As a prank, your friends have kidnapped you in your sleep, and transported you out onto the ice covering a local pond. When you

wake up you are 32.5 m from the nearest shore. The ice is so slippery (i.e. frictionless) that you cannot seem to get yourself moving. You realize that you can use Newton's third law to your advantage, and choose to throw the heaviest thing you have, one boot, in order to get yourself moving. Take your weight to be 547 N. 1)(a) What direction should you throw your boot so that you will most quickly reach the shore?

A fire woman dropped a person onto the safety net. Right
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

m = 28.7[kg]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the definition of kinetic energy, which can be calculated by means of the following equation.

E_{k}=\frac{1}{2}*m*v^{2}\\

where:

Ek = kinetic energy = 1800 [J]

m = mass [kg]

v = 11.2 [m/s]

1800=\frac{1}{2}*m*(11.2)^{2}\\m = 28.7[kg]

A cheetah can run at a maximum speed 103 km/h and a gazelle can run at a maximum speed of 76.5 km/h. If both animals are running
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

1

 t_a  =  13.49 \  s

2

 The distance is   D = 55.2 \  m    

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The maximum speed of the cheetah is  v =  103 \  km/h =  28.61 \  m/s

    The maximum of  gazelle is  u =  76.5 \  km/h =  21.25 \  m/s

     The distance ahead is d =  99.3 \  m

Let  t_a denote the time which the cheetah catches the gazelle

Gnerally the equation representing the distance the cheetah needs to move in order to catch the gazelle is

           v* t_a = d +  u* t_a

=>          28.61 t_a = 99.3 +  21.25t_a

=>          7.36 t_a = 99.3

=>         t_a  =  13.49 \  s

Now at t =  7.5 s  

             7.5 v = D+  7.5u

=>          28.61 * 7.5  = D +  21.25* 7.5

=>          7.36 *  7.5 =D

=>         D = 55.2 \  m        

Hence the for the gazelle to escape the cheetah it must be 55.2 m

You have 1.2kg of (AU)gold (that's quite a bit of money at $1839/ounce). Using a heat source you apply 3096 J to the gold and re
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

129 J/Kg°C

Explanation:

Given :

Mass of gold, m = 1.2kg

Quantity of heat applied, Q = 3096 J

Temperature, t2 = 40°C

Temperature, t1 = 20°C

Change in temperature, dt = (40-20)°C = 20°C

Using the relation :

Q = mcdt

Where, C = specific heat capacity of gold

3096 = 1.2kg * C * 20°C

3096 J = 24kg°C * C

C = 3096 J / 24 kg°C

C = 129 J/Kg°C
