Answer:

Explanation:

Boy information

Mass = 50kg

Velocity = 5m/s

Trolley information

Mass = 20 kg

Velocity = 1.5 m/s

so using conservation law of momentum

MV + mv = ( M + m ) v'

50*5 + 20*1.5 = ( 50 + 20 ) v'

250 + 30 = 70 v'

280 = 70 v'

so v' = 4m/s which is their common velocity.

A car travels straight for 20 miles on a road that is 30° north of east. What is the east component of the car’s displacement
Over [174]

The east component of the cars displacement is 17.3 miles.

Trigonometric ratio is used to show the relationship between the sides of a right angled triangle and its angles.

Let x represent the east component of the cars displacement.

Using trigonometric ratio:

cos(30) = x / 20

x = 20 * cos(30)

x = 17.3 miles

The east component of the cars displacement is 17.3 miles.

Find the velocity, acceleration, and speed of a particle with the given position function. r(t = t2i 6tj 4 ln t k
artcher [175]
1st derivative gives velocity;
d r(t)/ dt = 2t i + 6 j + 4/t k

2nd derivative gives acceleration;
d^2 r(t)/ dt^2 = 2 i - 4/ t^2

Speed ;
Square root of (4 t^2 + 36 + 16/ t^2)

For a given time, like 2 seconds, t will be 2. And answer of speed will be scalar.

The Huka Falls on the Waikato River is one of New Zealand's most visited natural tourist attractions. On average, the river has
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

(a) V = 0.75 m/s

(b) V = 0.125 m/s

Explanation:

The speed of the flow of the river can be given by following formula:

V = Q/A

V = Q/w d

where,

V = Speed of Flow of River

Q = Volume Flow Rate of River

w = width of river

d = depth of river

A = Area of Cross-Section of River = w d

(a)

Here,

Q = (300,000 L/s)(0.001 m³/1 L) = 300 m³/s

w = 20 m

d = 20 m

Therefore,

V = (300 m³/s)/(20 m)(20 m)

<u>V = 0.75 m/s</u>

<u></u>

(b)

Here,

Q = (300,000 L/s)(0.001 m³/1 L) = 300 m³/s

w = 60 m

d = 40 m

Therefore,

V = (300 m³/s)/(60 m)(40 m)

<u>V = 0.125 m/s</u>
