit and make them same

as we know

1 m/s = 2.236 mi/hr

so

car speed 38 m/s = 38 × 2.236 = 85.003 mi/hr

as this car speed is exceed the speed limit that is 75 mi/hr

yes driver exceed the car speed
