A child on a 2.4 kg scooter at rest throws a 2.2 kg ball. The ball is given a speed of 3.1 m/s and the child and scooter move in

the opposite directions at 0.45 m/s. Find the child's mass.

Answer:

The child's mass is 14.133 kg

Explanation:

From the principle of conservation of linear momentum, we have;

(m₁ + m₂) × v₁ + m₃ × v₂ = (m₁ + m₂)  × v₃ - m₃ × v₄

We include the negative sign as the velocities were given as moving in the opposite directions

Since the child and the ball are at rest, we have;

v₁ = 0 m/s and v₂= 0 m/s

Hence;

0 = m₁ × v₃ - m₂ × v₄

(m₁ + m₂)× v₃ = m₃ × v₄

Where:

m₁ = Mass of the child

m₂ = Mass of the scooter = 2.4 kg

v₃ = Final velocity of the child and scooter = 0.45 m/s

m₃ = Mass of the ball = 2.4 kg

v₄ = Final velocity of the ball = 3.1 m/s

Plugging the values gives;

(m₁ + 2.4)× 0.45 = 2.4 × 3.1

(m₁ + 2.4) = 16.533

∴ m₁ + 2.4 = 16.533

m₁ = 16.533 - 2.4 = 14.133 kg

The child's mass = 14.133 kg.

Having more than one atom in its molecule doesn't make
a substance a compound.  It's only a compound if it has
atoms of different elements in its molecule.

If the charge on the negative plate of the capacitor is 121 nano-Coulomb, how many excess electrons are on that plate? Write you
Julli [10]

Answer:

n = 756.25 giga electrons

Explanation:

It is given that,

If the charge on the negative plate of the capacitor, Q=121\ nC=121\times 10^{-9}\ C

Let n is the number of excess electrons are on that plate. Using the quantization of charges, the total charge on the negative plate is given by :

Q=ne

e is the charge on electron

n=\dfrac{Q}{e}

n=\dfrac{121\times 10^{-9}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}

n=7.5625\times 10^{11}

or

n = 756.25 giga electrons

So, there are 756.25 giga electrons are on the plate. Hence, this is the required solution.

In lecture, it was discussed measurements of mass, temperature, time, volume and length. which of these is not an si base unit (
photoshop1234 [79]

From the options provided in the question, the measurement which is not an SI base unit is volume.

<h3>What is SI base unit?</h3>

This is referred to as the standard and fundamental unit of measurement of various quantities or variables which is defined arbitrarily and not by combinations of other units.

Volume is a quantity which is derived from the combination of lengths in a  three-dimensional manner which is why the formula is length× breadth×height and the unit is cm³. This is gotten from the combination of the unit of length which is cm.

This is therefore the reason why volume was chosen as the most appropriate choice.
