Sally is on a canoe that comes to a stop a small distance from the dock. Since it is such a small distance, Sally decides to jum

p to the dock. She makes the jump, but the canoe moves away from her as she jumps. Since Sally is interested to see what happens on other boats, she makes the same jump from a fishing boat that is much larger than the canoe. Which boat will move away from Sally more quickly?
a. The canoe will move away from Sally more quickly because the fishing boat is larger in mass.
b. The fishing boat will move away from Sally more quickly because it is larger in mass.
c. Both boats will move away at the same speed because Sally has not changed mass and momentum must be conserved.
d. It is impossible to predict which boat moves away from Sally more quickly.

Answer:

 v₂> v₃  velocity canoe is more than velocity fishing boat

Explanation:

For this exercise we must define a system consisting of the girl, Sally and the boat, in one case the canoe and in the other the fishing boat; for this system we can use moment conservation

Initial moment. Before the jump

           p₀ = (M + m₂) v

Final moment. After the jump

          p_{f} = M v₁ - m₂ v₂

Where m and v are the masses and speed of the canoe

          p₀ = p_{f}

          (M + m₂) v = M v₁ - m₂ v₂

In the case of changing the canoe for the heaviest fishing boat, the final moment is

          p_{f} = M v₁ - m₃ v₃

          p₀ = p_{f}

           (M + m₃) v = M v₁ - m₃ v₃

Since the canoe is stopped the speed v = 0, we write the speed of each boat

Canoe

          0 = M v₁ - m₂ v₂

          v₂ = M / m₂ v₁

Fishing boat

        0 = M v₁ - m₃ v₃

        v₃ = M / m₃ v₁

Since the masses of the fishing boat (m₃) is greater than the mass of the canoe (m₂) the speed of the fishing boat is less than the speed of the canoe, we can find the relationship between the two speeds

        v₂ / v₃ = m₃ / m₂

Here you can see what  v₂> v₃  velocity canoe is more than velocity fishing boat

One end of a thin rod is attached to a pivot, about which it can rotate without friction. Air resistance is absent. The rod has
Scrat [10]

Answer:

5.24 m/s

Explanation:

So for the rod to be able to rise upward to the straight up position, the kinetic energy caused by linear speed v0 must be just enough to convert into the potential energy.

Since the rod is uniform in mass, we can treat the body as 1 point, at its center of mass, or geometric center, aka 0.35 / 2 = 0.175 m from the pivot.

For the rod to swing from bottom to top, the center must have moved a distance of h = 0.175 * 2 = 0.35 m, vertically speaking.

Since we neglect friction and air resistance, according to the law of energy conservation then:

E_k = E_p

mv^2/2 = mgh

Where v is the speed at the center of mass, g = 9.81 m/s2 is the gravitational acceleration, and m is the mass. We can divide both sides by m

v^2 = 2gh = 2*9.81*0.35 = 6.867

v = \sqrt{6.867} = 2.62 m/s

As this is only the speed at the center of mass, the speed at the bottom end would be different, to calculate this, we need to find the common angular speed:

\omega = v / r = 2.62 / 0.175 = 14.97 rad/s

Where r is the rotation radius, or the distance from pivot point to the center of mass

v_0 = \omega R = 14.97*0.35 = 5.24 m/s

Where R is the distance from the pivot to the bottom end of the rod
