A 64 kg swimmer jumps, with a velocity of 4.2 m/s, off the front of a 25 kg kayak when the kayak is moving forward at a velocity

Answer:

3.88m/s

Explanation:

Using the law of conservation of momentum

m1u1+m2u2 = (m1+m2)v

m1 and m2 are the masses

u1 and 2 are the initial velocities

v is the final velocity

Given

m1 = 64kg

u1 = 4.2m/s

m2 = 25kg

u2 = 3.2m/s

Required

Final velocity v

Substitute the given values into the formula

64(4.2)+25(3.2) = (65+25)v

268.8+80 = 90v

348.8 = 90v

v = 348.8/90

v = 3.88m/s

Hence the velocity of the kayak after the swimmer jumps off is 3.88m/s

The volume of a gas is reduced when the temperature is decreased
Sloan [31]
Decreasing Pressure. The combined gas law states that the pressure of a gas is inversely related to the volume and directly related to the temperature. If temperature is held constant, the equation is reduced to Boyle's law. Therefore, if you decrease the pressure of a fixed amount of gas, its volume will increase.

A football player throws and accelerates a ball (m = 0.150 kg) from rest to a velocity of 50 m/s in 0.0121 sec. Determine the ac
Rasek [7]

Answer:

Acceleration=4m/s²

Force applied =619.8N

Explanation:

Using equation of motion

V=u+at we have: u=o, v=50m/s

50= 0 + a×0.0121

a = 50/0.0121

a= 4m/s²

Neglecting resistance forces

F= ma, where a = v-u/t

F=m×(v-u)/t

F= 0.150 ×(50-0)/0.0121

F=7.5/0.0121

F= 619.8N

NikAS [45]

Answer:

A)  350 N

B)  58.33 N

C)  35 kg

D)  35 kg

Explanation:

If we use that g = 10 m/s^2, then the acceleration of gravity on the Moon will be 10/6 m/s^2 = 5/3 m/s*2

The weight of the object on Earth is given by:

Weight = mass * g = 35 * 10 = 350 N

The weight of the object on the Moon:

Weight = mass * gmoon = 35 * 5/3 = 58.33 N

The mass of the object on Earth is 35 kg

The mass of the object on the Moon is exactly the same as on the Earth (35 kg) since the mass is a quantity inherent to the object and not to its location.

A rock falls off a cliff. How fast will it be going after falling for 4.33 seconds?
bixtya [17]

Answer:42.43m/s

Explanation:According to vf=vi+at, we  can calculate it since v0 equals to 0. vf=0+9.8m/s^2*4.33s= 42.434m/s

to measure the static friction coefficient between a block and a vertical wall, a spring is attached to the block, is pushed on
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

μ = mg/kx

Explanation:

Since the bock does not slip, the frictional force equals the weight of the block. So, F = mg. Now, the frictional force, F = μN where μ = coefficient of static friction and N = Normal force.

Now, the normal force equals the spring force F' = kx where k = spring constant and x = compression of spring.

N = F' = kx

So, F = μN = μkx

μkx = mg

So, μ = mg/kx
