A person is standing on and facing the front of a stationary skateboard while holding a construction brick. The mass of the pers

on is 68.0 kg, the mass of the skateboard is 4.10 kg, and the mass of the brick is 2.50 kg. If the person throws the brick forward (in the direction they are facing) with a speed of 21.0 m/s relative to the skateboard and we ignore friction, determine the recoil speed of the person and the skateboard, relative to the ground.

Answer:

0.74 m/s

Explanation:

From the question,

We apply the law of conservation of momentum,

Total momentum before collision = Total momentum after collision.

Since the skateboard, the person and the brick where stationary, therefore, the total momentum before collision is 0

0 = Total momentum after collision

(m+M)V + m'v = 0

Where m = mass of the  skateboard, M = mass of the person, m' = mass of the brick, V = recoil velocity of the person and the skateboard, v =  velocity of the brick

make V the subject of the equation above

V = -m'v/(m+M)................... Equation 1

Given: m = 4.10 kg, M = 68.0 kg, m' = 2.50 kg, v = 21.0 m/s.

Substitute these values into equation 1

V = -(2.5×21)/(68+2.5)

V = 52.50/70.5

V = 0.74 m/s

In a real system of levers, wheels, or pulleys, the AMA is less than the IMA because _____.
grandymaker [24]
In a real system of levers, wheel or pulleys, the AMA (actual mechanical advantage) is less than the IMA (ideal mechanical advantage) because of the presence of friction.

In fact, the IMA and the AMA of a machine are defined as the ratio between the output force (the load) and the input force (the effort):
IMA= \frac{F_{out}}{F_{in}}
however, the difference is that the IMA does not take into account the presence of frictions, while the AMA does. As a result, the output force in the AMA is less than the output force in the IMA (because some energy is dissipated due to friction), and the AMA is less than the IMA.

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer: The hierarchical formation model suggests that galaxies may have been formed  by subsequent mergers of smaller galaxies and that today each galaxy houses at least  a supermassive black hole.

Explanation: During a fusion of galaxies, the stars that composes it suffer the tidal force, intensifying your action as the galaxies approaching. When two galaxies merges themselves, the astronomers believes that they loss a huge part of their mass, forming the supremassive black hole, that stays in the middle of the galaxie.

The supermassive black holes are originated from the evolution of high mass stars. They were formed by huge clouds of gas or clusters of millions of stars that collapsed on their own gravity when the universe was still much younger and denser.
