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.

A motorcycle has a constant acceleration of 3.49 m/s2. Both the velocity and acceleration of the motorcycle point in the same di
Vilka [71]

Answer:

(a)2.865 s

(b)2.865 s

Explanation:

We are given that

Acceleration,a=3.49 m/s^2

a.Initial speed,u=29 m/s

Final speed,v=39 m/s

We know that

t=\frac{v-u}{a}

Using the formula

t=\frac{39-29}{3.49}=2.865 s

b.Initial speed,u=59 m/s

Final speed,v=69 m/s

Again using the formula

t=\frac{69-59}{3.49}=2.865 s

Using the information from Paul Hewitt's Conceptual Development Practice Page 25-1 and the image below, answer the following que
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

A = 2 cm ,   λ = 8 cm

Explanation:

The amplitude of a wave is the maximum height it has, in this case the height is measured by the vertical ruler,

We are told the balance point is in the reading of 5 cm, that the maximum reading is 3 cm and the Minimum reading is 7 cm. Therefore, the distance from the ends of the ridge to the point of equilibrium is

          d = 7-5 = 2 cm

          d = 5-3 = 2 cm

          A = 2 cm

The wavelength is the minimum horizontal distance for which the wave is repeated, that is measured by the horizontal ruler.

The initial reading for 4 cm and the final reading for 8 cm, this distance corresponds to a crest of the wave, the complete wave is formed by two crests whereby the wavelength is twice this value

          Δx = 8-4 = 4 cm

          λ = 2 Δx

          λ = 8 cm

A Block slides down an incline that makes an angle of 30? with the horizontal direction. The coefficient of kinetic friction bet
astraxan [27]

Answer:

Acceleration = 2.35 m/s^{2}

Speed = 8.67 m/s

Explanation:

The coefficient of friction , u =0.3

The angle of incline = 30°

The two forces acting on block are weight and friction.

weight along the incline = mg cos60° = \frac{mg}{2} = 0.5 mg

Friction along incline = umg cos30° = mg 0.3\times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}

Friction along incline  = 0.26 mg

Net force acting on the weight = (0.5 - 0.26) mg = 0.24 mg

Acceleration = \frac{net force}{mass} = 0.24 g = 2.35 m/s^{2}

The height of incline = 8 m

Length of the inclined edge = 16 m

v^{2}=u^{2}+2as

v^{2}= 2\times 0.24 \times 9.8\times 16

v= 8.67 m/s
