To get off a frozen lake, a 70 kg person removes his shoe of mass 0.175 kg and throws it horizontally away from the shore at a v

Answer:

the person will be in the shore at 10.73 minutes after launch the shoe.

Explanation:

For this we will use the law of the lineal momentum.

L_i = L_f

Also,

L = MV

where M is de mass and V the velocity.

replacing,

M_i V_i = M_{fp}V_{fp} + M_{fz}V_{fz}

wher Mi y Vi are the initial mass and velocity, Mfp y Vfp are the final mass and velocity of the person and Mfz y Vfz are the final mass and velocity of the shoe.

so, we will take the direction where be launched the shoe as negative. then:

(70)(0) = (70-0.175)(V_fp) + (0.175)(-3.2m/s)

solving for V_fp,

V_fp = \frac{(3.2)(0.175)}{69.825}

V_fp = 0.008m/s

for know when the person will be in the shore we will use the rule of three as:

1 second -------------- 0.008m

t seconds-------------- 5.15m

solving for t,

t = 5.15m/0.008m

t = 643.75 seconds = 10.73 minutes

How are balanced and unbalanced forces related to motion?
Aliun [14]

Answer:

Balanced forces do not result in any change in motion. forces: forces applied to an object in opposite directions that are not equal in size. Unbalanced forces result in a change in motion.

Geologists know the past temperature of the planet based on rock and fossil evidence. Why do you think it is difficult to determ
Basile [38]

Answer:

I think it is difficult to determine what has caused climate change in the distant past because it must have been a long time ago so geologists can't carry out different experiments and figure out what gases the planet had conjured, so geologists can only make predictions based off the evidence they currently have from what the planet looked like before. The planet must have changed over the years, therefore the climate has also changed in the future, so they cannot work with how the planet looked in the past.

State any two effects of gravitational force​
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]
Connection to Big Idea about energy: Gravity creates gravitational potential energy. Gravitational energy relies on the masses of two bodies and their distance.

Connection to Big Idea about the universe: Gravitational force is exerted by all objects with mass throughout the Universe. It is what keeps the Earth and the planets in orbit around the Sun, and our Solar System in orbit around the centre of the Milky Way. Gravity is one of the forces involved in the birth of stars, their evolution and finally their death.

Connection to Big Idea about Earth: The gravitational force is responsible for many physical properties of Earth and consequently it affects the existence and the properties of living creatures on it. For instance, the existence, the chemical composition and the structure of Earth’s atmosphere was determined by Earth’s gravitational force.

A 57-kg woman holds a 6-kg package as she stands within an elevator which briefly accelerates upward at a rate of 0.15g. Determi
Temka [501]

Answer:

R = 710.7N

L = 67.689 N

During gravity fall L = R = 0 N

Explanation:

So the acceleration that the elevator is acting on the woman (and the package) in order to result in a net acceleration of 0.15g is

g + 0.15g = 1.15g

The force R that the elevator exerts on her feet would be product of acceleration and total mass (Newton's 2nd law):

a(m + M) = 1.15g(57 + 6) = 1.15*9.81*63 = 710.7N

The force L that she exerts on the package would be:

am = 1.15g *6 = 1.15*9.81*6 = 67.689N

When the system is falling, all have a net acceleration of g. So the acceleration that the elevator exerts on the woman (and the package) is 0, and so are the forces L and R.
