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

Is the momentum of a 0.1 kg Mass moving with a velocity of 5 miles per second West
dem82 [27]
<span>Momentum equals Mass x Velocity
Mass equals 0.1kg
Velocity equals 5m/s

So the momentum has to = 0.1 x 5 = 0.5kgm/s

I hope this helped

An extreme skier, starting from rest, coasts down a mountain slope that makes an angle of 25.0 with the horizontal. The coeffici
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

V = 10.88 m/s

Explanation:

V_i =initial velocity = 0m/s

a= acceleration= gsinθ-\mu_kcosθ

putting values we get

a= 9.8sin25-0.2cos25= 2.4 m/s^2

v_f= final velocity and d= displacement along the inclined plane = 10.4 m

using the equation

v^2_f=v^2_i-2as

v^2_f=0^2-2(2.4)(10.4)

v_f= 7.04 m/s

let the speed just before she lands be "V"

using conservation of energy

KE + PE at the edge of cliff = KE at bottom of cliff

(0.5) m V_f^2 + mgh = (0.5) m V^2

V^2 = V_f^2 + 2gh

V^2 = 7.04^2 + 2 x 9.8 x 3.5

V = 10.88 m/s

Point P and point charge Q are separated by a distance R. The electric field at point P has magnitude E. How could the magnitude
Angelina_Jolie [31]
<span>We know , E = kQ/r^2 where q = charge and r is separation between point and point charge. Now, At P, E= kQ/r^2 Since, Q can't be changed, we can do that by varying r 2E = 2kq/r^2 2E = kq/ (r/ sqrt2)^2 Hence, if we bring Q closer such that distance between P and Q becomes r/ sqrt 2, E will get doubled.</span>
