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.

How do exons and introns differ?

Norma-Jean [14]

Exons And Introns differ because Exons code for protein and Introns do not.

It was a children versus grown-ups competition at school. One event required the adult to throw a basketball as far as he could.

aleksklad [387]

Based on Newton's Law, the event is not fair because:

<span>No, because a basketball is bigger than a baseball, and objects that are bigger accelerate slower.

I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!</span>

A large balloon of mass 210 kg is filled with helium gas until its volume is 329 m3. Assume the density of air is 1.29 kg/m3 and

Nastasia [14]

(a) See figure in attachment (please note that the image should be rotated by 90 degrees clockwise)

There are only two forces acting on the balloon, if we neglect air resistance:

- The weight of the balloon, labelled with W, whose magnitude is

$W=mg$

where m is the mass of the balloon+the helium gas inside and g is the acceleration due to gravity, and whose direction is downward

- The Buoyant force, labelled with B, whose magnitude is

$B=\rho_a V g$

where $\rho_a$ is the air density, V is the volume of the balloon and g the acceleration due to gravity, and where the direction is upward

(b) 4159 N

The buoyant force is given by

$B=\rho_a V g$

where $\rho_a$ is the air density, V is the volume of the balloon and g the acceleration due to gravity.

In this case we have

$\rho_a = 1.29 kg/m^3$ is the air density

$V=329 m^3$ is the volume of the balloon

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

So the buoyant force is

$B=(1.29 kg/m^3)(329 m^3)(9.8 m/s^2)=4159 N$

(c) 1524 N

The mass of the helium gas inside the balloon is

$m_h=\rho_h V=(0.179 kg/m^3)(329 m^3)=59 kg$

where $\rho_h$ is the helium density; so we the total mass of the balloon+helium gas inside is

$m=m_h+m_b=59 kg+210 kg=269 kg$

So now we can find the weight of the balloon:

$W=mg=(269 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=2635 N$

And so, the net force on the balloon is

$F=B-W=4159 N-2635 N=1524 N$

(d) The balloon will rise

Explanation: we said that there are only two forces acting on the balloon: the buoyant force, upward, and the weight, downward. Since the magnitude of the buoyant force is larger than the magnitude of the weigth, this means that the net force on the balloon points upward, so according to Newton's second law, the balloon will have an acceleration pointing upward, so it will rise.

(e) 155 kg

The maximum additional mass that the balloon can support in equilibrium can be found by requiring that the buoyant force is equal to the new weight of the balloon:

$W'=(m'+m)g=B$

where m' is the additional mass. Re-arranging the equation for m', we find

$m'=\frac{B}{g}-m=\frac{4159 N}{9.8 m/s^2}-269 kg=155 kg$

(f) The balloon and its load will accelerate upward.

If the mass of the load is less than the value calculated in the previous part (155 kg), the balloon will accelerate upward, because the buoyant force will still be larger than the weight of the balloon, so the net force will still be pointing upward.

(g) The decrease in air density as the altitude increases

As the balloon rises and goes higher, the density of the air in the atmosphere decreases. As a result, the buoyant force that pushes the balloon upward will decrease, according to the formula

$B=\rho_a V g$

So, at a certain altitude h, the buoyant force will be no longer greater than the weight of the balloon, therefore the net force will become zero and the balloon will no longer rise.
