Answer:

The combined speed of camper and canoe is 1.71 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of camper 1, m = 100 kg

Speed of camper 1, v = 3 m/s

The combined mass of another camper and canoe is, M = 175 kg

We need to find the combined speed of camper and canoe. According to the conservation of linear momentum, the momentum of first camper is equal to linear momentum of the canoe and the second camper.

mv=MV\\\\V=\dfrac{mv}{M}\\\\V=\dfrac{100\times 3}{175}\\\\V=1.71\ m/s

So, the combined speed of camper and canoe is 1.71 m/s.

What if we all jumped at the same time?

Technically, this delivers a lot of energy into the Earth, but it’s spread out over a large enough area that it doesn’t do much more than leave footprints in a lot of gardens. A slight pulse of pressure spreads through the North American continental crust and dissipates with little effect. The sound of all those feet hitting the ground creates a loud, drawn-out roar which lasts many seconds.

An electric pump has 2kW power . How much water will it lift every minute if the height is 10 m ?
valkas [14]

Answer:

Given that,

  • Power = 2000 W
  • time = 60 seconds
  • distance= 10m

Power = work done ÷ time

Here, since the movement is vertical, w = mgh

So,

Power = mgh÷t

2000 = (m × 9.8 ×10) ÷ 60

m = (2000 ×60) ÷98

m = 1224.5kg

An ant moves at 5 cm/s. It takes her 2 minutes to cross a road. How wide is the road?
Alecsey [184]

so as this ant moves

5 cm every second you multiply 5 by 120 (60 per minute as there are 60 seconds in a minute)

this is 600 cm

or

6 meters

A bullet with a mass of 0.02 kg is fired horizontally into a block of wood hanging on a string. The bullet sricks in the wood an
djyliett [7]

Answer:

u= 20.09 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

m = 0.02 kg

M= 2 kg

h= 0.2 m

Lets take initial speed of bullet = u m/s

The final speed of the system will be zero.

From energy conservation

1/2 m u²+ 0 = 0+ (m+M) g h

m u²=2 (m+M) g h

By putting the values

0.02 x u² = 2 (0.02+2) x 10 x 0.2       ( take g=10 m/s²)

u= 20.09 m/s

1. Do alto de uma plataforma com 15m de altura, é lançado horizontalmente um projéctil. Pretende-se atingir um alvo localizado n
sveta [45]

Answer:

(a). The initial velocity is 28.58m/s

(b). The speed when touching the ground is 33.3m/s.

Explanation:

The equations governing the position of the projectile are

(1).\: x =v_0t

(2).\: y= 15m-\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

where v_0 is the initial velocity.

(a).

When the projectile hits the 50m mark, y=0; therefore,

0=15-\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

solving for t we get:

t= 1.75s.

Thus, the projectile must hit the 50m mark in 1.75s, and this condition demands from equation (1) that

50m = v_0(1.75s)

which gives

\boxed{v_0 = 28.58m/s.}

(b).

The horizontal velocity remains unchanged just before the projectile touches the ground because gravity acts only along the vertical direction; therefore,

v_x = 28.58m/s.

the vertical component of the velocity is

v_y = gt \\v_y = (9.8m/s^2)(1.75s)\\\\{v_y = 17.15m/s.

which gives a speed v of

v = \sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}

\boxed{v =33.3m/s.}
