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

A machine can never be 100% efficient because some work is always lost due to what?
katrin [286]

A machine can never be 100% efficient because some work is always lost due to the lack of materials or equipment that would convert work by 100%. It follows the second law of entropy. The ideal engine is known as Carnot’s engine having a 100% efficiency. So far, no engine has ever gotten to 100%.

What is the force of an object with a mass of 30 kg that is free falling?
disa [49]

Answer:

F = 294.3 [N]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law which tells us that force is equal to the product of mass by acceleration. It is this particular case the acceleration is due to the gravitational acceleration since the body is in free fall.

Therefore we have:

F = m*g

where:

F  = force [N]

m = mass = 30 [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s^2]

F = 30*9.81

F = 294.3 [N]

A train crosses a bridge that is 1300 m long in 1 minute and 5 seconds.
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

I'm pretty sure it's 20m/s because 1300m divided by 65 seconds is 20 so I think it's 20m/s

Calculate the velocity of a wave that has a frequency of 60 Hz and wavelength of 2.0 m/s
mote1985 [20]

Answer:We have , a relation in frequency f and wavelength  λ of a wave having the velocity v as ,

           v=fλ ,

given f=60Hz , λ=20m ,

therefore velocity of wave , v=60×20=1200m/s
