A lumberjack (mass = 103 kg) is standing at rest on one end of a floating log (mass = 255 kg) that is also at rest. The lumberja

ck runs to the other end of the log, attaining a velocity of +2.93 m/s relative to the shore, and then hops onto an identical floating log that is initially at rest. Neglect any friction and resistance between the logs and the water. (a) What is the velocity of the first log (again relative to the shore) just before the lumberjack jumps off? (b) Determine the velocity of the second log (again relative to the shore) if the lumberjack comes to rest relative to the second log.

Answer:

(a) -1.18 m/s

(b) 0.84 m/s

Explanation:

(a)

The total linear momentum before the lumberjack begins to move is zero because all parts of the system are at res

From the law of conservation of momentum

m1v1+m2v2=0 hence m1v1=-m2v2 where m1 is mass of lumberjack, v1 is velocity of lumberjeck, m2 is mass of floating log, v2 is velocity of the floating log.

Substituting M1 for 103 Kg, V1 for 2.93 m/s, M2 for 255 Kg into the above equation we obtain

103Kg*2.93 m/s=-255Kg*V2

V2=-(103 kg*2.93 m/s)/255=-1.183490196  m/s

Hence V2=-1.18 m/s

(b)

For the second log

V(M1+M2)=m1v1 where V is the common velocity

V(103 Kg+255 Kg)=103 Kg*2.93 m/s

V=(103 Kg*2.93 m/s)/(103 Kg+255 Kg)=0.842988827  m/s

V=0.84 m/s

In the standing waves experiment, the string has a mass of 31.2 g and a length of 0.7 m. The string is connected to a mechanical
mestny [16]

Answer:

linear density of the string = 4.46 × 10⁻⁴ kg/m

Explanation:

given,

mass of the string = 31.2 g

length of string = 0.7 m

linear density of the string = \dfrac{mass\ of\ string}{length}

linear density of the string = \dfrac{31.2\times 10^{-3}\ kg}{0.7\ m}

linear density of the string = 44.57 × 10⁻³ kg/m

linear density of the string = 4.46 × 10⁻⁴ kg/m

What is the biggest similarity between sports in the United States and sports in other cultures?
leva [86]

Answer:

The first difference is fairly straightforward: other countries prefer other sports. While some aspects of American sports culture are universal there are other things that are sports-specific, such as the 7th-inning stretch at a baseball game or counting the steps of a basketball player after he fouls out.

Power selection feature for resistors to become water modules 10 liters of water at 25°C to đến
Mila [183]

Answer:

P = 2439.5 W = 2.439 KW

Explanation:

First, we will find the mass of the water:

Mass = (Density)(Volume)

Mass = m = (1 kg/L)(10 L)

m = 10 kg

Now, we will find the energy required to heat the water between given temperature limits:

E = mCΔT

where,

E = energy = ?

C = specific heat capacity of water = 4182 J/kg.°C

ΔT = change in temperature = 95°C - 25°C = 70°C

Therefore,

E = (10 kg)(4182 J/kg.°C)(70°C)

E = 2.927 x 10⁶ J

Now, the power required will be:

Power = P = \frac{E}{t}

where,

t = time = (20 min)(60 s/1 min) = 1200 s

Therefore,

P = \frac{2.927\ x\ 10^6\ J}{1200\ s}

<u>P = 2439.5 W = 2.439 KW</u>
