Answer:

.7917 m/s

Explanation:

This is a conservation of momentum question. You have an object initially at rest (cart) so that object is initially at 0 momentum. Indiana Jones is 83.5 kg and running 3.75 m/s so he starts with a momentum of 313.125 kg * m/s because momentum is equal to mass * velocity. Once the person jumps in the cart, the cart and the person can be considered one object and by conservation of momentum, the momentum of the Indiana-cart system is equal to 313.125 kg * m/s. By that, we can set that momentum equal to the combined mass * joint velocity. So 313.125 = (83.5kg + 312kg) * joint velocity. Then just solve for the velocity. The answer should be smaller than the intial velocity of the person of 3.75 m/s because the mine cart is HUGE at 312kg.

How is the Sun related to nuclear electromagnetic and heat energy
Snezhnost [94]

-- The source of most of the energy that radiates from the sun is nuclear energy.

-- Most of the energy that radiates from the sun is electromagnetic energy.

-- Heat energy is part of the electromagnetic energy that radiates from the sun.
Other parts include radio, microwave, visible light, ultraviolet, and X-ray energy.

The radius of Saturn is about 10 times the radius of Venus and the mass is about 100 times that of Venus. How much larger is the
lora16 [44]

let the mass of Venus is M then mass of Saturn is 100 M

similarly if the radius of Venus is R then the radius of Saturn is 10 R

now the force of gravity on a man of mass "m" at the surface of Venus is given by

F_1 = \frac{GMm}{R^2}

now similarly the gravitational force on the man if he is at the surface of Saturn

F_2 = \frac{G*100M*m}{(10R)^2}

F_2 = \frac{GMm}{R^2}

so here if we divide the two forces

\frac{F_1}{F_2} = 1

so here we can say

F1 = F2

so on both planets the gravitational force will be same

Why does the sky change colors at sunset?
KiRa [710]

Atmospheric refraction is the deviation of light or other electromagnetic wave from a straight line as it passes through the atmosphere due to the variation in air density as a function of height. ... Refraction not only affects visible light rays, but all electromagnetic radiation, although in varying degrees.

So in short, the answer is D.

(My answer got deleted because it didnt explain which is dumb)

Which material is used to reduce friction ?
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:MOST COMMON METHOD IS USING A LUBRICANT -

A lubricant is a substance, usually organic, introduced to reduce friction between surfaces in ... medical examination. It is mainly used to reduce friction and to contribute to a better and efficient functioning of a mechanism. ... For lubricant base oil use, the vegetable derived materials are preferred

OTHER METHODS-

There are a number of ways to reduce friction:

Make the surfaces smoother. ...

Lubrication is another way to make a surface smoother.

Make the object more streamlined.

Reduce the forces acting on the surfaces.

Reduce the contact between the surfaces.
