Answer:

0.82 m/s

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of momentum,

Total momentum = Final momentum.

mu+m'u' = V(m+m')......................... equation 1

Where m = mass of Lillian, u = initial velocity of Lillian before she catches the dog, m' = mass of the dog, u' = initial velocity of the dog, V = velocity of Lillian and the dog.

make V the subject of the equation,

V = (mu+m'u')/(m+m')................ Equation 2

Given: m = 40 kg, m' = 15 kg, u = 0 m/s (Lillian was standing at rest), u' = 3.0 m/s.

Substitute into equation 2

V = (40×0+15×3)/(40+15)

V = (0+45)/55

V = 45/55

V = 0.82 m/s

A scientist is planning an experiment that will include the measurement of temperatures. She wishes to avoid using negative valu
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

C.

Explanation:

Fahrenheit scale is a temperature scale that measures the boiling point of water at 212 degrees F and the freezing point at 32 degrees F. The Fahrenheit scale was developed by the German scientist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in 1724.

In the given scenario, the scientist, who wishes to measure the temperature of her experiment which will expectantly be colder than the point of water, should use the Fahrenheit scale.

So, the correct answer is option C.

(NEED HELP PLEASE) A physics student goes to the roof of the school, 24.15 m above the ground, and drops a pumpkin straight down
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

t = 2.2 s

Explanation:

Given that,

Height of the roof, h = 24.15 m

The initial velocity of the pumpkin, u = 0

We need to find the time taken for the pumpkin to hit the ground. Let the time be t. Using second equation of kinematics to find it as follows :

h=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

Here, u = 0 and a = g

h=\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2h}{g}} \\\\t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 24.15}{9.8}} \\\\t=2.22\ s

So, it will take 2.22 s for the pumpkin to hit the ground.
