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.

LenKa [72]

To solve this problem we need the concepts of Energy fluency and Intensity from chemical elements.

The energy fluency is given by the equation

\Psi=4RcE\pi

Where

\Psi =The energy fluency

c = Activity of the source

r = distance

E = electric field

In the other hand we have the equation for current in materials, which is given by

I= I_0 e^{-\mu_{h20}X_{h2o}} e^{-\mu_{Fe}X_{Fe}}

Then replacing our values we have that

I = 1*10^{-3} * 3.3*10^{10} * e ^{-0.06*1.1} e^{-0.058*7.861}

I = 1.3*10^7 Bq

We can conclude in this part that 1.3*10^7Bq is the activity coming out of the cylinder.

Now the energy fluency would be,

\Psi = \frac{cE}{4\pir^2}

\Psi = \frac{1.3*10^7*2*1.25}{4\pi*11^2}

\Psi = 2.14*10^4 MeV/cm^2.s

The  uncollided flux density at the outer surface of the tank nearest the source is \Psi = 2.14*10^4 MeV/cm^2.s

Increasing the two objects will cause the gravitational force between the objects to decrease.
ELEN [110]
This statement is false. Increasing the two objects' mass (I'm guessing) will actually increase their gravitational force. This is because of the equation:

F_g =  \frac{Gm_1m_2}{d^2}

If the distance was increased, then the statement would be true, but since you are increasing mass, which is proportional to the Force of Gravity, you are in fact, increasing the gravitational force between the two objects.

Georgia [21]

Answer:

Two charged objects have a repulsive force of 0.080 N. If the charge of both of the objects is doubled, then what is the new force? Explanation: Electrostatic force is directly related to the charge of each object. So if the charge of both objects is doubled, then the force will become four times greater.

Explanation:

hope this helps

Which of the following observations indicates that an object is falling at terminal velocity?
vitfil [10]

Answer:  D

Explanation:

When an object falls gravity is pulling down on it and is picking up speed, but as it gains speed air resistance becomes a faster. Air resistance increases with speed. And that force keeps it from accelerating eventually the object will pick up speed such that the force due to air resistance will keep it from getting any more speed at that point force due to air resistance is equal to its weight (mg) and the net force is equal to zero so it won’t accelerate any more at that point it is said to be moving in terminal velocity.

When an object has reached terminal velocity, it will have a constant velocity
