A 60.0 kg girl stands up on a stationary floating raft and decides to go into shore. She dives off the 180 kg floating raft with

a velocity of 4.0 m/s [W]. Ignore the substantial friction real objects in water experience.
A) What is the momentum of the girl as she is diving?
B) What is the momentum of raft as the girl is diving?
C) What is the final speed of the raft just after the girl dives?

Momentum, p = m.v
m of the girl = 60.0 kg
m of the boat = 180 kg
v of the girl = 4.0 m/s

A) Momentum of the girl as she is diving:
p = m.v = 60.0 kg * 4.0 m/s = 24.0 N/s

B) momentum of the raft = - momentum of the girl = -24.0 N/s

C) speed of the raft

p = m.v ; v = p/m = 24.0N/s / 180 kg = -0.13 m/s [i.e. in the opposite direction of the girl's velocity]

The image shows a model of the gravitational field around Earth. Which best describes the model?
GuDViN [60]

<u>Answer: The model is described by :</u>

The strength of the field increases as you get closer to Earth, as shown by the smaller spaces between the circles.

Explanation :

According to universal gravitational law, the force acting in the universe between two objects is given by :

F=G\dfrac{m_1m_2}{r^2}

It is clear that the gravitational force depends directly on the product of masses and inversely on the square of the distance between them.

The given image shows a model of the gravitational field around Earth. The arrows in the image show the direction of the force. Gravitational field depends on the position of objects.

As we move closer to the earth, the force increases and hence the field increase.

So, the correct option is (D) " The strength of the field increases as you get closer to Earth, as shown by the smaller spaces between the circles ".

A certain tuning fork vibrates at a frequency of 215 Hz while each tip of its two prongs has an amplitude of 0.832 mm. (a) What
Marysya12 [62]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Frequency of vibration, f = 215 Hz

Amplitude, A = 0.832 mm

(a) Let T is the period of this motion. It is given by the following relation as :

T=\dfrac{1}{f}

T=\dfrac{1}{215}

T=4.65\times 10^{-3}\ s

(b) Speed of sound in air, v = 343 m/s

It can be given by :

v=f\times \lambda

\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}

\lambda=\dfrac{343\ m/s}{215\ Hz}

\lambda=1.59\ m

Hence, this is the required solution.

wite a paragraph explaining the difference between things that have matter and things that don't have matter.
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer: Matter is how much space or opacity an object takes up. In short anything that take up space. Things like balls, trees, and even people are all made of matter. Mass is how much matter a object has. Air also has mass also, even though we can't see it. Things like cars, buildings, even planets have mass.

Explanation: Paragraphs are sometimes 4-6 sentences.

The atoms in a solid move about freely
ivolga24 [154]

No, not exactly.  They jiggle and tremble and vibrate a lot, but
they always basically stay in very nearly the same place.

It's like if you're allowed to go anywhere you want in your jail cell,
you wouldn't exactly call that "moving about freely".
