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 points a and b are connected by a wire with negligible resistance, find the magnitude of the current in the 12.0 v battery.
Marizza181 [45]
V = I * R
Where V is the voltage, I is the current and R is the resistance. Using Ohm's law, you require resistance to find the current through the wire. Technically, if the wire has a resistance of 0, you will get infinite current. But this isn't possible. Maybe the negligible resistance refers to the battery's internal resistance - not the wire's resistance.
