To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the conservation of the Momentum. For this purpose we will define the momentum as the product between mass and velocity, and by conservation the initial momentum will be equal to the final momentum. Mathematically this is,

m_1u_1+m_2u_2 = m_1v_1+m_2v_2

Here,

m_{1,2} = Mass of Dan and Skateboard respectively

u_{1,2} = Initial velocity of Dan and Skateboard respectively

v_{1,2} = Final velocity of Dan and Skateboard respectively

Our values are:

Dan's mass

m_1 = 60kg

Mass of the skateboard

m_2 = 7.0kg

Both have the same initial velocity, then

u_1= u_2 = 4m/s

Final velocity of Skateboard is

v_2 = 6m/s

Rearranging to find the final velocity of Dan we have then,

m_1u_1+m_2u_2 = m_1v_1+m_2v_2

m_1v_1+m_2v_2 = (m_1+m_2)u_1

v_1 = \frac{ (m_1+m_2)u_1 -m_2v_2}{m_1}

Replacing,

v_1 = \frac{(60+7)(4)-(7)(6)}{60}

v_1 = 3.76m/s

Therefore Dan will touch the ground at a speed of 3.76m/s

Answer:

T_s = 6.8 degree C

Explanation:

As per thermal radiation we know that rate is heat radiation is given as

\frac{dQ}{dt} = \sigma eA (T^4 - T_s^4)

here we know that

T = 34 degree C = 307 K

A = 1.38 m^2

e = 0.557

\sigma = 5.67 \times 10^{-8} W/m^2K^4

\frac{dQ}{dt} = 120 J/s

now we have

120 = (5.67 \times 10^{-8})(0.557)(1.38)(307^4 - T_s^4)

120 = (4.36 \times 10^{-8})(307^4 - T_s^4)

T_s = 279.8 K

T_s = 6.8 degree C

B. The role of the moon is greater than that of the sun in the occurrence of tides. ???​
ahrayia [7]

Our sun is 27 million times larger than our moon. Based on its mass, the sun's gravitational attraction to the Earth is more than 177 times greater than that of the moon to the Earth. If tidal forces were based solely on comparative masses, the sun should have a tide-generating force that is 27 million times greater than that of the moon. However, the sun is 390 times further from the Earth than is the moon. Thus, its tide-generating force is reduced by 3903, or about 59 million times less than the moon. Because of these conditions, the sun’s tide-generating force is about half that of the moon.
