A man holding a rock sits on a sled that is sliding across a frozen lake (negligible friction) with a speed of 0.480 m/s. The to

tal mass of the sled, man, and rock is 96.0 kg. The mass of the rock is 0.310 kg and the man can throw it with a speed of 14.5 m/s. Both speeds are relative to the ground. Determine the speed of the sled if the man throws the rock forward (i.e. in the direction the sled is moving).
Also determine the speed of the sled if he throws the rock directly backwards.

This is a problem of conservation of momentum

Momentum before throwing the rock: m*V = 96.0 kg * 0.480 m/s = 46.08 N*s

A) man throws the rock forward

=>

rock:
m1 = 0.310 kg
V1 = 14.5 m/s, in the same direction of the sled with the man

sled and man:
m2 = 96 kg - 0.310 kg = 95.69 kg
v2 = ?

Conservation of momentum:
momentum before throw = momentum after throw

46.08N*s = 0.310kg*14.5m/s + 95.69kg*v2

=> v2 = [46.08 N*s - 0.310*14.5N*s ] / 95.69 kg = 0.434 m/s

B) man throws the rock backward

this changes the sign of the velocity, v2 = -14.5 m/s

 46.08N*s = - 0.310kg*14.5m/s + 95.69kg*v2

v2 = [46.08 N*s + 0.310*14.5 N*s] / 95.69 k = 0.529 m/s

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

12.54 m/s²

Explanation:

T = Time period of pendulum = 125/95 s = 25/19 s

l = Length of pendulum = 55 cm

g = Acceleration due to gravity

Time period of pendulum is given by

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}\\\Rightarrow g=4\pi^2\frac{l}{T^2}\\\Rightarrow g=4\pi^2\frac{0.55}{\frac{25}{19}^2}=12.54\ m/s^2

∴ The g on this planet is 12.54 m/s²

What is the maximum energy that can be transferred to an electron in a hard collision by a 25 MeV
gladu [14]

Answer:

Electrons

Explanation:

The electrons are called the subatomic particles. The electrons have one of the symbol of e-and β-. The electrons are the first generation of the Lepton particles. These are generally describe the elementary particles. These particles do not have components and substructure.

Like all other elements the electrons also exhibits some types of properties. These electrons also hit with another particles and start to diffracted in different direction like lights.

The wave property of the electrons can be observed with the help of experiment.

Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

a)    L = 3.29 10⁻⁴ H,  b)U = 5.33 10⁻²  J

Explanation:

a) The inductance is a solenoid this given carrier

           L = \frac{N \ \phi_B }{I}

The magnetic field inside the solenoid is

          B = μ₀ \frac{N}{l}  i

hence the magnetic flux

          Ф_B = B. A = μ₀ \frac{N \ A}{l \ i}

we substitute in the expression of inductance

          L = N² μ₀ A /l

let's find the area of ​​each turn

          A = π r²

         A = π 0.02²

         A = 1.2566 10⁻³ m²

let's calculate

          L = 250² 4π 10⁻⁷ 1.2566 10⁻² / 0.3

          L = 3.29 10⁻⁴ H

b) The stored energy is

           U = ½ L i²

let's calculate

            U = ½ 3.29 10⁻⁴ 18²

            U = 5.33 10⁻²  J
