A child in a boat throws a 4.5kg package out horizontally with a speed of 13 m/s. Calculate the velocity of the boat immediately

after, assuming it was initially at rest. The mass of the child is 24 kg and the mass of the boat is 53 kg.

Answer:

0.78m/s

Explanation:

Now the momentum ensued by the boy throwing the package Is

Mass of package × velocity of package =4.5×13=58.5m/s

This momentum initiated a momentum on the boy-boat system

Total mass of the boy-boat system is 24+53=75kg

Let the velocity ensued by the boat be v.

Hence from conservation of momentum

58.5 =75×v

v= 58.5/75= 0.78m/s

A stationary speed gun emits a microwave beam at 2.10*10^10Hz. It reflects off a car and returns 1030 Hz higher. What is the spe
lana [24]

Answer: V = 15 m/s

Explanation:

As  stationary speed gun emits a microwave beam at 2.10*10^10Hz. It reflects off a car and returns 1030 Hz higher. The observed frequency the car will be experiencing will be addition of the two frequency. That is,

F = 2.1 × 10^10 + 1030 = 2.100000103×10^10Hz

Using doppler effect formula

F = C/ ( C - V) × f

Where

F = observed frequency

f = source frequency

C = speed of light = 3×10^8

V = speed of the car

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

2.100000103×10^10 = 3×10^8/(3×10^8 -V) × 2.1×10^10

2.100000103×10^10/2.1×10^10 = 3×108/(3×10^8 - V)

1.000000049 = 3×10^8/(3×10^8 - V)

Cross multiply

300000014.7 - 1.000000049V = 3×10^8

Collect the like terms

1.000000049V = 14.71429

Make V the subject of formula

V = 14.71429/1.000000049

V = 14.7 m/s

The speed of the car is 15 m/s approximately

If you travel 1.7 km north from your house at noon, and at 6:00 PM you travel 5.4 km south, what is your displacement? 3.7 km no
Yakvenalex [24]

<u>Answer</u>

3.7 Km south


<u>Explanation</u>

The definition of displacement is the distance traveled in a specific direction. It is the vector quantity. We add displacements like the way we add vectors.

Taking the direction towards North to be positive (+1.7 Km), the distance towards south would be negative (-5.4 Km).

Now lets add the two values.

(+1.7) + (-5.4) = 1.7 - 5.4

                    = - 3.7 Km      But negative was towards south.

∴ Answer = 3.7 Km south.
