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]

An object with a mass of 2.0 kg is accelerated at 5.0 m/s/s. the net force acting on the mass is
Vitek1552 [10]
First we need to know the equation:
F= Mass times acceleration
F = 2.0 kg times 5.0 m/s^2 
multiply them to get the net force!
F= 10 N 
N is newton

The average lifetime of a poodle dog is 13.0 years. How fast is it traveling, u, relative to an observer who measures the averag
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

The speed is 0.97 c.

Explanation:

Given that,

Dilated time t'= 50.0 years

Rest time t = 13.0 years

We need to calculate the speed

Using formula of time dilation

t'=\dfrac{t}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}}}

Where, t' = change in time

t = rest time

v = velocity

c = speed of light

Put the value into the formula

50.0=\dfrac{13.0}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v^2}{(3\times10^{8})^2}}}

v^2=\dfrac{(13)^2\times(c)^2-(c)^2\times50^2}{50^2}

v^2= 0.9324c^2

v=0.97c

Hence, The speed is 0.97 c.

Entropy is a measure of the _____ of a system. thermal energy mechanical energy disorder density
valina [46]
The answer is disorder. It would be really hard to explain without being too complicated, but the entropy is the number of possible states that a system can realize under given conditions.

Which situation has the greatest pressure? A. Atmospheric pressure at sea level, equal to 1.01 X 105 N/m2 B. The pressure that a
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

The correct option is B

Explanation:

In part A pressure is given as 1.01*10^5 N/m

In Part B we can calculate the pressure using the formula

        P = \frac{F}{A}

Where F is the force which in this case is weight which can be obtained as follow

            W = Mg

Substituting 70kg for M and 9.8m/s^2 for g

              W = 70 *9.8

                  =686N

A is the area with a value 50cm^2 = \frac{50}{10000}  = 5.0*10^{-3}m^2

So substituting into the above equation

              P = \frac{686}{5.0*10^{-3}}

                  = 1.37 *10^5 N/m^2                      

for part c

    A  = 22*28 cm^2= \frac{22*28}{10000}m^2

          =6.16*10^{-2}m^2

     F  = 2.5 * 9.8

        = 24.525N

Therefore P = \frac{24.252}{6.16*10^{-2}}

                    = 298 N/m^2

From this we see that the value of P for part B is the greatest
