Some kids are playing by rolling a skateboard across level ground beside a 0.75 m high wall. The goal is to drop from the wall v

ertically downward onto the skateboard as it passes by. A 45 kg kid manages to land on the 4.5 kg skateboard as it is passing by at 8 m/s, and they move off together horizontally. If the kid is able to stay on, what will be the speed of the kid and skateboard together

Answer:

The speed of the kid and the skateboard together is 0.723 m/s

Explanation:

Let the mass of the kid be m_{k} = 45 kg

Let the mass of the skateboard be m_{s} = 4,5 kg

The initial speed of the skateboard, v_{s} = 8 m/s

The initial horizontal speed of the boy as he jumps on the skateboard, v_{k} = 0 m/s

Let the speed of the kid and the skateboard together be v

According to the principle of conservation of momentum:

m_{k} v_{k} + m_{s} v_{s} = (m_{k} + m_{s}) v

Substituting the appropriate values into  the given equation

(45*0) + (4.5*8) = (45 + 4.8) v

36 = 49.8 v

v = 36/49.8

v = 0.723 m/s

The half-life of carbon-14 is 5730 years. how long will it take for 7/8 of a sample of carbon-14 to decay
wlad13 [49]
The half life of Carbon-14 is 5730 years, how many years would it take for 7/8 of the original amount to decay? 

<span>Can somebody please help with this problem. I *think* I understand the basics of what a half life is. If I learned correctly, its the amount it takes for half of a sample to decay. It should also happen exponentially, 1/2 remaining after one half life, 1/4 after the second, 1/16 after the third etc. I'm still a little shaky though. Could somebody please clarify what exactly a half life is and how it can be determined (i.e. how to find the time it would take for 7/8 to decay) </span>

Estimate humanity’s current consumption of energy in one day (in Joule).
Alex73 [517]

Based on data from world energy consumption, the estimated humanity’s current consumption of energy in one day is above 208 million joules per day.

<h3>What is energy consumption?</h3>

Energy is the ability to do work. Therefore, energy consumption refers to the amount of energy used to do work.

Humans need energy for various purposes such as;

  • lighting
  • heating
  • operation of machines
  • feeding, etc.

Due to rapid growth on population as well as technology, the human energy consumption is on the increase.

In 2020, the world primary energy consumption was 71,4 GJ per person for a world population of about 7.7 billion people.

Therefore, the estimated humanity’s current consumption of energy in one day is above 208 million joules per day.
