Consider velocity to the right as positive.

First mass:
m₁ = 4.0 kg
v₁ = 2.0 m/s to the right

Second mass:
m₂ = 8.0 kg
v₂ = -3.0 m/s to the left

Total momentum of the system is
P = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂
   = 4*2 + 8*(-3)
  = -16 (kg-m)/s

Let v (m/s) be the velocity of the center of mass of the 2-block system.

Because momentum of the system is preserved, therefore
(m₁+m₂)v= -16
(4+8 kg)*(v m/s) = -16 (kg-m)/s
v = -1.333 m/s

Answer:
The center of mass is moving at 1.33 m/s to the left.

Sally and Sam are in a spaceship that comes to within 17,000 km of the asteroid Ceres. Determine the force Sally experiences, in
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

0.01606 Newtons

Explanation:

r = Distance between the asteroid and Sally = 17000000 m

m₁ = Mass of the asteroid = 8.7× 10²⁰ kg

m₂ = Mass of Sally = 80 kg

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

From Newton's Universal law of gravity

F=G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow F=6.67\times 10^{-11}\times \frac{8.7\times 10^{20}\times 80}{17000000^2}\\\Rightarrow F=0.01606\ N

The force Sally experiences is 0.01606 Newtons

A 150kg motorcycle starts from rest and accelerates at a constant rate along a distance of 350m. The applied force is 250N and t
notsponge [240]

A) The net force on the motorbike is 205.9 N

B) The acceleration of the motorbike is 1.37 m/s^2

C) The final speed is 5.2 m/s

D) The elapsed time is 3.80 s

Explanation:

A)

There are two forces acting on the motorbike:

- The applied force, F = 250 N, forward

- The frictional force, F_f, backward

The frictional force can be written as

F_f = \mu mg

where

\mu=0.03 is the coefficient of kinetic friction

m=150 kg is the mass of the motorbike

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

Therefore the net force is given by

\sum F = F - F_f = F - \mu mg

And substituting, we find

\sum F=250 - (0.03)(150)(9.8)=205.9 N

2)

The acceleration of the motorbike can be found by using Newton's second law, which states that the net force is equal to the product between mass and acceleration:

\sum F = ma

where

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

In this problem, we have

\sum F = 205.9 N is the net force

m = 150 kg is the mass

Solving for a, we find the acceleration:

a=\frac{\sum F}{m}=\frac{205.9}{150}=1.37 m/s^2

C)

Since the motion of the motorbike is a uniformly accelerated motion, we can use the following suvat equation:

v^2-u^2=2as

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

s is the distance covered

For this motorbike, we have:

u = 0 (it starts from rest)

a=1.37 m/s^2

s = 350 m

Solving for v,

v=\sqrt{u^2+2as}=\sqrt{0+2(1.37)(9.8)}=5.2 m/s

4)

For this part of the problem, we can use the following suvat equation:

v=u+at

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the elapsed time

Here we have:

v = 5.2 m/s

u = 0

a=1.37 m/s^2

Solving for t, we find

t=\frac{v-u}{a}=\frac{5.2-0}{1.37}=3.80 s

A person's center of mass is very near the hips, at the top of the legs. Model a person as a particle of mass mm at the top of a
muminat

Answer:

\mathbf{v_{max} = \sqrt{gL}}

Explanation:

Considering an object that moving about in a circular path,  the equation for such centripetal force can be computed as:

\mathbf {F = \dfrac{mv^2}{2}}

The model for the person can be seen in the diagram attached below.

So, along the horizontal axis, the net force that is exerted on the person is:

mg cos \theta = \dfrac{mv^2}{L}

Dividing both sides by "m"; we have :

g cos \theta = \dfrac{v^2}{L}

Making "v" the subject of the formula: we have:

v^2 = g Lcos \theta

v=\sqrt{ gL cos \theta

So, when \theta = 0; the velocity is maximum

∴

v_{max} = \sqrt{gL \ cos \theta}

v_{max} = \sqrt{gL \ cos (0)}

v_{max} = \sqrt{gL \times 1}

\mathbf{v_{max} = \sqrt{gL}}

Hence; the maximum walking speed for the person  is \mathbf{v_{max} = \sqrt{gL}}

18. A swimmer steps out of a swimming pool into a light breeze. Why does
OverLord2011 [107]
When the swimmer gets out, the water on her skin begins to evaporate. This process requires takes a lot of energy and that energy comes from the heat of her body. This is similar to when someone sweats. Hope this helps!
