Alan leaves Los Angeles at 8:00 A.M. to drive to San Francisco 400 mi away. He manages to travel at a steady 50 mph in spite of
1 answer:
Answer:
a) Beth will reach before Alan
b)Beth has to wait 20 min for Alan to arrive
Explanation:
let 'd' be distance b/w Los Angeles and San Francisco i.e 400 mi
considering ,
Alan's speed =50mph
Beth's speed =60mph
->For Alan:
The time required = d/
= 400/50 => 8h
-> For beth:
The time required => 6h 40m
Alan will reach at 8:00 a.m +8h = 4:00p.m.
Beth will reach at 9:00 a.m +6h 40m= 3:40p.m.
a) Beth will reach before Alan
b)Beth has to wait 20 min for Alan to arrive

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:
Where is the mass of the man,
is the mass of the book, and
and
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):
In words, the resulting speed of the man is 0.345m/s.
