A 730 N student stands in the middle of a frozen pond having a radius of 5.8 m. He is unable to get to the other side because of

a lack of friction between his shoes and the ice. To overcome this difficulty, he throws his 2.6 kg physics textbook horizontally toward the north shore at a speed of 6.1 m/s. The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s². How long does it take him to reach the south shore? Answer in units.

Answer:27.35 s

Explanation:

Given

weight of man =730 N

mass of man m_1=\frac{730}{9.8}=74.48 kg

radius of pound r=5.8 m

mass of book m_2=2.6 kg

velocity of book v_2=6.1 m/s

let v_1 be the velocity of man

conserving momentum

0=m_1v_1+m_2v_2

0=74.48\times v_1+2.6\times 6.1

v_1=\frac{15.86}{74.48}=0.212 m/s

time taken by man to reach south end

t=\frac{5.8}{0.212}=27.35 s

maksim [4K]

v

Convert the given temperatures from celsius to kelvin since we are dealing with gas.

To convert to kelvin, add 273.15 to the temperature in celsius.

T1 = 22 + 273.15 = 295.15 k

T2 = 4 + 273.15 = 277.15 k

V1 = 0.5 L

Let's find the final volume (V2).

To solve for V2 apply Charles Law formula below:

\frac{V_1}{T_1}=\frac{V_2}{T_2}

A 53-N force is needed to keep a 50.0-kg box sliding across a flat surface at a constant velocity. What is the coefficient of ki
earnstyle [38]

The weight of the box is (mass) x (gravity) = (50 kg) x (9.8m/s²) = 490 newtons.

If the box is sliding at constant speed, and not speeding up or slowing down,
that means that the horizontal forces on it add up to zero. 

Since you're pushing on it with 53N in <em><u>that</u></em> direction, friction must be pulling
on it with 53N in the <u><em>other</em></u> direction.

 The 53N of friction is (the weight) x (the coefficient of kinetic friction).

                                                  53N  =  (490N) x (coefficient).

Divide each side by  490N :  Coefficient = (53N) / (490N)  =  0.1082 .

Rounded to the nearest hundredth, that's    <em>0.11 </em>.      (choice 'd')

James rode his bike 0.65 hours and traveled 8.45 km. What was his speed?
maria [59]

Speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

            =    ( 8.45 km)   /   (0.65 hr)

            =         (8.45 / 0.65)  km/hr

            =                  13 km/hr

What is the difference between condensation and precipitation
Alexxandr [17]

Explanation:

The water cycle is based on three parts;

1. Evaporation

2. Condensation

3. Participation

Condensation:

It is the process in which water vapor changes into liquid water or in other words, it is the transition from the gaseous state to liquid state.

Precipitation:

It is the process in which any liquid or frozen water such as snow that forms in the atmosphere and falls back to the Earth

Condensation depends on temperature and pressure whereas precipitation depends on the temperature and the concentration of the solution.
