A 72.8-kg swimmer is standing on a stationary 265-kg floating raft. The swimmer then runs off the raft horizontally with a veloc
1 answer:
Answer:
-1.43 m/s relative to the shore
Explanation:
Total momentum must be conserved before and after the run. Since they were both stationary before, their total speed, and momentum, is 0, so is the total momentum after the run off:
where are the mass of the swimmer and raft, respectively.
are the velocities of the swimmer and the raft after the run, respectively. We can solve for
So the recoil velocity that the raft would have is -1.43 m/s after the swimmer runs off, relative to the shore

Answer:
Explanation:
a ) Slit separation d = .1 x 10⁻³ m
Screen distance D = 4 m
wave length of light λ = 650 x 10⁻⁹ m
Width of central fringe = λ D / d
=
= 26 mm
b ) Distance between 1 st and 2 nd bright fringe will be equal to width of dark fringe which will also be equal to 26 mm
c ) Angular separation between the central maximum and 1 st order maximum will be equal to angular width of fringe which is equal to
λ / d
=
= 6.5 x 10⁻³ radian.
Answer:
t=17.838s
Explanation:
The displacement is divided in two sections, the first is a section with constant acceleration, and the second one with constant velocity. Let's consider the first:
The acceleration is, by definition:
So, the velocity can be obtained by integrating this expression:
The velocity is, by definition: , so
.
Do x=11 in order to find the time spent.
At this time the velocity is:
This velocity remains constant in the section 2, so for that section the movement equation is:
The left distance is 89 meters, and the velocity is , so:
So, the total time is 14.303+3.5355s=17.838s
