You are standing on a large sheet of frictionless ice and holding a large rock. In order to get off the ice, you throw the rock

so it has velocity 12.0 m/s relative to the earth at an angle of 35.0∘ above the horizontal. Your mass is 72.0 kg and the rock’s mass is 3.50 kg . What is your speed after you throw the rock?

Answer:

0.4778 m/s

Explanation:

To solve this question, we will make use of law of conservation of momentum.

We are given that the rock's velocity is 12 m/s at 35°. Thus, the horizontal component of this velocity is;

V_x = (12 m/s)(cos(35°)) = 9.83 m/s.

Thus, the horizontal component of the rock's momentum is;

(3.5 kg)(9.83 m/s) = 34.405 kg·m/s.

Since the person is not pushed up off the ice or down into it, his momentum will have no vertical component and so his momentum will have the same magnitude as the horizontal component of the rock's momentum.

Thus, to get the person's speed, we know that; momentum = mass x velocity

Mass of person = 72 kg and we have momentum as 34.405 kg·m/s

Thus;

34.405 = 72 x velocity

Velocity = 34.405/72

Velocity = 0.4778 m/s

The displacement in simple harmonic motion is a maximum when the 1. velocity is a maximum. 2. kinetic energy is a maximum. 3. ve
dlinn [17]

Answer:

3. velocity is zero.

Explanation:

The velocity of a simple harmonic motion is given by

v = \omega\sqrt{A^2-x^2}

Here, <em>ω</em> is the angular velocity, <em>A</em> is the amplitude (or maximum displacement from the equilibrium point) and <em>x</em> is the displacement at any time.

At maximum displacement, <em>x </em>=<em> A</em>.<em> </em>Then

v = \omega\sqrt{A^2-A^2} = 0

Therefore, at maximum displacement, velocity is 0.

Practically, this can be observed in a simple pendulum. As it approaches the maximum displacement, its velocity reduces. It becomes zero at this point and then reverses as the pendulum changes course. Then the velocity begins to increase. It becomes maximum at the equilibrium point but once past that, the velocity begins to reduce as it approaches the other amplitude.

For acceleration,

a = -\omega^2x

It follows that at maximum displacement, the acceleration is a maximum. The negative sign indicates that it is in an opposite direction to the displacement. Both kinetic energy (\frac{1}{2}mv^2) and linear momentum (mv) are proportional to velocity; they are therefore both zero at the maximum displacement.

Two moles of helium gas initially at 438 K and 0.44 atm are compressed isothermally to 1.61 atm. Find the final volume of the ga
docker41 [41]

Answer:

44.64335 L

Explanation:

R = Gas constant = 8.314 J/mol K = 0.08205 L atm/mol K

P = Pressure

V = Volume

T = Temperature = 438 K

1 denotes initial

2 denotes final

From ideal gas law we have

PV=nRT\\\Rightarrow V=\dfrac{nRT}{P}\\\Rightarrow V=\dfrac{2\times 0.08205\times 438}{0.44}\\\Rightarrow V=163.35409\ L

So,

P_1V_1=P_2V_2\\\Rightarrow V_2=\dfrac{P_1V_1}{P_2}\\\Rightarrow V_2=\dfrac{0.44\times 163.35409}{1.61}\\\Rightarrow V_2=44.64335\ L

The volume of Helium is 44.64335 L
