A 60-kilogram man holding a 20-kilogram box rides on a skateboard at a speed of positive 7 meters per second. He throws the box

behind him, giving it a velocity of negative 5 meters per second, with respect to the ground. What is his velocity, in meters per second, after throwing the object?

Answer:

v_1=11\ m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the man, m₁ = 60 kg

Mass of the box, m₂ = 20 kg

Speed of man+ box, V = +7 m/s

Speed of the box, when it was thrown, v₂ = -5 m/s

To find,

Velocity of the man after throwing the box

Solution,

Let v₁ be the velocity of the man after throwing the box. By using the conservation of momentum, it can be calculated.

(m_1+m_2)V=m_1v_1+m_2v_2

(60+20)\times 7=60\times v_1+20\times (-5)

v_1=11\ m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the man after throwing the object is 11 m/s towards his initial direction.

yan [13]

Answer:

Time = 0.58 seconds

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Initial momentum = 3 kgm/s

Final momentum = 10 kgm/s

Force = 12 N

To find the time required for the change in momentum;

First of all, we would determine the change in momentum.

Change \; in \; momentum = final \; momentum - initial \; momentum

Change \; in \; momentum = 10 - 3

Change in momentum = 7 kgm/s

Now, we can find the time required;

Note: the impulse of an object is equal to the change in momentum experienced by the object.

Mathematically, impulse (change in momentum) is given by the formula;

Impulse = force * time

Making "time" the subject of formula, we have;

Time = \frac {impulse}{force}

Substituting into the formula, we have;

Time = \frac {7}{12}

Time = 0.58 seconds

Similarities and differences between high pitch and low pitch
umka2103 [35]
You can hear a difference between these two sounds. That is because their pitch isdifferent. Pitch depends on the frequency of a sound wave. ... High sounds have highfrequencies and low sounds have lowfrequencies.
