Momentum, p = m.v
m of the girl = 60.0 kg
m of the boat = 180 kg
v of the girl = 4.0 m/s

A) Momentum of the girl as she is diving:
p = m.v = 60.0 kg * 4.0 m/s = 24.0 N/s

B) momentum of the raft = - momentum of the girl = -24.0 N/s

C) speed of the raft

p = m.v ; v = p/m = 24.0N/s / 180 kg = -0.13 m/s [i.e. in the opposite direction of the girl's velocity]

What is the mass of metal if it has a density of 12.459 hg/cm^3 and displaces 28.7cm^3 of water ​
natima [27]

Answer:

357.6g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Density  = 12.459g/cm³

Volume of metal  = 28.7cm³

Unknown:

Mass of metal = ?

Solution:

The density of a substance is its mass per unit volume.

To find the mass;

     Mass of metal  = density x volume

Now insert the parameters and solve;

    Mass of metal  = 12.459 x 28.7  = 357.6g

An increase in the magnitude of velocity is??
bazaltina [42]
It means the speed of the object is increasing
and
there is a positive acceleration in the direction of the velocity
hence
there is a force acting on the object, in the direction of the velocity
