Answer:

Due to conservation of momentum

Explanation:

We know that if there is no any force acting on the system then  the total linear momentum of system will remain conserve.We know that linear momentum given as

P = m x v

When person steps forward then velocity of person changes it means that the linear momentum also changes to balance this change in linear momentum the boat will move away from the bank. Because the linear momentum should be conserve.

How long does a car (1000 kg) have a speed of 30 m/s from a rest if the engine power is 10kw
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer: 90.1 s

Explanation:

Use equation for power:

P=F*V

Use eqation for force:

F=ma

F---force

V---velocity

Vr=om/s

V=30m/s

m=1000kg

P=10000W

---------------------------

P=FV

F=P/V

F=10000W/30m/s

F=333.33N

Use equation for force to find accelartaion.

F=ma

a=F/m

a=333.33N/1000kg

a=0.333 m/s²

Use equation for accelaration to find out time:

a=(V-Vs)/t

t=(V-Vs)/a

t=(30m/s)/(0.333m/s²)

t=90.09 s≈90.1 s

Three masses are located in the x-y plane as follows: a mass of 6 kg is located at (0 m, 0 m), a mass of 4 kg is located at (3 m
Natali [406]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

D. (1m, 0.5m)

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The center of mass (or center of gravity) of a system of particles is the point where the weight acts when the individual particles are replaced by a single particle of equivalent mass. For the three masses, the coordinates of the center of mass C(x, y) is given by;

x = (m₁x₁ + m₂x₂ + m₃x₃) / M       ----------------(i)

y = (m₁y₁ + m₂y₂ + m₃y₃) / M       ----------------(ii)

Where;

M = sum of the masses

m₁ and x₁ = mass and position of first mass in the x direction.

m₂ and x₂ = mass and position of second mass in the x direction.

m₃ and x₃ = mass and position of third mass in the x direction.

y₁ , y₂ and y₃ = positions of the first, second and third masses respectively in the y direction.

From the question;

m₁ = 6kg

m₂ = 4kg

m₃ = 2kg

x₁ = 0m

x₂ = 3m

x₃ = 0m

y₁ = 0m

y₂ = 0m

y₃ = 3m

M = m₁ + m₂ + m₃ = 6 + 4 + 2 = 12kg

Substitute these values into equations (i) and (ii) as follows;

x = ((6x0) + (4x3) + (2x0)) / 12

x = 12 / 12

x = 1 m  

y = (6x0) + (4x0) + (2x3)) / 12

y = 6 / 12

y = 0.5m

Therefore, the center of mass of the system is at (1m, 0.5m)
