Answer:

The boat moves away from the dock at 0.5 m/s.

Explanation:

Hi there!

Since no external forces are acting on the system boy-boat at the moment at which the boy lands on the boat, the momentum of the system is conserved (i.e. it remains constant).

The momentum of the system is calculated as the sum of the momentum of the boy plus the momentum of the boat. Before the boy lands on the boat, the momentum of the system is given by the momentum of the boy.

momentum of the system before the boy lands on the boat:

momentum of the boy + momentum of the boat

m1 · v1 + m2 · v2 = momentum of the system

Where:

m1 and v1: mass and velocity of the boy.

m2 and v2: mass and velocity of the boat.

Then:

50 kg · 2.0 m/s + 150 kg · 0 m/s = momentum of the system

momentum of the system = 100 kg m/s

After the boy lands on the boat, the momentum of the system will be equal to the momentum of the boat moving with the boy on it:

momentum of the system = (m1 + m2) · v (where v is the velocity of the boat).

100 kg m/s = (50 kg + 150 kg) · v

100 kg m/s / 200 kg = v

v = 0.5 m/s

The boat moves away from the dock at 0.5 m/s.

fredd [130]

Answer:

0.25m²

Explanation:

We know that the summation of forces in the vertical direction is zero

So

PA-mg=0

A=mg/p

So

Substituting

A= 75* 9.8/3*10^-3

=0.25m² which is the total shoe area

a tire with inner volume of 0.0250m^3 is filled with air at a gauge pressure of 36.0 psi. If the tire valve is opened to the atm
enyata [817]

Answer: Escaped volume = 0.0612m^3

Explanation:

According to Boyle's law

P1V1 = P2V2

P1 = initial pressure in the tire = 36.0psi + 14.696psi = 50.696psi (guage + atmospheric pressure)

P2 = atmospheric pressure= 14.696psi

V1 = volume of tire =0.025m^3

V2 = escaped volume + V1 ( since air still remain in the tire)

V2 = P1V1/P2

V2 = 50.696×0.025/14.696

V2 = 0.0862m^3

Escaped volume = 0.0862 - 0.025 = 0.0612m^3
