Answer:
V = -1.33 m/s
Explanation:
Given,
The mass of the camper, m = 100 kg
The velocity of the camper, v = 3.0 m/s
The combined mass of canoe and another camper, M = 225 kg
The velocity of the combined canoe and another camper, V = ?
According to the law of conservation of momentum,
MV + mv = 0 (Since the initial momentum of the dock is 0)
V = -mv/M
= -100 x 3/225
= -1.33 m/s
The negative sign indicates that the combined objects moves opposite to that of the camper.
Hence, the velocity of the combined canoe and camper is, V = -1.33 m/s
Answer:
The strength of gravity decreases.
An example of that would be if you were in space; you float around because there's no gravity.
If the velocity is decreased by half, then Kinetic energy will reduced to it's 4 times,
= 1.9 * 10³ / 4
= 4.75 * 10²
In short, Your Answer would be Option B
Hope this helps!
<span>Objects that fall near Earth’s surface are rarely in free fall.
"Free fall" is the situation where the ONLY force on an object is
the force of gravity, and nothing else.
Objects near Earth's surface are almost always surrounded by air.
If they are falling, then the air is exerting forces on them, and they
are not in "free fall".</span>
