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>.

If light has a speed of 122,000 mps in a transparent medium, what is the index of refraction of the medium? A. n = 1.52
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

A.\hspace{3}n=1.52

Explanation:

The refractive index of a medium is a measure to know how much the speed of light within the medium is reduced. It can be calculated with the next equation:

n=\frac{c}{v}   (1)

Where:

c=Speed\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}light\hspace{3}in\hspace{3}vacuum\\n=Refractive\hspace{3}index\\

v=Velocity\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}light\hspace{3}in\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}medium

The speed of light in the vacuum is approximately 300,000 km/s. In order to work with the same units let's do the proper conversion with the velocity of the medium:

122,000\frac{mi}{s} *\frac{1.60934km}{1mi}=196339.48\frac{km}{s}

Finally, replacing the data in (1):

n=\frac{300,000}{196339.48} =1.527965746\approx1.52

A 325 N force applied to an object for 5.5 s. What’s the impulse?
vazorg [7]
According to Newton second law of motion, the resultant force is directly proportional to the rate of change in momentum while maintaining other factors constant. Therefore, F = (mv-mu)/t where F is the resultant force , m is the mass of the object, v is the final velocity and u is the initial velocity.
Hence, Ft = mv-mu, but impulse is given by force multiplied by time, thus, impulse is equivalent to the change in momentum.
Impulse = Ft
              = 325 × 2.2 sec
              = 715 Ns
