From the conservation of linear momentum of closed system,

Initial momentum = final momentum

Mass of the student, M = 59 kg

Mass of the laser boat, m = 42 kg

Initial speed of student + laser boat, u =0

Final speed of laser boat, v = 1.5 m/s

Final speed of the student = V

(M+m) u =M V +m v

0 = (59 kg) V + (42 kg) (1.5m/s)

V = - 1.06 m/s

Thus, the speed of the student is 1.06 m/s in the opposite direction of the motion of boat.

A2 kg block is accelerating at the rate of 5 m/s² while being acted on by two forces. One of the forces equals 30 N, 0°. What ar
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

20 [N], in the opposite direction of the first force.

Explanation:

We know that newton's second law stipulates that the sum of forces on a body must be equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

SumF = m*a\\30 + F = 2*5\\F = 30 - (2*5)\\F = - 20 [N]

The negative sign means that the other force acting on the body must be in the opposite direction to the force of 30 [N]

The following three hot samples have the same temperature. The same amount of heat is removed from each sample. Which one experi
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

Smallest drop: Water

Largest drop: Dirt

Explanation:

The heat needed to change the temperature of a sample is:

Q=cm\Delta T (1)

with Q the heat (added(+) or removed(-)), c specific heat, m the mass and \Delta T the change in temperature of the sample. So, if we solve (1) for

Sample A:

\Delta T=-\frac{Q}{cm} =\frac{Q}{4186*4.0}

\Delta T=-\frac{Q}{16744}

Sample B:

\Delta T=-\frac{Q}{cm} =\frac{Q}{2700*2.0}

\Delta T=-\frac{Q}{5400}

Sample C:

\Delta T=-\frac{Q}{cm} =\frac{Q}{1050*9.0}

\Delta T=-\frac{Q}{9450}

Note that the numbers 16744, 5400, 9450 are in the denominator of the expression -\frac{Q}{cm} that gives the drop on temperature. so, if Q is the same for the three samples the smallest denominator gives the largest drop and vice versa.

So, the smallest drop is Sample A and the largest is Sample C.

(Important: The minus sign of \Delta T implies the temperature is dropping)
