A man holding a rock sits on a sled that is sliding across a frozen lake (negligible friction) with a speed of 0.460 m/s. The to

tal mass of the sled, man, and rock is 95.0 kg. The mass of the rock is 0.310 kg and the man can throw it with a speed of 15.5 m/s. Both speeds are relative to the ground. Determine the speed of the sled (in m/s) if the man throws the rock forward (i.e., in the direction the sled is moving).

Answer:

= 0.417 m/s

Explanation:

Momentum before throwing the rock: m*V = 95.0 kg * 0.460 m/s

= 44.27 N*s  

A) man throws the rock forward

mass of rock m1 = 0.310 kg

V1 = 15.5 m/s, in the same direction of the sled with the man

sled and man:

m2 = 95 kg - 0.310 kg = 94.69 kg

v2 = ?

Conservation of momentum:

momentum before throw = momentum after throw

44.27N*s = 0.310kg * 15.5m/s + 94.69kg*v2

⇒ v2 = [44.27 N*s - 0.310 * 15.5N*s ] / 94.69 kg

= 0.417 m/s

Answer:

0.41 m/s.

Explanation:

Mt = 95 kg

Mr = 0.31 kg

Vr = 15.5m/s

Ut = 0.46 m/s

Mass of the man and sled = (95 - 0.31) kg

= 94.69 kg

Using conservation of momentum equation,

Momentum before the throw = momentum after the throw

95 × 0.46 = 0.31 × 15.5 + 94.69 × V2

43.7 = 4.805 + 94.69 V2

V2 = 0.41 m/s.

near the surface of the earth, objects in free fall (but not terminal velocity) experience a. constant distance. b. constant acc
Alenkasestr [34]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

B. constant acceleration.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • Free fall is the type of motion of a body or an object when only gravity is acting on it.
  • <em><u>All objects undergo free fall on the earth surface at the same rate irrespective of their mass. This is because the gravitational field on the surface of the earth 9.8 N/kg, causes and acceleration equivalent to 9.8 m/s/s of any object in free fall motion.</u></em>
  • Therefore,<u> the acceleration of any freely falling object near the surface of the earth is 9.8 m/s².</u>

ionic compound. The atom that lost the electron becomes a cation, and the atom that gains an electron becomes an anion. The cation and anion bond together because they have opposite charges to form an ionic compound. The question may be looking for just cation or anion, though.

In a 30.0-s interval, 500 hailstones strike a glass window with an area of 0.600m2 at an angle of 45.0°to the window surface. Ea
aliina [53]

or one hailstone we have;
Force = Mass X acceleration = 0.005kg x 9.8.} This is when the hailstone is not inclined at an angle.
When the hailstone is inclined at an angle of 45, then the component of force along the glass window will be F =0.005kg x 9.8 x sin45= 0.005kg x 9.8 x 0.707= 0.0346N.
Therefore, total force for the 500 hailstones would be 500x0.0346N=17.32N
This force is acting on an area equal to 0.600m2
Pressure = Force per unit area = 17.32N/0.600m2 = 28.9Pa
