a 59kg physics student jumps off the back of her laser sailboat (42kg). after she jumps the laser is found to be travelling at 1

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.

11) A sled is initially given a shove up a frictionless 35º incline. It reaches a maximum height of 2.5
Andrej [43]

Answer:

7 m/s

Explanation:

To solve this problem you must use the conservation of energy.

K1 +U1=K2+U2

That math speak for, initial kinetic energy plus initial potential energy equals final kinetic energy plus final potential energy.

The initial PE (potential energy) is 0 because it hasn't been raised in the air yet. The final KE (kinetic energy) is 0 because it isn't moving. This gives the following:

KE1= \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}}

PE2=mgh

K1=U2

\frac{1}{2} mv^{2} =mgh

Solve for v

v=\sqrt{2gh}

Input known values and you get 7 m/s.

The Amazon rainforest has millions of trees down in South America. Pantanal, the largest wetland, or swamp, on Earth sits direct
Vikentia [17]

Answer:The Pantanal is, when the season changes of the river flow, the pantanal shrinks after a few river channels The amazon rainforest has a lot of trees.The vapor rises and condenses it into clouds.Water leaves the forest and comes back, the amazon leaves itself.If the amazon water was not to go by itself everything would be different.

16. For this table of data, how should the y-axis be labeled (with units)?
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

The y-axis should be labelled as W in Newtons (kg·m/s²)

Explanation:

The given data is presented here as follows;

Mass (kg)            {}        Newtons (kg·m/s²)

3.2                      {}           31.381

4.6             {}                    45.1111

6.1              {}                    59.821

7.4              {}                    72.569

9                {}                     89.241

10.4              {}                   101.989

10.9              {}                  106.892

From the table, it can be seen that there is a nearly linear relationship between the  amount of Newtons and the  mass, as the slope of the data has a relatively constant slope

Therefore, the data can be said to be a function of Weight in Newtons to the mass in kilograms such that the weight depends on the mass as follows;

W(m) in Newtons = Mass, m in kg × g

Where;

g is the constant of proportionality

Therefore, the y-axis component which is the dependent variable is the function, W(m) = Weight of the body while the x-axis component which is the independent variable is the mass. m

The graph of the data is created with Microsoft Excel give the slope which is the constant of proportionality, g = 9.8379, which is the acceleration due to gravity g ≈ 9.8 m/s²

We therefore label the y-axis as W in Newtons (kg·m/s²)

An automobile starter motor has an equivalent resistance of 0.0500Ω and is supplied by a 12.0-V battery with a 0.0100-Ω internal
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer

given,

resistance = 0.05 Ω

internal resistance of battery = 0.01 Ω

electromotive force = 12 V

a) ohm's law

        V = IR

     and volage

   V = \epsilon - Ir

now,

   IR = \epsilon - Ir

   I(R+r) = \epsilon

   I= \dfrac{\epsilon}{R+r}

inserting the values

   I= \dfrac{12}{0.05+0.01}

      I = 200 A

b) Voltage

   V = I R

   V = 200 x 0.05

   V = 10 V

c) Power

    P = I V

    P = 200 x 10 = 2000 W

d) total resistance = 0.05 + 0.09 = 0.14 Ω

 I= \dfrac{\epsilon}{R+r}

   I= \dfrac{12}{0.14+0.01}

     I = 80 A

     V = 80 x 0.05 = 4 V

     P = 4 x 80 = 320 W
