person and the kayak is 75 kg, what is the magnitude of the net force acting on the kayak?

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

If I = 2.0 A in the circuit segment shown below, what is the potential difference VB - VA?

Tom [10]

Answer:

10 V

Explanation:

The potential difference between two points is the amount of work required to carry a unit charge from one point to the other point. This would result in a potential difference between this two points.

The difference between the potential across two points B and A is $V_{BA}=V_B-V_A$

From the image attached:

$V_B-V_A=10-10I+20\\\\But\ I = 2A,hence:\\\\V_B-V_A=10-10(2)+20\\\\V_B-V_A=10-20+20\\\\V_B-V_A=10\ V$

What is one way that continental rifts are similar to mid-ocean ridges and what is one that they are different?

adell [148]

Explanation:

Continental rifts and mid-ocean ridges are both features of a divergent plate margin.

In both cases plates are moving away from one another. Therefore they are creating new land masses.

A continental drift like the east African rift valley is where a continent begins to pull apart or diverges.
A mid-ocean ridge is divergent margin in the ocean.

They are different in that, continental rift occurs within the continental plate that are on land.

But:

Mid-ocean ridges are in the oceanic crust in the ocean . They form the largest physiographic structure on the earth surface called the mid-ocean ridge.

In the Olympic shot-put event, an athlete throws the shot with an initial speed of 12.0m/s at a 40.0? angle from the horizontal.

HACTEHA [7]

A) Horizontal range: 16.34 m

B) Horizontal range: 16.38 m

C) Horizontal range: 16.34 m

D) Horizontal range: 16.07 m

E) The angle that gives the maximum range is $41.9^{\circ}$

Explanation:

A)

The motion of the shot is a projectile motion, so we can analyze separately its vertical motion and its horizontal motion.

The vertical motion is a uniformly accelerated motion, so we can use the following suvat equation to find the time of flight:

$s=u_y t + \frac{1}{2}at^2$ (1)

where

s = -1.80 m is the vertical displacement of the shot to reach the ground (negative = downward)

$u_y = u sin \theta$ is the initial vertical velocity, where

u = 12.0 m/s is the initial speed

$\theta=40.0^{\circ}$ is the angle of projection

So

$u_y=(12.0)(sin 40.0^{\circ})=7.7 m/s$

$a=g=-9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration due to gravity (downward)

Substituting the numbers, we get

$-1.80 = 7.7t -4.9t^2\\4.9t^2-7.7t-1.80=0$

which has two solutions:

t = -0.21 s (negative, we ignore it)

t = 1.778 s (this is the time of flight)

The horizontal motion is instead uniform, so the horizontal range is given by

$d=u_x t$

where

$u_x = u cos \theta=(12.0)(cos 40^{\circ})=9.19 m/s$ is the horizontal velocity

t = 1.778 s is the time of flight

Solving, we find

$d=(9.19)(1.778)=16.34 m$

B)

In this second case,

$\theta=42.5^{\circ}$

So the vertical velocity is

$u_y = u sin \theta = (12.0)(sin 42.5^{\circ})=8.1 m/s$

So the equation for the vertical motion becomes

$4.9t^2-8.1t-1.80=0$

Solving for t, we find that the time of flight is

t = 1.851 s

The horizontal velocity is

$u_x = u cos \theta = (12.0)(cos 42.5^{\circ})=8.85 m/s$

So, the range of the shot is

$d=u_x t = (8.85)(1.851)=16.38 m$

C)

In this third case,

$\theta=45^{\circ}$

So the vertical velocity is

$u_y = u sin \theta = (12.0)(sin 45^{\circ})=8.5 m/s$

So the equation for the vertical motion becomes

$4.9t^2-8.5t-1.80=0$

Solving for t, we find that the time of flight is

t = 1.925 s

The horizontal velocity is

$u_x = u cos \theta = (12.0)(cos 45^{\circ})=8.49 m/s$

So, the range of the shot is

$d=u_x t = (8.49)(1.925)=16.34$ m

D)

In this 4th case,

$\theta=47.5^{\circ}$

So the vertical velocity is

$u_y = u sin \theta = (12.0)(sin 47.5^{\circ})=8.8 m/s$

So the equation for the vertical motion becomes

$4.9t^2-8.8t-1.80=0$

Solving for t, we find that the time of flight is

t = 1.981 s

The horizontal velocity is

$u_x = u cos \theta = (12.0)(cos 47.5^{\circ})=8.11 m/s$

So, the range of the shot is

$d=u_x t = (8.11)(1.981)=16.07 m$

E)

From the previous parts, we see that the maximum range is obtained when the angle of releases is $\theta=42.5^{\circ}$ .

The actual angle of release which corresponds to the maximum range can be obtained as follows:

The equation for the vertical motion can be rewritten as

$s-u sin \theta t + \frac{1}{2}gt^2=0$

The solutions of this quadratic equation are

$t=\frac{u sin \theta \pm \sqrt{u^2 sin^2 \theta+2gs}}{-g}$

This is the time of flight: so, the horizontal range is

$d=u_x t = u cos \theta (\frac{u sin \theta \pm \sqrt{u^2 sin^2 \theta+2gs}}{-g})=\\=\frac{u^2}{-2g}(1+\sqrt{1+\frac{2gs}{u^2 sin^2 \theta}})sin 2\theta$

It can be found that the maximum of this function is obtained when the angle is

$\theta=cos^{-1}(\sqrt{\frac{2gs+u^2}{2gs+2u^2}})$

Therefore in this problem, the angle which leads to the maximum range is

$\theta=cos^{-1}(\sqrt{\frac{2(-9.8)(-1.80)+(12.0)^2}{2(-9.8)(-1.80)+2(12.0)^2}})=41.9^{\circ}$
