If you were in a canoe on a calm lake and you threw a heavy stone as far is you could out the canoe what would the canoe do

Physics

Bezzdna [24]3 years ago
8 0

This is conservation of momentum. At the beginning the total momentum is zero. When you throw the stone you give the stone a positive momentum, which means you must have a negative momentum (when I say negative I mean in the opposite direction of the direction of the stone) so that the total momentum is still zero. You and the canoe will move in the opposite direction of which you threw the stone.

An apparatus similar to the one used in lab uses an oscillating motor at one end to vibrate a long rope with frequency f = 40 Hz
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

The displacement in t = 0,  

y (0) = - 0.18 m

Explanation:

Given f = 40 Hz , A = 0.25m , μ = 0.02 kg / m, T = 20.48 N

v = √ T / μ

v = √20.48 N / 0.02 kg /m = 32 m/s

λ = v / f

λ = 32 m/s / 40 Hz = 0.8

K = 2 π / λ

K = 2π / 0.8 = 7.854

φ = X * 360 / λ

φ = 0.5 * 360 / 0.8 = 225 °

Using the model of y' displacement

y (t) = A* sin ( w * t - φ )

When t = 0

y (0) = 0.25 m *sin ( w*(0) - 225 )

y (0) = 0.25 * -0.707

y (0) = - 0.18 m

. Let us say that you put a cup of cold water in one room and a cup of hot water in
Lilit [14]

Answer:

In both cases, energy will move from an area of higher temperature to an area of lower temperature. So, the energy from room-temperature air will move into the cold water, which warms the water.

At one instant, the center of mass of a system of two particles is located on the x-axis at 2.0 cm and has a velocity of (5.0 m/
Nata [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

At one instant,

Center of mass is at 2m

Xcm = 2m

And velocity =5•i m/s

One of the particle is at the origin

M1=? X1 =0

The other has a mass M2=0.1kg

And it is at rest at position X2= 8m

a. Center of mass is given as

Xcm = (M1•X1 + M2•X2) / (M1+M2)

2 = (M1×0 + 0.1×8) /(M1 + 0.1)

2 = (0+ 0.8) /(M1 + 0.1)

Cross multiply

2(M1+0.1) = 0.8

2M1 + 0.2 =0.8

2M1 = 0.8-0.2

2M1 = 0.6

M1 = 0.6/2

M1 = 0.3kg

b. Total momentum, this is an inelastic collision and it momentum after collision is given as

P= (M1+M2)V

P = (0.3+0.1)×5•i

P = 0.4 × 5•i

P = 2 •i kgm/s

c. Velocity of particle at origin

Using conversation of momentum

Momentum before collision is equal to momentum after collision

P(before) = M1 • V1 + M2 • V2

We are told that M2 is initially at rest, then, V2=0

So, P(before) = 0.3V1

We already got P(after) = 2 •i kgm/s in part b of the question

Then,

P(before) = P(after)

0.3V1 = 2 •i

V1 = 2/0.3 •i

V1 = 6 ⅔ •i m/s

V1 = 6.667 •i m/s
