A lumberjack (mass = 103 kg) is standing at rest on one end of a floating log (mass = 277 kg) that is also at rest. The lumberja

ck runs to the other end of the log, attaining a velocity of +3.74 m/s relative to the shore, and then hops onto an identical floating log that is initially at rest. Neglect any friction and resistance between the logs and the water. (a) What is the velocity of the first log (again relative to the shore) just before the lumberjack jumps off? (b) Determine the velocity of the second log (again relative to the shore) if the lumberjack comes to rest relative to the second log.

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of lumber jack m_L=1000 kg

mass of floating log m_f=277 kg

velocity of lumber jack =3.74 m/s (w.r.t. shore)

conserving momentum

Initial momentum=Final momentum

0=m_L\times 3.74+m_f\times v

v=-\frac{1000\times 3.74}{277}

v=-13.501 m/s

(b)For second Log

Conserving Momentum

Initial momentum of log and Lumber jack=Final momentum of log and lumberjack

m_L\times 3.74=(m_L+m_f)u

u is final velocity of lumberjack and log

u=\frac{m_L}{m_L+m_f}\times 3.74

u=\frac{1000}{1000+277}=2.92 m/s

A rock is rolling down a hill. At position 1, its velocity is 2.0 m/s. Twelve seconds later, as it passes position 2, its veloci
alukav5142 [94]
As this happens over twelve seconds, you would take the total difference in velocities and divide it by twelve to find the change per second

44.0 m/s - 2.0 m/s = 42.0 m/s 

42.0 m/s / 12 s = 3.5 m/s2

the acceleration of the rock would be 3.5 m/s2

a particle moves at a constant speed in a circular path. the instantaneous velocity and instantaneous acceleration vectors are:
Lilit [14]

The instantaneous velocity always tangential to circular path and          instantaneous acceleration always points towards the center of circle.

What is instantaneous?

The definition of instantaneous velocity is the rate of change of location during a time that is virtually zero .The replica was. The definition of instantaneous velocity is the speed of a moving item at a certain instant in time.

The rate of change of location during a relatively brief period of time is known as instantaneous velocity.

In the limit when the time (and thus the displacement) between the two places approaches zero, the instantaneous acceleration is the average acceleration between two points on the route.

so, both of them are perpendicular to each other.

To learn about instantaneous velocity
