If a boy (m = 25 kg) at rest on skates is pushed by another boy who exerts a force of 500 N on him and if the first boy's final

velocity is 20 m/s, what was the contact time?

Answer:

1 second

Explanation:

The impulse exerted on the boy is equal to its change of momentum:

I = \Delta p\\F \Delta t = m \Delta v

where

F = 500 N is the push on the boy

\Delta t is the contact time

m = 25 kg is the mass of the boy

\Delta v = 20 m/s is the change in velocity of the boy

Solving the formula for the contact time, we find

\Delta t=\frac{m\Delta v}{F}=\frac{(25 kg)(20 m/s)}{500 N}=1 s

Answer:

When iron rusts - in the presence of moisture and oxygen - iron-oxide is formed. Iron oxide is nothing but a compound of iron and oxygen. There is an increase in the mass of the iron equal to the mass of oxygen that has gone into forming the rust.

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

    d = 142.5 m

Explanation:

This is a vector exercise. Let's calculate how much the boat travels in the 40s

     d₀ = v_{b} t

    d₀ = 0.75 40

    d₀ = 30 m

Let's write the kinematic equations

Boat

     x = d₀  +  v_{b} t

     x = 0 +  v_{h} t

At the meeting point the coordinate is the same for both

    d₀  +  v_{b} t =  v_{h} t

    t ( v_{h} -  v_{b}) = d₀  

    t = d₀  / ( v_{b}-  v_{h})

The two go in the same direction therefore the speeds have the same sign

     t = 30 / (0.95-0.775)

     t = 150 s

The distance traveled by man is

     d =  v_{h} t

     d = 0.95 150

     d = 142.5 m
