Answer:

The resultant velocity = 3.16 m/s

Explanation:

Since the boat is moving North of the direction of the riverflow, the river would either be flowing westward or Eastward. The two motions form a right angle triangle with the resultant velocity being the hypotenuse of the traingle.

The resultant velocity will be given as ;

R² = B² + r²

Where B is the velocity of the boat and r is the velocity of the river

R² = 3² + 1²

R² = 10

R = √10 = 3.16 m/s

Therefore, the resultant velocity = 3.16 m/s

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer: 8.493(10)^{-3} m/s

Explanation:

According to the conservation of linear momentum principle, the initial momentum p_{i} (before the collision) must be equal to the final momentum p_{f} (after the collision):

p_{i}=p_{f} (1)

In addition, the initial momentum is:

p_{i}=m_{1}V_{1}+m_{2}V_{2} (2)

Where:

m_{1}=1.71(10)^{14} kg is the mass of the comet

m_{2}=6.06(10)^{20} kg is the mass of the asteroid

V_{1}=3.01(10)^{4} m/s is the velocity of the comet, which is positive

V_{2}=0 m/s is the velocity of the asteroid, since it is at rest

And the final momentum is:

p_{f}=(m_{1}+m_{2})V_{f} (3)

Where:

V_{f} is the final velocity

Then :

m_{1}V_{1}+m_{2}V_{2}=(m_{1}+m_{2})V_{f} (4)

Isolating V_{f}:

V_{f}=\frac{m_{1}V_{1}}{m_{1}+m_{2}} (5)

V_{f}=\frac{(1.71(10)^{14} kg)(3.01(10)^{4} m/s)}{1.71(10)^{14} kg+6.06(10)^{20} kg}

Finally:

V_{f}=8.493(10)^{-3} m/s This is the final velocity, which is also in the positive direction.

Imagine a player throwing a football. Explain the action of what is happening to the hand and ball, as well as describe the acti
garri49 [273]

Answer:

Explanation:

When a player throws a football , he applies force on the ball , due to which ball accelerates in forward direction . This is the action force .

The ball also applies a force on the hand of the player . Due to it the player experiences a pushing force in backward direction . This is reaction force .

Due to this force , the player does not move in backward direction because of frictional force of the ground . The frictional force keeps him stationary .

What is meant by fundamental unit? write any two difference between mass and weight.​
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

Fundamental unit is any unit that is not dependent on other units and other units can be derived from them

Explanation:

Units such as Kilogram, Mass and Time are said to be fundamental units because they are independent.

Differences between Mass and weight;

1. Mass is the measure of the amount of matter in a body while weight is a measure of how the force of gravity acts upon that mass.

2. Mass is a scalar quantity while weight is a vector quantity
