Answer:

11 m/s south

Explanation:

The velocity of the passenger relative to the river bank is equal to the velocity of the passenger relative to the ferry, plus the velocity of the ferry relative to the river, plus the velocity of the river relative to the river bank.

v_passenger,bank = v_passenger,ferry + v_ferry,river + v_river,bank

If we take north to be positive and south to be negative:

v = 1.0 m/s + (-10 m/s) + (-2 m/s)

v = -11 m/s

v = 11 m/s south

Fofino [41]

Answer:

$5.04\cdot 10^8 A$

Explanation:

The work function of the metal corresponds to the minimum energy needed to extract a photoelectron from the metal. In this case, it is:

$\phi = 3.950\cdot 10^{-19}J$

So, the energy of the incoming photon hitting on the metal must be at least equal to this value.

The energy of a photon is given by

$E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}$

where

h is the Planck's constant

c is the speed of light

$\lambda$ is the wavelength of the photon

Using $E=\phi$ and solving for $\lambda$ , we find the maximum wavelength of the radiation that will eject electrons from the metal:

$\lambda=\frac{hc}{E}=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}{3.950\cdot 10^{-19} J}=5.04\cdot 10^{-7}m$

And since

1 angstrom = $10^{-15}m$

The wavelength in angstroms is

$\lambda=\frac{5.04\cdot 10^{-7} m}{10^{-15} m/A}=5.04\cdot 10^8 A$

A 70 kg hunter, standing on frictionless ice, shoots a 42 g bullet horizontally at a speed of 590 m/s . Part A Part complete Wha

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

The recoil velocity is 0.354 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of hunter = 70 kg

Mass of bullet = 42 g = 0.042 kg

Speed of bullet = 590 m/s

We need to calculate the recoil speed of hunter

Using conservation of momentum

$m_{1}u_{1}+m_{2}u_{2}=m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}$

Where, $m_{1}$ = mass of hunter

$m_{2}$ = mass of bullet

u = initial velocity

v = recoil velocity

Put the value in the equation

$0+0=70\times v_{1}+0.042\times590$

$v_{1}=-\dfrac{0.042\times590}{70}$

$v=-0.354\ m/s$

Hence, The recoil velocity is 0.354 m/s.

1. Impulse is the product of force and distance. True or false?

daser333 [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. Impulse, I = F.t

The statement impulse is the product of Force and distance is false.

2. F = m g

Force necessary to lift the object depends on the mass of the object.

statement 2 is false.

3. Joule is equal to Newton times meter.

Statement 3 is false.

4. Work done to lift an object is correct statement.

Statement 4 is true.

5. Kinetic energy of an object is due to motion.

Statement 5 is false.

6. Stopping distance is directly proportional to the square of velocity.

If velocity is doubled, stopping distance is quadrupled.

Statement 6 is false.
