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).

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The answer is Niels Bohr's planetary model, the difference between this model and all of the other models is that the Bohr's PM Is more of layers of

Nucleus - Protons and Neutrons

Electron Orbital - Period 1 Elements

2 electrons

Electron Orbital - Period 2 Elements

8 electrons

Electron Orbital - Period 3 Elements

8 electrons

If that made sense-

If sulfur 34 undergoes alpha decay, what will I become?
ikadub [295]
It will decay into Silicon-30. Because alpha particles are 2 protons and 2 neutrons with an atomic mass of 4, you minus sulfur's atomic number by 2 and get silicon. And the atomic mass is 34 - 4 which equals 30.

Dragsters can actually reach a top speed of 145.0 m/s in only 4.45 s. (a) Calculate the average acceleration for such a dragster
astraxan [27]

Answer:

a) 32.58 m/s²

b) 161.84 m/s

Explanation:

Initial velocity = u = 0

Final velocity = v = 145 m/s

Time taken = t = 4.45 s

s = Displacement of dragster = 402 m

a = Acceleration

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v-u}{t}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{145-0}{4.45}\\\Rightarrow a=32.58\ m/s^2

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2as-u^2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 32.58\times 402-0^2}\\\Rightarrow v=161.84\ m/s

The final velocity is greater than the velocity used to find the average acceleration due to the gear changes. The first gear in a dragster has the most amount of toque which means the acceleration will be maximum. The final gears have less torque which means the acceleration is lower here. The final gears have less acceleration but can spin faster which makes the dragster able to reach higher speeds but slowly.
