A wagon is rolling forward on level ground. Friction is negligible. The person sitting in the wagon is holding a rock. The total

mass of the wagon, rider, and rock is 93.5 kg. The mass of the rock is 0.310 kg. Initially the wagon is rolling forward at a speed of 0.540 m/s. Then the person throws the rock with a speed of 16.5 m/s. Both speeds are relative to the ground. Find the speed of the wagon after the rock is thrown directly forward.

Explanation:

Given Data

Total mass=93.5 kg

Rock mass=0.310 kg

Initially wagon speed=0.540 m/s

rock speed=16.5 m/s

To Find

The speed of the wagon

Solution

As the wagon rolls, momentum is given as

P=mv

where

m is mass

v is speed

put the values

P=93.5kg × 0.540 m/s

P =50.49 kg×m/s

Now we have to find the momentum of rock

momentum of rock = mv

momentum of rock = (0.310kg)×(16.5 m/s)

momentum of rock =5.115 kg×m/s  

From the conservation of momentum we can find the wagons momentum So

wagon momentum=50.49 -5.115 = 45.375 kg×m/s  

Speed of wagon = wagon momentum/(total mass-rock mass)

Speed of wagon=45.375/(93.5-0.310)

Speed of wagon= 0.487 m/s

Throwing rock backward,

momentum of wagon = 50.49+5.115 = 55.605  kg×m/s

Speed of wagon = wagon momentum/(total mass-rock mass)

speed of wagon = 55.605  kg×m/s/(93.5kg-0.310kg)

speed of wagon= 0.5967 m/s

An insulated thermos contains 106.0 cm3 of hot coffee at a temperature of 80.0 °C. You put in 11.0 g of ice cube at its melting
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

the final temperature is T f = 64.977 ° C≈ 65°C

Explanation:

Since the thermus is insulated, the heat absorbed by the ice is the heat released by the coffee. Thus:

Q coffee + Q ice = Q surroundings =0 (insulated)

We also know that the ice at its melting point , that is 0 °C ( assuming that the thermus is at atmospheric pressure= 1 atm , and has an insignificant amount of impurities ).

The heat released by coffee is sensible heat : Q = m * c * (T final - T initial)

The heat absorbed by ice is latent heat and sensible heat : Q = m * L + m * c * (T final - T initial)

therefore

m co * c co * (T fco - T ico) + m ice * L + m ice * c wat  * (T fwa - T iwa) = 0

assuming specific heat capacity of coffee is approximately the one of water c co = c wa = 4.186 J/g°C and the density of coffee is the same as water

d co = dw = 1 gr/cm³

therefore m co = d co * V co = 1 gr / cm³ * 106 cm³ = 106 gr

m co * c wat * (T f  - T ico) + m ice * L + m ice * c wat  * (T f - T iwa) = 0

m co * c wat * T f+ m ice * c wat  * T f  = m ice * c wat  * T iwa  + m co * c wat * Tico -m ice * L

T f  = (m ice * c wat  * T iwa  + m co * c wat * Tico -m ice * L ) /( m co * c wat * + m ice * c wat )

replacing values

T f = (11 g * 4.186 J/g°C * 0°C +  106 g * 4.186 J/g°C*80°C - 11 g * 334 J/gr) / ( 11 g * 4.186 J/g°C +  106 g * 4.186 J/g°C* ) = 64,977 ° C

T f = 64.977 ° C

Improving your cardiovascular endurance, such as aerobic activity, can get your heart pumping, make you sweaty, and quicken your
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

The correct answer is - oxygen.

Explanation:

Cardiovascular endurance is the ability to do physical activity or exercise without affecting or being tired for a longer time period. Aerobic exercise or activity can help to increase cardiovascular endurance.

Improving the cardiovascular system helps in delivering oxygen as per the demands with the help of the heart that pumps the oxygen-rich blood to different organs of an individual and lungs by inhaling enough oxygen.
