Note: Take East as the positive direction. A(n) 81 kg fisherman jumps from a dock into a 128 kg rowboat at rest on the West side

of the dock. If the velocity of the fisherman is 4.5 m/s to the West as he leaves the dock, what is the final velocity of the fisherman and the boat? Answer in units of m/s.

Answer:

final velocity of fisherman will be 1.744 m /sec in west direction

Explanation:

We have given mass of the fisherman m_1=81kg

Velocity of fisherman v_=-4.5m/sec ( As east direction is positive direction )

Mass of the rowboat m_2=128kg

As the rowboat is at rest so v_2=0m/sec

Now according to conservation of momentum

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v

81\times -4.5+128\times 0=(81+128)\times v

v=-1.744m/sec

So final velocity of fisherman will be 1.744 m /sec in west direction

PLEASE HELP ASAP! THANKS!<br><br> Why is it a rare occasion to see a solar eclipse from your home?
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

It is very rare to see a solar eclipse from your home, because the Earth, Sun, and the moon need to align just right.  Not everyone in the world can view a solar eclipse, only some area can.  A solar eclipse is where the moon blocks out the sun.  If you think about it:  Let's say you live in Florida, U.S.A.  You may see the moon coming in front of the sun, but if you lived in California or sumthin', the moon and the sun wouldn't be aligned to form a solar eclipse.  It all depends on location... so it is rare to see one.

Which was more difficult to determine (latitude or longitude) and why?
Ivenika [448]
Longitude was. Determining longitude requires knowing the exact time of day, which was difficult prior to modern clocks. The source book below tells the story of Englishman John Harrison's life-long pursuit of building a reliable clock and its importance to navigation.

a 1 gram spiders sits on a platform rotating at 78 rpm. the spider is 15 cm from the centre disk. find the speed of the spider
olga nikolaevna [1]

The spider is traveling in a circle with radius = 15cm

The circumference of any circle = <em>2 pi (radius)</em>
The circumference of the spider's path = 2 pi (15 cm) = 30 pi cm

The spider completes a trip around this path 78 times per minute.
Its speed, relative to you, is   

                               (78) x (30 pi) cm/min =

                                       2,340 pi cm/min =  7,351.33 cm/min =

                                     <em>  73.5133 meter/min =</em>

                                       <em>4.411 km/hr =</em>

                                         <em>2.74  miles/hour

</em>
(After the last appearance of pi,
all numbers are rounded.)<em>

THIS IS A SCIENCE QUESTION IF THESE ARNT ANSWERED IM GOING TO FAIL SCIENCE
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

1.a storm with a violent wind, in particular a tropical cyclone in the Caribbean.

2.The Eye of a Hurricane. The eye is the region at the center of the hurricane, which is roughly circular in shape and usually has calm weather.

3.Hurricanes form over the ocean, often beginning as a tropical wave—a low pressure area that moves through the moisture-rich tropics, possibly enhancing shower and thunderstorm activity.  

4.When the surface water is warm, the storm sucks up heat energy from the water, just like a straw sucks up a liquid. This creates moisture in the air. If wind conditions are right, the storm becomes a hurricane. This heat energy is the fuel for the storm.

5.a rising of the sea as a result of atmospheric pressure changes and wind associated with a storm.

6.A hurricane dies down when it loses its energy source, which is usually warm water at the surface of the ocean.

7.Hurricane Katrina was so destructive because of a bunch of events that happened in just the right way. First, understand that Katrina was at one point a Category 5 storm and was predicted to hit New Orleans as a Category 4. It weakened to a Cat 3 and veered ever so slightly to the east, making the damage far less than it could have been.
