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

Order the steps to describe how information is sent. A signal is produced. A signal is seen, heard, or used. Radio waves are mod
nordsb [41]

Answer:

A signal is produced.

Radio waves are modulated and amplified.

Radio waves are amplified and demodulated.

A signal is seen, heard, or used.

Explanation:

Communication is the method of transmitting information between two or more participants. A radio communication network is a set of static and wireless radio equipment developed to facilitate an entity by enabling particular modes of communication such as one-to-many and one-to-one communication. Radio waves are being used to transmit information spatially from the sender to receiver, by modulating the radio signal in the transmitter. The above steps explains the loop of the radio communication system.

A ball of silly putty hits andsticks to a bowling ball that was initially at rest. After thecollision, the total kinetic energy
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

3. less than the kinetic energy of thesilly putty before the collision.

Explanation:

This is because kinetic energy is dependent on the mass and velocity of an object. Mathematically, it is given as:

K. E. = ½*m*v²

Where m = mass

v = velocity

In the case of the silly putty, we know that the masses of the ball of silly putty and the bowling ball are conserved, hence, the kinetic energy depends solely on the velocity at which the object moves.

After the collision with the bowling ball, because of how heavy a bowling ball is, the speed of the silly putty and bowling ball will definitely be less than the speed of the silly putty before collision, i. e. u > v.

Hence, the kinetic energy after collision will be less than the kinetic energy before collision.

A person travelled 350 m east from his home and returns back home an hour has displacement of_?​
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

vector of zero magnitude

Explanation:

The displacement is a vector magnitude, therefore, in addition to being a module, it has direction and sense.

In this case it moved 350 m and then returned the same 350 m, so the total displacement is zero.

If we draw the vector, one has a directional direction to the right and the other direction to the left, therefore when adding the two vectors gives a vector of zero magnitude

Which of the following statements best explains why elements in the same family of the periodic table have similar bonding prope
slava [35]

Answer: D. The elements have the same number of valence electrons

Explanation: The chemical reactivity of elements is governed by the valence electrons present in the element.

The elements present in the same group or vertical column have similar valence configurations and thus behave similarly in chemical reactions or have similar bonding properties.

For Example: Both fluorine and chlorine belong to same family or group and both have 7 electrons in their valence shell and thus accept single electron to attain noble gas configuration.

F:9:1s^22s^22p^5

F^-:10: 1s^22s^22p^6

Cl:17:1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^5

Cl^-:18:1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^6

thus both would bond with a cation bearing a single positive charge.

an electric current of 285.0 ma flows 674. milliseconds. Calculate the amount of electric charge transported. Be sure your answe
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

<em>The amount of electric charge transported = 0.192 C</em>

Explanation:

Electric Charge: This is defined as the product of electric current and time in an electric circuit, The S.I unit of electric charge is Coulombs (C)

Q = It..................... Equation 1

Where Q = Electric charge, I = electric current, t = time.

<em>Given:</em> I = 285 mA, t = 674 milliseconds.

<em>Conversion: (i) Convert from 285 mA to A = (285/1000) A = 0.285 A</em>

<em>       (ii) convert from 674 milliseconds to seconds = (674/1000) s = 0.674 s          </em>

Substituting these values into equation 1

Q = 0.285 × 0.674

<em>Q = 0.192 C</em>

<em>Therefore the amount of electric charge transported = 0.192 C</em>

<em></em>
