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.

Elanso [62]
<span>The amount of dissolved oxygen in water may decrease because of the increase in organic matter in the water. <span>Aquatic organisms breathe and use oxygen. Large amounts of oxygen are consumed by the decomposition of bacteria (when there are large amounts of dead matter to decompose, there will be a significant number of bacteria). Examples: dead organic matter (algae), wastewater, garden waste, oils and fats, all this results in a decrease in dissolved oxygen in the water.</span></span>

Matter behaving like a wave rather than like a particle is best illustrated by which phenomenon?
Novay_Z [31]
<span>The photoelectric effect is about electrons being ejected from metals when light is shined on metals. The electrons do not behave like waves in the photoelectric effect. Black body radiation is all about the radiation emitted by warm bodies and not about those bodies behaving like waves. The emission spectra of atoms is all about what light is given off by atoms when electrons in those atoms jump down to lower energy levels from higher levels. That also has nothing to do with matter behaving as a wave. Interference is classically defined as the generation of a new wave with an amplitude modulated according to the waves that interfere to form that new wave. Note its emphasis on the wave part.</span>

What is one characteristic of a sample of matter that indicates it is a pure substance? A) It can be separated using by a physic
snow_lady [41]

D) If the composition of a sample is fixed, the sample is a pure substance.

Explanation:

A) It can be separated by using physical means, such as filtering.

Of course using physical means as filtration or crystallization we increase the purity of a compound, however sometimes impurities may remain dissolved in the solution or they may co-precipitate with the analysed sample.

B) The components in a pure substance do not have to be in definite ratios.

If the components in a substance do not have definite rations it means the the substance is not pure, it is a mixture of something.

C) If the composition of a sample varies, the sample is a pure substance.

If the composition of a sample varies, it means that different components in the substance are changing so it is a clue that the substance is not pure.

D) If the composition of a sample is fixed, the sample is a pure substance.

If the composition of a sample is fixed, and it can be determined and proven, the substance is pure.
