Answer:

The man moves across the ice with a speed of 0.345m/s.

Explanation:

From the conservation of linear momentum, we have that the total linear momentum before the book throw is equal to the total linear momentum just after it. Since the initial velocity of the system is zero (so the initial momentum is zero), we have that:

m_mv_m+m_bv_b=0\\\\v_m=-\frac{m_b}{m_m} v_b

Where m_m is the mass of the man, m_b is the mass of the book, and v_m and v_b are their velocities. Plugging in the given values, we can compute the speed of the man (ignoring the negative sign, because we care about the magnitude, not the direction):

v_m=\frac{2.40kg}{78.5kg}(11.3m/s)=0.345m/s

In words, the resulting speed of the man is 0.345m/s.

Answer:

0.345 m/s²

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of momentum,

The total momentum before the book was thrown = Total momentum after the book is thrown.

Note: Since both the man and the book are stationary before the book was thrown, then the total momentum before the book was thrown = 0.

0 = m'v' + mv .................... Equation 1

m'v'+mv = 0

Where m' = mass of the man, v' = final velocity of the man after the throw, m = mass of the book, v = final velocity after the throw

make v' the subject of the equation

v' = -mv/m'............... Equation 2

Given: m = 2.40 kg, v = 11.3 m/s, m' = 78.5 kg.

Substitute into equation 2

v' = 2.4(11.3)/78.5

v' = 27.12/78.5

v' = 0.345 m/s²

True or false<br> Hydrogen fuel cells generate electricity by combining hydrogen with oxygen.
adoni [48]

Answer:

The answer is: True.

Explanation:

If free electrons or other substances could travel through the electrolyte, they would disrupt the chemical reaction. Whether they combine at anode or cathode, together hydrogen and oxygen form water, which drains from the cell. As long as a fuel cell is supplied with hydrogen and oxygen, it will generate electricity.

A person travels by car from one city to another with differem constan1 speeds between pairs of cities. She drives for 30.0 min
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

a.52.9 km/h

b.90 km

Explanation:

We are given that

v_1=89km/h

t_1=30min

v_2=100km/h

t_2=12min

v_3=40km/h

t_3=45 min

Time spend on eating lunch and buying ga=15 min.

a.Total time=30+12+45+15=102 minute=\frac{102}{60}=1.7 hour

1 hour=60 minutes

Distance=speed\times time

d_1=v_1\times t_1=80\times\frac{30}{60}=40km

d_2=100\times \frac{12}{60}=20 km

d_3=40\times \frac{45}{60}=30 km

Total distance=d_1+d_2+d_3=40+20+30=90km

Average speed=\frac{total\;speed}{total\;time}

Using the formula

Average speed=\frac{90}{1.7}=52.9Km/h

b.Total distance between the initial and final city lies along the route=90 km

Consult Interactive Solution 10.37 to explore a model for solving this problem. A spring is compressed by 0.0647 m and is used t
padilas [110]

Answer:

\omega=32.14\ rad/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The compression in the spring, x = 0.0647 m

Speed of the object, v = 2.08 m/s

To find,

Angular frequency of the object.

Solution,

We know that the elation between the amplitude and the angular frequency in SHM is given by :

v=\omega\times A

A is the amplitude

In case of spring the compression in the spring is equal to its amplitude

\omega=\dfrac{v}{A}

\omega=\dfrac{2.08\ m/s}{0.0647\ m}

\omega=32.14\ rad/s

So, the angular frequency of the spring is 32.14 rad/s.

A 2.0 m × 4.0 m flat carpet acquires a uniformly distributed charge of −10 μC after you and your friends walk across it several
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

The  charge on the dust particle is  q_d  = 6.94 *10^{-13} \  C

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The length is  l = 2.0 \ m

    The width is  w = 4.0 \ m

   The charge is  q =  -10\mu C= -10*10^{-6} \ C

    The mass suspended in mid-air is m_a =  5.0 \mu g =  5.0 *10^{-6} \ g =  5.0 *10^{-9} \  kg

   

Generally the electric field on the carpet is mathematically represented as

           E =  \frac{q}{ 2 *  A  *  \epsilon _o}

Where \epsilon _o is the permittivity of free space with value \epsilon_o = 8.85*10^{-12}  \ \  m^{-3} \cdot kg^{-1}\cdot  s^4 \cdot A^2

substituting values

           E =  \frac{-10*10^{-6}}{ 2 *  (2 * 4 )  *  8.85*10^{-12}}

           E = -70621.5 \  N/C

Generally the electric force keeping the dust particle on the air  equal to the force of gravity acting on the particles

        F__{E}} =  F__{G}}

=>     q_d *  E  =  m * g

=>      q_d  =  \frac{m * g}{E}

=>      q_d  =  \frac{5.0 *10^{-9} * 9.8}{70621.5}

=>     q_d  = 6.94 *10^{-13} \  C
