A man holding a rock sits on a sled that is sliding across a frozen lake (negligible friction) with a speed of 0.550 m/s. The to
Arisa [49]

Answer: 0.5 m/s

Explanation:

Given

Speed of the sled, v = 0.55 m/s

Total mass, m = 96.5 kg

Mass of the rock, m1 = 0.3 kg

Speed of the rock, v1 = 17.5 m/s

To solve this, we would use the law of conservation of momentum

Momentum before throwing the rock: m*V = 96.5 kg * 0.550 m/s = 53.08 Ns

When the man throws the rock forward

rock:

m1 = 0.300 kg

V1 = 17.5 m/s, in the same direction of the sled with the man

m2 = 96.5 kg - 0.300 kg = 96.2 kg

v2 = ?

Law of conservation of momentum states that the momentum is equal before and after the throw.

momentum before throw = momentum after throw

53.08 = 0.300 * 17.5 + 96.2 * v2

53.08 = 5.25 + 96.2 * v2

v2 = [53.08 - 5.25 ] / 96.2

v2 = 47.83 / 96.2

v2 = 0.497 ~= 0.50 m/s

A box has a mass of 35kg.he pulls the rope horizontally with a force of 175 N. Find the horizontal acceleration of the box as it
Cloud [144]

Answer:

3.43 m/s^2

Explanation:

Force is equal to mass times acceleration. (F=ma). You can use inverse operations to get the formula for acceleration, which is acceleration is equal to force divided by mass. (a=F/m). Since there are two forces here, the force friction (55 N), and the force applied (175 N), we must solve for the net force. To solve for the net force, you take the applied force (175 N) and subtract the frictional force from it (55 N). Thus, the net force is 120 N. With this done, we can now solve for our acceleration.

Using the equation for acceleration, we take the force and divide it by mass.

120/35

Answer: 3.43* m/s^2**

*Note: This is rounded to the nearest hundredth, the full answer is: 3.42857143

**Note: In case you're confused, this is meters per second squared.

How does a magnet work?
Alona [7]
All magnets have north and south poles. Opposite poles are attracted to each other, while the same poles repel each other. When you rub a piece of iron along a magnet, the north-seeking poles of the atoms in the iron line up in the same direction. The force generated by the aligned atoms creates a magnetic field.

Tina is driving her sports car down US1, traveling 27m/s. She sees her friend Rita up ahead, waiting to cross the street at the
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

434 Hz

Explanation:

According to the Doppler effect, when a source of a wave is moving towards an observer at rest, then the observer will observe an apparent frequency which is higher than the original frequency of the source.

In this situation, Tina is driving towards Rita. Tina is the source of the sound wave (the horn), while RIta is the observer. Since the original frequency of the sound is 400 Hz, Rita will hear a sound with a frequency higher than this value.

The only choice which is higher than 400 Hz is 434 Hz, so this is the frequency that Rita will hear.

When adjusting the valve clearances on the engine, Technician A says the valves are closed when the valve lifter or follower is
andre [41]

Answer:

A. Technician A only

Explanation:

The camshaft opening ramp is what opens the valve, it starts at the basement of the inner circle and closes at the nose while the camshaft closing ramp allows for closing a valve starts at the nose and closes at the inner base circle. Valve clearance on an engine are performed when closing a valve, and is completed when the valve lifter or follower is on the inner base circle of the camshaft lobe.
