By Newtons Third law this is an action reaction pair of force
So the momentum is the same
30*20=50*x where x is velocity
x= 12m/s
direction is towards left since they act in opposite directions

Answer: The boy moves with velocity = <u>1.2 m/s</u> to the <u>left</u>.

Explanation:

<u>From law of conservation momentum, when there is no net external force acting on the system, the momentum remains conserved.</u>

⇒M u + m u' = M v + m v'

M is the mass of boy = 50 kg

u is its initial velocity = 0

m is the mass of the boat, m = 30 kg

u' is the initial speed of the boat, = 0

v is the final velocity of the boy

v' is the final velocity of the boat = +2.0 m/s

we would consider positive direction towards and negative towards left.

⇒ 0 = 50 v + 30 × 2

⇒ -50 v = 60

⇒ v = - 1.2 m/s (negative sign indicates towards left)

Thus, the boy moves with velocity = <u>1.2 m/s</u> to the <u>left</u>.

A frog is at the bottom of a 17-foot well. Each time the frog leaps, it moves up 3 feet. If the frog has not reached the top of
docker41 [41]

Answer:

The frog takes 8 jumps to reach top of well

Explanation:

Given data

Frog at bottom=17 foot

Each time frog leaps 3 feet

Frog has not reached the top of the well, then the frog slides back 1 foot

To Find

Total number of leaps the frog needed to escape from well

Solution

in 1 jump distance jumped=3+(-1)

                                           =2 feet

                                           =2×1 feet

The "-1" is because the frog goes back

Now After 2 jumps the distance jumped as:

                     Distance Jumped=2+2

                     Distance Jumped=2*2

                                                   =4 feet

Similarly after 7 jumps

                    Distance Jumped=2+2+......+2

                    Distance Jumped=2*7

                                                 =14 feet

Now after 8th jump the frog climbs but doesnot slide back as it is reached to the top of well.

So

              Distance Jumped=(Distance Jumped after 7 jumps)+3

                                           =14+3

                                           =17 feet

The frog takes 8 jumps to reach top of well

In Lesson 20, a magnesium strip was used to ignite the thermite reaction. When magnesium is placed in a flame from a small blow
nadezda [96]

Answer:

2 electrons will be needed by unbound oxygen in order to fill its 2nd shell.

Explanation:

The chemical reaction between magnesium and oxygen gives magnesium oxide as a product.The reaction is chemically represented as:

2Mg(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2MgO(s)

Magnesium is a metal of group-2 with 2 valence electrons.It has atomic number of 12.

[Mg]=1s^22s^22p^63s^2

In order to attain noble gas configuration it will loose two electrons.

[Mg]^{2+}=1s^22s^22p^6

Mg\rightarrow Mg^{2+}+2e^-...[1]

Oxygen is a non metal of group-16 with 6 valence electrons..It has atomic number of 8.

[O]=1s^22s^22p^4

In order to attain noble gas configuration it will gain two electrons.

[O]^{2-}=1s^22s^22p^6

O+2e^-\rightarrow O^{2-}..[2]

2 electrons will be needed by unbound oxygen in order to fill its 2nd shell.

What is the overall moment?

A moment causes a rotation about or axis. If the moment is to be taken about a point due to a force F, then in order for a moment to develop, the line of action cannot pass through that point...... the total moment was zero because the moment arm was zero as well
