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

The drawing shows a hydraulic chamber with a spring (spring constant = 1600 N/m) attached to the input piston and a rock of mass
Triss [41]

Answer:

\Delta x=245\ mm

Explanation:

Given:

  • spring constant of the spring attached to the input piston, k=1600\ N.m^{-1}
  • mass subjected to the output plunger, m=40\ kg

<u>Now, the force due to the mass:</u>

F=m.g

F=40\times 9.8

F=392\ N

<u>Compression in Spring:</u>

\Delta x=\frac{F}{k}

\Delta x=\frac{392}{1600}

\Delta x=0.245\ m

or

\Delta x=245\ mm

Answer:

What are some ways we can improve on our land use?

- Avoid deforestation and close the forest frontier.

The first-order priority is to end deforestation by closing the "forest frontier" or intact forests, to development.

- Increase agricultural productivity.

- Restore forests and landscapes.

- Reduce food loss and waste.

- Improve diets

A rocket ship has several engines and thrusters. While the Solid Rocket Booster (SRB) and main engines only work together during
Katarina [22]

A rocket ship is accelerated by the SRB and the main engines for 2.0 minutes and the main engines for 8.5 minutes after the launch. The acceleration of the ship during the first 2.0 minutes is 11 m/s² (D).

A rocket ship has several engines and thrusters. We can divide its initial movement into 2 parts:

  • From t = 0 min to t = 2.0 min, the SRB and the main engines act together and the speed goes from 0 m/s (rest) to 1341 m/s.
  • From t = 2.0 min to t = 8.5 min, the main engines alone accelerate the ship form 1341 m/s to 7600 m/s.

We want to know the acceleration in the first part (first 2.0 minutes). We need to consider that:

  • The speed increases from 0 m/s to 1341 m/s.
  • The time elpased is 2.0 min.
  • 1 min = 60 s.

The acceleration of the ship during the first 2.0 minutes is:

a = \frac{\Delta v }{t} ) \frac{(1341m/s-0m/s)}{2.0min} \times \frac{1min}{60s}  = 11 m/s^{2}

A rocket ship is accelerated by the SRB and the main engines for 2.0 minutes and the main engines for 8.5 minutes after the launch. The acceleration of the ship during the first 2.0 minutes is 11 m/s² (D).
