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.

A ray of yellow light ( f8= 5.09 × 1014 Hz) travels at a speed of 2.04×10 meters per second in
Gala2k [10]
The complete question in the attached figure
Let
c ------------------- > is the speed of light
v ------------------- > is the speed in medium
n ------------------- > is the refractive index of medium
we know that
c/v = n
n = (3 x 10^8)/(2.04 x 10^8) = 1.47

1.47 is the refractive index of glycerol.
therefore

the answer is (4) glycerol

A certain material has a mass of 565 g while occupying 50 cm3 of space. What is this material?
EastWind [94]

<u>Answer:</u>

Lead

<u>Explanation:</u>

To get the density of the material, the formula would be:

mass divided by volume which is given by d = \frac { m } { v }.

Here in this problem, we are given a mass of 565 g which occupies a volume of 50 cm^3.

So plugging the data in the above formula to find the density:

Density = \frac { 565 } { 50 } = 11.3

From the table, we can see that the material is Lead which has a density of 11.3c/cm^3.
