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.

What is the acceleration of a Ford Mustang GT that can go from 0.00 to 27.8<br> m/s in 5.15 seconds?
bixtya [17]
Finding acceleration= final speed-initial speed/time taken (or A=V-U\T)

Finial speed= 27.8s
Initial speed= 0s
Time taken= 5.15

So..

27.8-0/5.15= 5.40m/s (rounded to two decimal places)

While doing a lab, a student found the density of a piece of pure aluminum to be 2.85 g/cm3. The accepted value for the density
bezimeni [28]
The equation for percent error is

% Error = 100*|Experimental-Theoretical|/Theoretical

Our experimental is 2.85g/cm^3 and the accepted is 2.7g/cm^3

Thus our % Error = 5.555%

7. Two bikes travelling in the same direction move at a speed of 30 km/hr. The bikes are separated by a distance of 5 km. What w
Fantom [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

Call the bike on the right A

Call the bike on the left B

The car begins it's time when it passes A

4 minutes later, it passes B.

But B has moved in 4 minutes and that is the key to the problem.

How far has B moved.

t = 4 minutes = 4/60 hours = 1/15 of an hour.

d = ?

rate = 30 km / hr

d = r * t

d = 30 km/hr * 1/15 hours = 2 km

The distance between the bikes is 5 km.

So the car has traveled 5 - 2 = 3 km

d = 3 km

r = ?

t = 4 minutes = 1/15 hour

r = d/t = 3/(1/15)= 3 / 0.066666666  = 45 km/hr.

Briefly explain the two postulates of relativity, how they differed from classical physics, and why Einstein was led to propose
Ray Of Light [21]

Explanation:

The two postulates of special theory of relativity

Postulate 1: The law of physics are invariant under any of inertial frame of reference.

Postulate 2: The velocity of light is remains same in each ans every frame of reference and independent of relativity.

They are differ from classical mechanics that in classical mechanics there is no change in mass and length in relative velocity but in relativistic mechanics it changes.

These two postulates implements in phenomenon like time dilation , length contraction etc.

Thanks
