The boat slightly moves backward when we jump from it.give reason

Newton’s Third Law!

Every action has an equal, but opposite, reaction. When you jump from the boat, you exert force on the boat as you leap from it. Since the boat rests on a liquid instead of a solid (much less friction), it moves away from the jumper as a result of the leap.

maw [93]

You've already told us the speed in ft/s . It's right there in the question. You said that light travels about 982,080,000 ft/s.

We don't know how accurate that number is, but for purposes of THIS question, that's the number we're going with.

In scientific notation, it's written . . . 9.8208 x 10⁸ ft/s .

We don't know where you were going with the number of seconds in a year. But to answer the question that you eventually asked, it turned out that we don't even need it.

An arrow of 43 g moving at 84 m/s to the right, strikes an apple at rest. The arrow sticks to the apple and both travel at 16.8

Aloiza [94]

Answer:

The mass of the apple is 0.172 kg (172 g)

Explanation:

The Law Of Conservation Of Linear Momentum

The total momentum of a system of bodies is conserved unless an external force is applied to it. The formula for the momentum of a body with mass m and speed v is

P=mv.

If we have a system of two bodies, then the total momentum is the sum of both momentums:

$P=m_1v_1+m_2v_2$

If a collision occurs and the velocities change to v', the final momentum is:

$P'=m_1v'_1+m_2v'_2$

Since the total momentum is conserved, then:

P = P'

Or, equivalently:

$m_1v_1+m_2v_2=m_1v'_1+m_2v'_2$

If both masses stick together after the collision at a common speed v', then:

$m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v'$

We are given the mass of an arrow m1=43 g = 0.043 kg traveling at v1=84 m/s to the right (positive direction). It strikes an apple of unknown mass m2 originally at rest (v2=0). The common speed after they collide is v'=16.8 m/s.

We need to solve the last equation for m2:

$m_2v_2-m_2v'=m_1v'-m_1v_1$

Factoring m2 and m1:

$m_2(v_2-v')=m_1(v'-v_1)$

Solving:

$\displaystyle m_2=\frac{m_1(v'-v_1)}{v_2-v'}$

Substituting:

$\displaystyle m_2=\frac{0.043(16.8-84)}{0-16.8}$

$\displaystyle m_2=\frac{-2.8896}{-16.8}$

$\displaystyle m_2=0.172\ kg$

The mass of the apple is 0.172 kg (172 g)

kiruha [24]

Answer: (a) and (b) => check attached file.

(c). Picture (a) and (b) will both remain the same.

Explanation:

IMPORTANT: The solution to the question (a) and (b) that is (a) Draw a neat snapshot mode labeled vector picture of the wave. (b) Draw a neat movie mode labeled vector picture of the wave is there in the ATTACHED FILE/PICTURE.

It is also worthy of note to know that in anything Electromagnetic wave, the magnetic field, the Electric Field and their direction of propagation are perpendicular to each other.

Therefore, knowing the fact above we can say that in yellow light, the magnetic field is in the y-direction and the Electric Field is in the z-direction.

Hence, the solution to option C is given below;

(C).If the wave were to represent blue light instead of yellow light, picture (a) will remain the same because both light are Electromagnetic wave, although the wavelength will have to change. Picture (b) will also remain the same because they are both Electromagnetic waves and possess similar properties.
