An ice boat is coasting along a frozen lake. Friction between the ice and the boat is negligible, and so is air resistance. Noth

ing is propelling the boat. From a bridge someone jumps straight down and lands in the boat, which continues to coast straight ahead. (a) Does the horizontal momentum of the boat change? (b) Does the speed of the boat increase, decrease, or remain the same? Explain.

Answer:

(A) No

(B) Speed decreases

Explanation:

(A) since there is nothing propelling the boat and the friction between the ice and the boat and also air resistance is negligible the net force of the system in the horizontal direction is zero and hence there is no change in the horizontal momentum of the boat.

(B) Since the person had not velocity in the horizontal direction before landing on the boat but now has one after landing on the boat, the speed of the boat will decrease because the momentum has to be conserved (remember there is no change in it).

A car is rounding a 100-m-radius curve at 25 m/s.What is the minimum possible coefficient of static friction between the tires a
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

The minimum possible coefficient of static friction between the tires and the ground is 0.64.

Explanation:

if the μ is the coefficient of static friction and R is radius of the curve and v is the speed of the car then, one thing we know is that along the curve, the frictional force, f will be equal to the centripedal force, Fc and this relation is :

Fc = f

m×(v^2)/(R) = μ×m×g

    (v^2)/(R) = g×μ

               μ = (v^2)/(R×g)

                  =  ((25)^2)/((100)×(9.8))

                  = 0.64

Therefore, the minimum possible coefficient of static friction between the tires and the ground is 0.64.

On which date is the gravitational force between Earth and the moon the greatest?
Genrish500 [490]

The gravitational forces between the Earth and Moon are greatest when the two bodies are closest together. That happens every 27.32 days, when the Moon is at the perigee of its orbit.

Even if this happened at the same time in every orbit, the date would change, because there are not 27.32 days in a month.

But it doesn't happen at the same time in every orbit ... the Moon's perigee precesses around its orbit, on account of the gravitational forces toward the Earth, the Sun, Venus, Mars, and the other planets.

At what speed do a bicycle and its rider, with a combined mass of 100 kg , have the same momentum as a 1600 kg car traveling at
noname [10]
Given:\\m_b=100kg\\m_c=1600kg\\v_c=5.2 \frac{m}{s} \\p_b=p_c\\\\Find:\\v_b=?\\\\Solution:\\\\p_b=p_c\\\\p=mv\\\\m_bv_b=m_cv_c\Rightarrow v_b= \frac{m_cv_c}{m_b} \\\\v_b= \frac{1600kg\cdot5.2 \frac{m}{s}  }{100kg} =83.2 \frac{m}{s}
