A 45 kg boy runs at a rate of 2.5 m/s and jumps on top of a stationary skateboard that has a mass of 4 kg. After jumping onto th

e board, the boy and the board travel off together. Assuming that momentum is conserved, what is the final speed of the boy and the board?

Answer:

v = 2.29 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that the external force on the system of mass of boy + board is ZERO

So here we can use momentum conservation

now we have

$m_1v_1 + m_2v_2 = (m_1 + m_2) v$

now we have

$45 (2.5) + 4(0) = (45 + 4) v$

now we have

$v = \frac{45}{49} (2.5)$

$v = 2.29 m/s$

Answer:

V = 2.29 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the boy, $m_1=45\ kg$

Mass of the skateboard, $m_2=4\ kg$

Initial speed of the boy, v = 2.5 m/s

Let V is the final velocity of the boy and the board. The net momentum of the system remains constant. Using the conservation of linear momentum to find it as :

$45\times 2.5=(45+4)V$

$V=\dfrac{45\times 2.5}{(45+4)}$

V = 2.29 m/s

So, the velocity of the boat after Batman lands in it 2.29 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

The distance between the ruled lines on a diffraction grating is 1900 nm. The grating is illuminated at normal incidence with a

SashulF [63]

Answer:

3.28 degree

Explanation:

We are given that

Distance between the ruled lines on a diffraction grating, d=1900nm= $1900\times 10^{-9}m$

Where $1nm=10^{-9} m$

$\lambda_2=400nm=400\times10^{-9}m$

$\lambda_1=700nm=700\times 10^{-9}m$

We have to find the angular width of the gap between the first order spectrum and the second order spectrum.

We know that

$\theta=sin^{-1}(\frac{m\lambda}{d})$

Using the formula

m=1

$\theta_1=sin^{-1}(\frac{1\times700\times 10^{-9}}{1900\times 10^{-9}})$

$\theta=21.62^{\circ}$

Now, m=2

$\theta_2=sin^{-1}(\frac{2\times400\times 10^{-9}}{1900\times 10^{-9}})$

$\theta_2=24.90^{\circ}$

$\Delta \theta=\theta_2-\theta_1$

$\Delta \theta=24.90-21.62$

$\Delta \theta=3.28^{\circ}$

Hence, the angular width of the gap between the first order spectrum and the second order spectrum=3.28 degree

Scrat [10]

Answer:

Power required will be 7.2 watt

Explanation:

We have given battery of Barble jeep is 6 volt

So potential difference V = 6 volt

Resistance of electric motor R = 5 ohm '

We have to find the power motor using to drive the jeep

Power is given by $P=\frac{V^2}{R}$ , here V is voltage and R is resistance

So $P=\frac{V^2}{R}=\frac{6^2}{5}=7.2watt$

When a falling meteoroid is at a distance above the earth's surface of 2.60 times the earth's radius, what is its acceleration d

Mice21 [21]

The gravitational acceleration at any distance r is given by

$g= \frac{GM}{r^2}$

where G is the gravitational constant, M the Earth's mass and r is the distance measured from the center of the Earth.

The Earth's radius is $r_e=6.37 \cdot 10^6 m$ , so the meteoroid is located at a distance of:

$r=r_e+2.60 r_e =3.60 r_e = 2.29 \cdot 10^7 m$

And by substituting this value into the previous formula, we can find the value of g at that altitude:

$g= \frac{GM}{r^2} = \frac{(6.67 \cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2})(5.97 \cdot 10^{24} kg)}{(2.29 \cdot 10^7 m)^2} =0.75 m/s^2$
