Answer: 0.28 m/s


Let

M1 = mass of Steve
V1 = velocity of Steve
M2 = mass of can
V2 = velocity of can

Because momentum is a conserved quantity:

P1 - P2 = 0

So

M1*V1 - M2*V2 = 0

78.0kg(V1) - 2.5kg(8.7m/s) = 0

78.0(V1) = 21.75

V1= 0.28 m/s

How much heat is needed to raise the temperature of 8g of water by 20oC?
Elden [556K]
The following information are given in the question:
Mass, M = 8 g
Temperature, T = 20 degree Celsius
Specific heat of water [this value is a constant] C  = 1 c/gc
Heat, Q = ?
The formula for calculating the amount of heat required is given below:
Q = MCT = 8 * 1 * 20 = 160
Therefore, Q = 160 cal.

A wire along the z axis carries a current of 6.8 A in the z direction Find the magnitude and direction of the force exerted on a
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

Force is 14.93N along positive y axis.

Explanation:

We know that force 'F' on a current carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field of intensity B is given by

\overrightarrow{F}=\overrightarrow{Il}\times \overrightarrow{B}

where L is the length of the conductor

Applying values in the equation we have force F =

\overrightarrow{F}=6.8\times 6.1\widehat{k}\times 0.36\widehat{i}\\\\\overrightarrow{F}=41.48\widehat{k}\times 0.36\widehat{i}\\\\\therefore \overrightarrow{F}=14.93N\widehat{j}

Thus force is 14.93N along positive y axis.
