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.

What is the momentum of an object in splace
forsale [732]

Answer:

The total momentum of the universe is always the same and is equal to zero. The total momentum of an isolated system never changes. Momentum can be transferred from one body to another.

Momentum quantifies how likely an object is to stay in motion. Momentum can also be explained using the equation, p=mv, where p is equal to momentum, m is equal to mass, and v is equal to velocity.

Igoryamba

Answer:

λ = 1360 m

Explanation:

Given data:

frequency of driving nails is given as 1 stroke per second mean at every 0.25 sec she hit the nails

speed of sound is given as 340 m/s

we know that the wave equation is given as

Speed = frequency × wavelength,

v = f × λ

where,

v = speed in meters/second (m/s)

f = frequency in Hertz (Hz)

substituing value to get wavelength  of her driving nails

340 m/s = (1Hz)\times  \lambda

\lambda = \frac{340}{0.25}

λ = 1360 m
