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 Pluto now called a dwarf planet
zvonat [6]
Before Pluto was discovered, it was predicted. Astronomers had observed that massive objects can affect the orbits of its neighbors, and, after seeing deviations in the orbits of Uranus and Neptune, assumed something substantial existed beyond their orbits.
When Pluto was spotted, it was thought to be the predicted object and was identified as a ninth planet.
A few decades later, astronomers started discovering more and more objects around other stars and didn’t know whether to call them planets or not. There appeared to be a need to define what a planet means, and that led to what some people consider Pluto’s demotion to a dwarf planet.
The International Astronomical Union decided that full-sized planets must orbit the sun, have a round shape, and have cleared their orbits of other objects. Pluto fulfills the first two criteria, but not the third.
It still goes around the sun, it’s round enough, it’s got moons, and behaves like a planet, but the idea is that Pluto did not form the same way as the rest of the planets. Pluto’s orbit is both eccentric and inclined more than the rest of the planets by about 17 degrees. That’s suggests something is different about this object.
This debate about whether to call it a planet or not is silly, because it doesn’t matter to Pluto what you call it. It is an interesting object, goes around the sun, and shows geology and an atmosphere.
There’s a tendency to define objects based on what they are now, but nothing is constant in the universe. There are some issues with the nomenclature, and a definition today may not apply to the same object tomorrow.

Which wave property changes when two waves interfere in the same medium?
LuckyWell [14K]
<span>When two waves of same frequency travel in a medium simultaneously in the same direction then, due to their superposition, the resultant intensity at any point of the medium is different from the sum of intensities of the two waves. At certain points the intensity of the resultant wave has a large value while at some points it has a very small or zero. This is called wave interference.</span>

A 60-W light bulb radiates electromagnetic waves uniformly in all directions. At a distance of 1.0 mm from the bulb, the light i
slega [8]

Answer:

The appropriate solution is:

(a) \frac{1}{4}(I_o)

(b) \frac{1}{4} (u_o)

(c) \frac{1}{2}B_o

Explanation:

According to the question, the value is:

Power of bulb,

= 60 W

Distance,

= 1.0 mm

Now,

(a)

⇒  \frac{I}{I_o} =\frac{r_o_2}{r_2}

On applying cross-multiplication, we get

⇒  I=I_o\times \frac{1_2}{2^2}

⇒     =I_o\times \frac{1}{4}

⇒     =\frac{1}{4} (I_o)

(b)

As we know,

⇒ \frac{u}{u_o} =\frac{I}{I_o}

By putting the values, we get

⇒ u=\frac{1}{4}(u_o)

(c)

⇒ \frac{B^2}{B_o^2} =\frac{u}{u_o}

         =\frac{I}{I_o}

⇒ B=B_o\times \sqrt{\frac{1}{4} }

⇒     =\frac{1}{2}(B_o)

Why you cannot use an elastic measuring tape to measure distance. What problem you may face if you use it
Stells [14]

The problem you would encounter is measuring the height of two different people, a tall one and a short one, and getting the same answer for both of them.

No matter WHAT we're hearing out of the White House these days, you CAN'T bend and stretch your standard measuring devices, or any other 'facts', to make them fit the thing that you're measuring.  This does not work.  You're always entitled to your own opinions, but you're not entitled to your own facts.
