Answer:

Vp = 1 [m/s]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must use the principle of conservation of the amount of movement. In the same way, analyze the before and after of the actions.

<u>The moment before</u>

The 50kg person is still hold (no movement) with the 2kg helmet

<u>The moment after</u>

The helmet moves at 25[m/s] in one direction, the person moves in the opposite direction, due to the launch of the helmet.

In this way we can apply the principle of conservation of movement, expressing the before and after. To the left we have the before and to the right of the equal sign we have the after.

Σm*V1 = Σm*V

where:

m = total mass = (2 + 50) = 52[kg]

V1 = velocity before the lunch = 0

(50 + 2)*V1 = (25*2) - (Vp*50)

0 = 50 - 50*Vp

50 = 50*Vp

Vp = 1 [m/s]

What is the importance of time ?
lesantik [10]
I think that the importance of time is to allow there to be order. People need to be somewhere at a certain time and not just whenever they want. It allows people to get things done more efficiently. <span />

Help me with theses 2 questions please.
spin [16.1K]

1)

Answer: A inclined plane and staircase reaching the same height. Work depends on initial and final position only.

Explanation:

The amount of work done does not depend on path length. It depends on initial and final position. It is given by gravitational potential energy.

W = m g h

Where, m is the mass of the object, g is the acceleration due to gravity and h is the height.

Let the mass of the object be m. Two different paths ( one inclines plane and another staircase) are taken to same point. The object would gain same gravitational potential energy because it depends on the height through which the object is taken and not the actual path length.

W ∝ h.

2)

Spring constant can be defined as the ratio of amount of force acting spring  with the displacement caused due to the force. A deformed elastic object has elastic potential energy stored in it which is equal to the work done to deform the object. It is proportional to the spring constant and amount of stretched distance.

Equilibrium is reached when the net force acting on the spring is zero. In equilibrium state, the object has natural extension.  An object is said to possess elastic potential energy  when force is applied and object deforms relative to original equilibrium shape or length.
