Answer:

5.66 × 10⁻²³ m/s

Explanation:

If i assume i can jump as high as h = 2 m, my initial velocity is gotten from v² = u² + 2gh. Since my final velocity v = 0, u = √2gh = √(2 × 9.8 × 2) = √39.2 m/s = 6.26 m/s.

Since initial momentum = final momentum,

mv₁ + MV₁ = mv₂ + MV₂ where m, M, v₁, V₁, v₂ and V₂ are my mass, mass of earth, my initial velocity, earth's initial velocity, my final velocity and earth's final velocity respectively.

My mass m = 54 kg, M = 5.972 × 10²⁴ kg, v₁ = 6.26 m/s, V₁ = 0, v₂ = 0 and V₂ = ?

So mv₁ + M × 0 = m × 0 + MV₂

mv₁ = MV₂

V₂ = mv₁/M =  54kg × 6.26 m/s/5.972 × 10²⁴ kg = 338.093/5.972 × 10²⁴ = 56.61 × 10⁻²⁴ m/s = 5.661 × 10⁻²³ m/s ≅ 5.66 × 10⁻²³ m/s

On a highway, a car is driven 80. kilometers
nydimaria [60]

The average speed of the car for the entire trip can be calculate by using:

v=\frac{S}{t}

where S is the total distance covered by the car, and t is the total time taken.


The total distance travelled by the car is:

S=80 km+50 km+40 km=170 km

while the total time taken is:

t=1.00 h+0.50 h+0.50 h=2.00 h


so, the average speed of the car is:

v=\frac{S}{t}=\frac{170 km}{2.00 h}=85 km/h


so, the correct answer is (3) 85 km/h.

A shopper pushes a grocery cart 20.0 m at constant speed on level ground, against a 35.0 n frictional force. he pushes in a dire
alexandr1967 [171]

Work is calculated as the product of Force, Distance, and angular motion. In this case, the work done by gravity is perpendicular to the motion of the cart, so θ = 90°

 and W=Fdcosθ

W=35.0 N x 20.0 m x cos90

W=0 J

This means that work done perpendicular to the direction of the motion is always zero.

. A helicopter is 8.50 m above the ground and climbing at 2.5 m/s. It drops a package from rest (relative to the helicopter). At
Rudik [331]

Answer:

2.5 m/s

Explanation:

The velocity of the package relative to the ground = the velocity of the package relative to the helicopter + the velocity of the helicopter relative to the ground

v = 0 m/s + 2.5 m/s

v = 2.5 m/s

At the moment it is released, the package is rising at 2.5 m/s.

g If the momentum of an electron doubles, by what factor would its de Broglie wavelength be multiplied
Fynjy0 [20]

Explanation:

The de broglie wavelength is given by :

\lambda=\dfrac{h}{p}

Here,

h is Planck's constant

p is momentum

Momentum and De-Broglie wavelength has inverse relationship. If momentum of an electron double, its wavelength gets half.
