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.

An unknown material has a mass
atroni [7]

Answer: 1896.55J/kg°C

Explanation:

The quantity of Heat Energy (Q) required to heat a material depends on its Mass (M), specific heat capacity (C) and change in temperature (Φ)

Thus, Q = MCΦ

Since,

Q = 1320 joules

Mass of material = 5.61kg

C = ? (let unknown value be Z)

Φ = 0.124°C

Then, Q = MCΦ

1320J = 5.61kg x Z x 0.124°C

1320J = 0.696kg°C x Z

Z = (1320J / 0.696kg°C)

Z = 1896.55 J/kg°C

Thus, the specific heat of the material is 1896.55J/kg°C

Answer:

1. the pencil would have the momentum and would keep going until it hits the windshield. 2. when the car suddenly accelerates, the pencil would be inert and it would move toward the back of the car until a constant speed from the car is reached.
