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.

The dot or scalar product of two (3d) vec- tors ⃗a = ⟨a1,a2,a3⟩ and ⃗b = ⟨b1,b2,b3⟩ is defined as

Yes, yes, we know all of that.  It certainly took you long enough to
get around to asking your question.

If
     a = (14, 10.5, 0)
and
     b = (4.62, 9.45, 0) ,

then, to begin with, neither vector has a z-component, and they
 both lie in the x-y plane.

Their dot-product  a · b = (14 x 4.62) + (10.5 x 9.45) =

                                             (64.68)   +   (99.225)  =  163.905 (scalar)          


I feel I earned your generous 5 points just reading your treatise and
finding your question (in the last line).  I shall cherish every one of them.

A echo occurs when sound does what?
klio [65]
Echoes occur when a reflected soundwave reaches the ear more than 0.1 seconds after the original sound wave was heard. ... There will be an echoinstead of a reverberation. Reflection of sound waves off of surfaces is also affected by the shape of the surface.

agasfer [191]

Answer: 168.75 N

Explanation:

first, let's convert microcoulombs to coulombs

q1 = 1e-4 C

q2 = 3e-5 C

r = 0.4 m

then use the equation Fe = \frac{kq_{1} q_{2}}{r^{2} }

plug in values --> F = (9e9*1e-4*3e-5)/(0.4)^2

F = 168.75 N
