A 82-kg fisherman in a 112-kg boat throws a package of mass m = 15 kg horizontally toward the right with a speed of vi = 4.8 m/s

as in the figure below. Neglecting water resistance, and assuming the boat is at rest before the package is thrown, find the velocity of the boat after the package is thrown.

Answer:

0.37 m/s to the left

Explanation:

Momentum is conserved.  Initial momentum = final momentum.

m₁ u₁ + m₂ u₂ = m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂

Initially, both the fisherman/boat and the package are at rest.

0 = m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂

Plugging in values and solving:

0 = (82 kg + 112 kg) v + (15 kg) (4.8 m/s)

v = -0.37 m/s

The boat's velocity is 0.37 m/s to the left.

kumpel [21]

Answer:\frac{D_A}{v_B-v_A}

Explanation:

Given

car A had a head start of D_A

and it starts at x=0 and t=0

Car B has to travel a distance of D_A and d_a

where d_a is the distance travel by car A in time t

distance travel by car A is

d_a=v_A\times t

For car B with  speed v_B

d_B=D_A+d_a

v_B\times t=D_A+v_A\times t

t=\frac{D_A}{v_B-v_A}

In a laundromat, during the spin-dry cycle of a washer, the rotating tub goes from rest to its maximum angular speed of 2.2 rev/
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

n_{T} = 31.68\,rev

Explanation:

The angular acceleration is:

\ddot n_{1} = \frac{2.2\,\frac{rev}{s} -0\,\frac{rev}{s} }{8.8\,s}

\ddot n_{1} = 0.25\,\frac{rev}{s^{2}}

And the angular deceleration is:

\ddot n_{2} = \frac{0\,\frac{rev}{s}-2.2\,\frac{rev}{s} }{20\,s}

\ddot n_{2} = -0.11\,\frac{rev}{s^{2}}

The total number of revolutions is:

n_{T} = n_{1} + n_{2}

n_{T} = \frac{\left(2.2\,\frac{rev}{s} \right)^{2}-\left(0\,\frac{rev}{s} \right)^{2}}{2\cdot \left(0.25\,\frac{rev}{s^{2}} \right)} + \frac{\left(0\,\frac{rev}{s} \right)^{2}-\left(2.2\,\frac{rev}{s} \right)^{2}}{2\cdot \left(-0.11\,\frac{rev}{s^{2}} \right)}

n_{T} = 31.68\,rev
