Linear momentum (mass x speed) has to be conserved.

-- Momentum before the jump:

(boy's mass) x (boy's speed) = (25 kg) x (4.0 m/s) = 100 kg-m/s

(cart's mass) x (cart's speed) = (15 kg) x (zero) = zero

Total momentum before the jump:  (100 kg-m/s) + (zero) = (100 kg-m/s)

-- Momentum after the jump:

(mass of boy+cart) x (speed of boy+cart) = (40 kg) x (speed)

-- Momentum after the jump = momentum before the jump

(40 kg) x (speed) = 100 kg-m/s

Divide each side by  40 kg:

Speed = (100 kg-m/s) / (40 kg)

<em>Speed = 2.5 m/s</em>  (d)

What you filling your heart with <br>oxygen and blood
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

                    The right side of your heart receives oxygen-poor blood from your veins and pumps it to your lungs, where it picks up oxygen and gets rid of carbon dioxide. The left side of your heart receives oxygen-rich blood from your lungs and pumps it through your arteries to the rest of your body.

If you use a force of 90 N to pick up a 10 pound bag of charcoal, what is the acceleration?
hjlf

Answer:

9ms^2

Explanation:

since ,Force=mass*acceleration

then, acceleration=force/mass

and, Force=90N

Mass=10pound

therefore, acceleration=90/10

=9ms^2

What mass of a material with density rho is required to make a hollow spherical shell having inner radius r1 and outer radius r2
Margarita [4]

Answer:

m=\rho\times \frac{4}{3} \times \pi \times(r_2^3-r_1^3  )

Explanation:

  • We have to make a hollow sphere of inner  radius r_1 and outer radius r_2.

Then the mass of the material required to make such a sphere would be calculated as:

Total volume of the spherical shell:

V_t=\frac{4}{3} \pi.r_2^3

And the volume of the hollow space in the sphere:

V_h=\frac{4}{3} \pi.r_1^3

Therefore the net volume of material required to make the sphere:

V=V_t-V_h

V=\frac{4}{3} \pi(r_2^3-r_1^3)

  • Now let the density of the of the material be \rho.

<u>Then the mass of the material used is:</u>

m=\rho.V

m=\rho\times \frac{4}{3} \times \pi \times(r_2^3-r_1^3  )

A 4kg book sits on a table and your pet hamster puts his front paws on the book and pushes down with a force of 3N. What is the
Natali [406]
There are three forces acting on the book. 
1. Force due to gravity
2. Force exerted downward by the hamster
3. Normal Force in reaction to the downward forces

Since the book is not moving, the net force is zero. The summation of all forces must be zero. Then we could find the normal force which is unknown (denoted as x).

∑F = -(4 kg)(9.81 m/s2) - 3 N + x =0
∑F = -39.24 N - 3N + x =0
x = 42 N

Therefore, the normal force is 42 N.
