Answer:

His resulting velocity will be 0.187 m/s backwards.

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the man is, M=75\ kg

Mass of the ball is, m=4\ kg

Initial velocity of the man is, u_m=0\ m/s(rest)

Initial velocity of the ball is, u_b=0\ m/s(rest)

Final velocity of the ball is, v_b=3.50\ m/s

Final velocity of the man is, v_m=?\ m/s

In order to solve this problem, we apply law of conservation of momentum.

It states that sum of initial momentum is equal to the sum of final momentum.

Momentum is the product of mass and velocity.

Initial momentum = Initial momentum of man and ball

Initial momentum = Mu_m+mu_b=75\times 0+4\times 0 =0\ Nm

Final momentum = Final momentum of man and ball

Final momentum = Mv_m+mv_b=75\times v_m+4\times 3.50 =75v_m+14

Now, initial momentum = final momentum

0=75v_m+14\\\\75v_m=-14\\\\v_m=\frac{-14}{75}\\\\v_m=-0.187\ m/s

The negative sign implies backward motion of the man.

Therefore, his resulting velocity is 0.187 m/s backwards.

Does a generator start a Direct Current?
lesya [120]
A direct-current (DC) generator is a rotating machine that supplies an electrical output with unidirectional voltage and current. ... The field is produced by direct current in field coils or by permanent magnets on the stator. The output, or armature, windings are placed in slots in the cylindrical iron rotor.

Which two statements are true about a system?
weqwewe [10]

Answer:The correct options are:

1. A system is a group of objects analyzed as one unit.

2. Energy that moves across system boundaries is conserved.

Explanation:

A system is defined as group of interrelated or interacting items existing as a single unit or a whole to achieve a specific objective.Energy lost by the system is equal to the energy gained by the surroundings.

Two statements are true about a system:

  • A system is a group of objects analyzed as one unit.
  • Energy that moves across system boundaries is conserved.

If transpiration didn't take place, would water be able to enter the roots of the plant? Explain your reasoning
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

If transpiration didn't take place water would still be able to enter the roots of a plant

Explanation:

transpiration is the process of water leaving from living organisms to the atmosphere, therefore, if transpiration didn't occur the water would not transpire to the atmosphere and would remain in the root but water absorption would not change because it is a biological need for the living organism as such

just olya [345]

Answer:

9.73 x 10⁻¹⁰ m

Explanation:

According to Heisenberg uncertainty principle

Uncertainty in position x uncertainty in momentum ≥ h / 4π

Δ X x Δp ≥ h / 4π

Δp = mΔV

ΔV = Uncertainty in velocity

= 2 x 10⁻⁶ x 3 / 100

= 6 x 10⁻⁸

mass m = 0.9 x 10⁻¹⁵ x 10⁻³ kg

m = 9 x 10⁻¹⁹

Δp = mΔV

= 9 x 10⁻¹⁹ x 6 x 10⁻⁸

= 54 x 10⁻²⁷

Δ X x Δp ≥ h / 4π

Δ X x  54 x 10⁻²⁷ ≥ h / 4π

Δ X = h / 4π x 1 /  54 x 10⁻²⁷

= \frac{6.6\times10^{-34}}{4\times3.14\times54\times10^{-27}}

= 9.73 x 10⁻¹⁰ m
