A person in a kayak starts paddling, and it accelerates from 0 to 0.65 m/s in a distance of 0.40 m. If the combined mass of the

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

Magnitude of the net force acting on the kayak = 39.61 N

Explanation:

Considering motion of kayak:-

Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

Distance , s = 0.40 m

Final velocity, v = 0.65 m/s

We have equation of motion v² = u² + 2as

Substituting

v² = u² + 2as

0.65² = 0² + 2 x a x 0.4

a = 0.53 m/s²

We have force, F = ma

Mass, m = 75 kg

F = ma = 75 x 0.53 = 39.61 N

Magnitude of the net force acting on the kayak = 39.61 N

A river flows due east with a speed of 3.00 m/s relative to earth. The river is 80.0 m wide. A woman starts at the southern bank

babymother [125]

Answer:

48 m

Explanation:

As she travels at the rate of 5m/s due north, the amount of time it would take for her to cross the 80m wide river would be

t = 80 / 5 = 16 seconds

This is also the time it takes for the river to push her to the east side at the rate of 3m/s. So after 16 seconds, she would reach the opposite point at a horizontal distance from her starting of

s = 16*3 = 48 m

From a cliff 37.6 m high. At the level of the sea, a rock sticks out a horizontal distance of 12.12 m. The acceleration of gravi

Aleks [24]

Answer:

4.3 m/sec

Explanation:

Here height of cliff = y = 37.6 m

Gravitational acceleration = g = 9.8 m/sec2

vi = 0 m/s

Let's find the time which the diver will take if jumps from there!

Using formula

y = vit+1/2gt2

==> 37.6= 0 + 0.5 ×9.8× $t^{2}$

==> $t^{2}$ = $\frac{37.6}{4.9}$

==> t = 2.8 sec

In this time the diver has to cover a horizontal distance of 12.12 m

If x = 12.12 m is the horizontal distance to be covered then using

x= Vx × t

==> Vx = x/t

==> Vx= 12.12/2.8 = 4.3 m/s

Two objects that are not initially in thermal equilibrium are placed in close contact. After a while, the temperature of the cod

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

If the temperature of the colder object rises by the same amount as the temperature of the hotter object drops, then the specific heats of both objects will be equal.

Explanation:

If the temperature of the colder object rises by the same amount as the temperature of the hotter object drops when the two objects of same mass are brought into contact, then their specific heat capacity is equal.

We can prove this by the equation of heat for the two bodies:

According to given condition,

$\Delta T_1=\Delta T_2$

$\frac{Q_1}{m_1.c_1} = \frac{Q_2}{m_2.c_2}$

when there is no heat loss from the system of two bodies then $Q_1=Q_2$

$\frac{1}{m.c_1} =\frac{1}{m.c_2}$

$\Rightarrow c_1=c_2$

Thermal conductivity is ultimately affects the rate of heat transfer, however the bodies will attain their final temperature based upon their mass and their specific heat capacities.

The temperature of the colder object will rise twice as much as the temperature of the hotter object only in two cases:

when the specific heat of the colder object is half the specific heat of the hotter object while mass is equal for both.

the mass of colder object is half the mass of the hotter object while their specific heat is same.
