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.

MgCl2
Mg = magnesium
Cl = chlorine

Magnesium + chlorine = magnesium chloride.

This is because compounds are always written with the METAL FIRST and the NON METAL SECOND. the non metal ends in - ide when it reacts with a metal.

So ur answer would be magnesium chloride. :)

A 2.0 kg sphere with a velocity of 6.0 m/s collides head-on and elastically with a stationary 10 kg sphere
dmitriy555 [2]

Question: A 2.0 kg sphere with a velocity of 6.0 m/s collides head-on and elastically with a stationary 10 kg sphere, What is thier velocities after collision.

Answer:

v = 6 m/s, v' = 0 m/s

Explanation:

From the question,

For Elastic collision,

mu+m'u' = mv+m'v'......................... Equation 1

Where m = mass of the first sphere, m' = mass of the second sphere, u = initial velocity of the first sphere, u' = initial velocity of the second sphere, v = final veolocity of the first sphere, v' = final velocity of the second sphere.

Also,

The relative velocity before collision = relative velocity after collision

u-u' = v-v'............................ Equation 2

Given:  m = 2 kg, m' = 10 kg, u = 6 m/s, u' = 0 m/s

Substitute into equation 1 and 2

2(6)+10(0) = 2v+10v'

2v+10v' = 12.............. Equation 3

6-0 = v-v'

v-v' = 6 ................... Equation 4

Solve equation 3 and 4 simultaneously.

v = 6+v'............. Equation 5

Substitute equation 5 into equation 3

2(6+v')+10v' = 12

12+2v'+10v' = 12

12v' = 12-12

v' = 0/12

v' = 0 m/s.

Also substitute the value of v' into equation 5

v = 6+0

v = 6 m/s

Why is Jupiter so much larger than Earth? Check all that apply
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

Moreover, Boss says that even if Jupiter is proven to have a core, the planet still could have formed that core through disk instability. Enough dust could have collected and cemented together in the dense gas to form a core many times larger than the size of the Earth.

Explanation:

The same is true of most other objects in the solar system — except Jupiter. The gas giant is so big that it pulls the center of mass between it and the sun, also known as the barycenter, some 1.07 solar radii from the star's center — which is about 30,000 miles above the sun's surface.
