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

Concept map for kinetic energy, work and power
Helen [10]

Kinetic energy: the energy of motion

Work: the change in kinetic energy

Power: the rate of work done

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of an object is the energy possessed by the object due to its motion. Mathematically, it is given by:

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its speed

The work done an object is the amount of energy transferred; according to the energy-work theorem, it is equal to the change in kinetic energy of an object:

W=K_f - K_i

where

K_f is the  final kinetic energy

K_i is the initial kinetic energy

Finally, the power is the rate of work done per unit time. Mathematically, ti can be expressed as

P=\frac{W}{t}

where

W is the work done

t is the time elapsed

A record player turntable initially rotating at 3313 rev/min is braked to a stop at a constant rotational acceleration. The turn
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

(A) It will take 22 sec to come in rest

(b) Work done for coming in rest will be 0.2131 J              

Explanation:

We have given the player turntable initially rotating at speed of 33\frac{1}{3}rpm=33.333rpm=\frac{2\times 3.14\times 33.333}{60}=3.49rad/sec

Now speed is reduced by 75 %

So final speed \frac{3.49\times 75}{100}=2.6175rad/sec

Time t = 5.5 sec

From first equation of motion we know that '

\alpha =\frac{\omega -\omega _0}{t}=\frac{2.6175-3.49}{4}=-0.158rad/sec^2

(a) Now final velocity \omega =0rad/sec

So time t to come in rest  t=\frac{0-3.49}{-0.158}=22sec

(b) The work done in coming rest is given by

\frac{1}{2}I\left ( \omega ^2-\omega _0^2 \right )=\frac{1}{2}\times 0.035\times (0^2-3.49^2)=0.2131J

What is the mathematical relationship between wavelength and energy transmission?.
Tomtit [17]

Answer: Wavelength is related to light and also related to energy. The shorter the wavelengths and the higher the frequency corresponds with greater energy. So the longer the wavelengths and lower the frequency results in lower energy. The energy equation is E = hν.
