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

Why is the nucleus of an atom dense​
Inessa [10]

Explanation:

The nucleus of an atom is dense because it contains more of particles in a very little space.

The nucleus is the center of an atom made up of the protons and neutrons.

Atomic nucleus is very small compared to the size of the atom.

 Density is function of mass and volume.

Mass is the amount of matter in a substance.

Volume is the space occupied by a substance.

    The more the mass the more the density.

Since protons and neutron are massive bodies occupying a small space, they make the nucleus very dense.

A 2200-kg railway freight car coasts at 4.1 m/s underneath a grain terminal, which dumps grain directly down into the freight ca
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

The answer is "2.41 \times 10^3"

Explanation:

Given:  

m_i = 2000 \ kg \\\\v_i= 4.1 \ \frac{m}{s} \\\\v_f = 3.4 \ \frac{m}{s} \\

Using formula:  

\to m_iv_i = m_fv_f \\\\\to m_f= \frac{m_iv_i}{v_f}

p_i, p_f = system initial and final linear momentum.

V_i, v_f = system original and final linear pace.

m_i = original weight of the car freight.

m_f= car's maximum weight

= \frac{ 2000 \times 4.1}{3.4}\\\\= \frac{ 8.2\times 10^3}{3.4}\\\\= 2.41 \times 10^3

\boxed{m_f = 2.41 \times 10^3}
