Use conservation of momentum.

Initial momentum = 0

Final momentum = momentum of the girl + momentum of the boy = inifial momentum = 0.

Momentum of the girl = - momentum of the boy

mass of the girl * velocity of the girl = - mass of the boy * velocity of the boy

50 kg * velocity of the girl = - 80 kg * 3m/s

=> velocity of the girls = -80 kg * 3m/s / 50 kg = - 4.8 m/s

Answer: - 4.8 m/s

A relatively small impact crater 20 kilometers in diameter could be made by a comet 2 kilometers in diameter traveling at 25 km/
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

KE=1.3\times 10^{21}\ J

KE=3.1\times 10^{5}\ E

Explanation:

(a)

Given:

  • mass of comet, m=4.2\times 10^{12}\ kg
  • velocity of the comet, v=2.5\times 10^4\ m.s^{-1}

<u>Now, the kinetic energy of the comet can be given by:</u>

KE=\frac{1}{2} m.v^2

KE=0.5\times 4.2\times 10^{12}\times (2.5\times 10^4)^2

KE=1.3\times 10^{21}\ J

(b)

Given:

  • energy released by 1 megaton of TNT, E=4.2\times 10^{15}\ J

<u>Now the kinetic energy of the comet in terms of energy of 1 megaton TNT:</u>

KE=\frac{1.3\times 10^{21}}{4.2\times 10^{15}} E

i.e.

KE=3.1\times 10^{5}\ E

Classify each possible hypothesis about a medicinal aloe vera plant as falsifiable or non-falsifiable.
pychu [463]

Answer:

Aloe vera is a succulent plant species ( with fleshy water storing tissue) belonging to the genus Aloe.

It is used in many products ( including beverages, cosmetic products as gel, medicinal ointments). Its juice is quite bitter in taste. It is known to be the best skin moisturizer and can be used for healing wounds by enhancing the renewal of damaged cells. It is also used as an anticarcinogen, thus reduces the chances of cancer.

Thus, the given hypothesis can be classified as  falsifiable ( which is proven wrong) or non-falsifiable ( which is proven right) in the following way-

Falsifiable-

Aloe vera juice tastes  better than carrot juice.

Non Falsifiable-

Aloe vera gel is the best  natural skin moisturizer.

Aloe vera gel can heal  wounds by boosting  cell renewal.

Drinking aloe juice can  reduce the risk of lung  cancer.

For a snowboard jumper in the air, what force or forces will be most important for modeling the motion?
Reptile [31]

Answer: Gravitational force and drag force

Explanation:

For a snowboard jumper in the air, two forces would be acting. One in the downward direction- the gravitational pull and second in the opposite direction to the motion, the drag force due to air. If the snowboard jumper jumps in the air at a certain angle with the horizontal. The forces are written as the sum of vertical and horizontal components. Hence, for the modeling the motion, gravitational force and drag force are important,

How are wave properties and energy related?<br> EXPLAIN
dexar [7]

Answer:

The higher the amplitude, the higher the energy. To summarise, waves carry energy. The amount of energy they carry is related to their frequency and their amplitude. The higher the frequency, the more energy, and the higher the amplitude, the more energy.
