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]

Calculate the electric field at one corner of a square 50 cm on a side if the other corners are occupied by 250x10-7C (charges)
SIZIF [17.4K]

The electric field at one corner of a square is 1614217 N/C.

Explanation:

The distance between x and y direction diagonals.

As per the given details the distance between diagonals is calculated as

0.5² + 0.5² = c²  =>  c = 0.707 m

Charge to the right:  In x direction

In order to find the electric charge towards x direction

we use e = kq/r² formula

As 'k' is coulomb's constant it's value is 9 x 10^{9} N m²/C²

e = (9 x 10^{9})(250 x 10^{-7}) / (0.5)²

e = 9 x 10^{5} N/C

Charge diagonal:

e = kq/r²

e = [(9 x 10^{9})(250 x 10^{-7}) / (0.707)²] cos 45

e = 225000√2 N/C

X direction sum = 1218198 N/C.

Similarly as shown in x direction the charge is same for y direction also

Charge below:  For y direction

e = kq/r²

e = (9 x 10^{9})(250 x 10^{-7}) / (0.5)²

e = 9 x 10^{5} N/C

Charge diagonal:

e = kq/r²

e = [(9 x 10^{9})(250 x 10^{-7}) / (0.5)²] sin 45

e = 159099 N/C

Y direction sum = 1059099 N/C

Resultant electric field strength:

1218198 ² + 1059099² = e²

e = 1614217 N/C [45 degrees below the horizontal]

explain why if charge cannot be created or destroyed, electrically neutral objects can become electrically charged
natali 33 [55]
Charge is actually either excessive number or electrons or shortage of them.
as you can't destroy the electron or create it - you can't destroy or create charge

When waves superimpose and make bigger amplitudes what form of interference is that
eimsori [14]

Answer:

Constructive Interference

Explanation:

Constructive Interference occurs when two waves superimpose and make bigger amplitudes.

In constructive interference, the crests of one wave fall on the crests of second wave and the amplitudes add up. The amplitude of the resultant wave is equal to sum of the amplitude of the individual waves. Similarly, the trough of first wave falls on the trough of other wave and they superimpose to create the trough of the resultant wave.

For Example, In the attachment, two waves A and B superimpose and demonstrate Constructive interference to create the wave C.
