Answer:

7.59 m/s

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy: This is defined as the energy possessed by a body due to its motion. The S.I unit of kinetic energy is Joules (J).

Mathematically, kinetic energy is represented as,

Ek = 1/2mv²................................ Equation 1

Where Ek = Kinetic Energy, m = mass, v = velocity.

From the question,

Kinetic energy of the rabbit = Kinetic energy of the setter

1/2m₁v₁² = 1/2m₂v₂².......................... equation 2

Where m₁ = mass of the rabbit, v₁ = velocity of the rabbit, m₂ = mass of the setter, v₂ = velocity of the setter.

making v₁ the subject of the equation

v₁ = v₂√(m₂/m₁)............................ Equation 3

Given: m₁ = 5.0 kg, m₂ = 12.0 kg, v₂ = 4.9 m/s.

Substituting into equation 3

v₁ = 4.9√(12/5)

v₁  = 4.9√2.4

v₁ = 4.9×1.549

v₁ = 7.59 m/s

Thus the rabbit is 7.59 m/s fast

A man at point A directs his rowboat due north toward point B, straight across a river of width 100 m. The river current is due
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

1.35208 m/s

Explanation:

Speed of the boat = 0.75 m/s

Distance between the shores = 100 m

Time = Distance / Speed

Time=\frac{100}{0.75}=133.33\ s

Time taken by the boat to get across is 133.33 seconds

Point C is 150 m from B

Speed = Distance / Time

Speed=\frac{150}{\frac{100}{0.75}}=1.125\ m/s

Velocity of the water is 1.125 m/s

From Pythagoras theorem

c=\sqrt{0.75^2+1.125^2}\\\Rightarrow c=1.35208\ m/s

So, the man's velocity relative to the shore is 1.35208 m/s

a motorcyclist starts from rest and accelerates at rate of 4 meters per second squared north. what is the final velocity of the
MArishka [77]

Answer:

80m<em>/</em><em>s</em>

Explanation:

Final velocity is given by

v=u+at

when a motorcyclist starts from rest, initial velocity (u) =0

therefore

v=0+4*20

v=80m/s

that's the answer
