A 60.0 kg girl stands up on a stationary floating raft and decides to go into shore. She dives off the 180 kg floating raft with

a velocity of 4.0 m/s [W]. Ignore the substantial friction real objects in water experience.
A) What is the momentum of the girl as she is diving?
B) What is the momentum of raft as the girl is diving?
C) What is the final speed of the raft just after the girl dives?

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]

If you want to increase the gravitational force between two objects; would you rather double the mass of one object or halve the
Step2247 [10]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Force of gravity from Newtonian theory for which it is necessary to

F = \frac{GMm}{R^2}

Where,

G = Gravitational universal constant

M = Mass of Earth

m = mass of Object

x = Distance between center of mass of the objects.

From this equation we can observe that the Force is inversely proportional to the squared distance between the two objects. The greater the distance, the lower the force of gravity and vice versa.

F \propto \frac{1}{R^2}

If you want to increase the force of gravity, you need to reduce the distance of the two. Therefore the correct option is B. Talk to the distance between them.

Rock X is released from rest at the top of a cliff that is on Earth. A short time later, Rock Y is released from rest from the s
MArishka [77]

Answer:

<h2>D) S increases because at all times Rock X falls with a greater speed than Rock Y</h2>

Explanation:

As we know that Stone X is dropped first and then after some time stone Y is dropped

Now we have

v_x = gt_1

similarly for Y

v_y = g(t_1 - \Delta t)

now the relative acceleration of two stones while they are in air is ZERO

also we know from above equations

v_x > v_y

so the separation between two stones will keep on increasing as the speed of X is more than the speed of Y
