A child in a boat throws a 5.80-kg package out horizontally with a speed of 10.0 m/s. The mass of the child is 24.6kg and the ma

ss of the boat is 39.0kg . (Figure 1)
Calculate the velocity of the boat immediately after, assuming it was initially at rest.

Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units. Enter positive value if the direction of the force is in the direction of the velocity of the box and negative value if the direction of the force is in the direction opposite to the velocity of the box.

Answer:

-0.912 m/s

Explanation:

When the package is thrown out, momentum is conserved. The total momentum after is the same as the total momentum before, which is 0, since the boat was initially at rest.

(m_c + m_b)v_b + m_pv_p = 0

where m_c = 24.6 kg, m_b = 39 kg, m_p = 5.8 kg are the mass of the child, the boat and the package, respectively. , v_p = 10m/s, v_b are the velocity of the package and the boat after throwing.

(24.6 + 39)v_b + 5.8*10 = 0

63.6v_b + 58 = 0

v_b = -58/63.6 = -0.912 m/s

Light does not pass through some materials. What do you think happens
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

When an electron is hit by a photon of light, it absorbs the quanta of energy the photon was carrying and moves to a higher energy state. One way of thinking about this higher energy state is to imagine that the electron is now moving faster, (it has just been "hit" by a rapidly moving photon)

A photon is a quantum of EM radiation. Its energy is given by E = hf and is related to the frequency f and wavelength λ of the radiation by. E=hf=hcλ(energy of a photon) E = h f = h c λ (energy of a photon) , where E is the energy of a single photon and c is the speed of light.

Warning triangles, flares, a vehicle's hazard lights, or emergency vehicles ahead, are all clues that you might be approaching _
daser333 [38]

Answer:

B. A collision scene

Explanation:

It could have been a parade ceremony, but, if you notice the vehicle's hazard lights or an emergency vehicle ahead, it is common sense to figure that they is a collision scene nearby.

Well it is definitely answer B because when light is on for a long time it heats up a lot.the thermometer obviously went up which means the light bulb had more energy and was hotter than the start of it
