Sloan [31]3 years ago

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Momentum is used to measure the quantity of motion in an object. Momentum is the product of mass and velocity.

Momentum = mass * velocity

The principle of conservation of momentum states that momentum cannot be created or destroyed but  can be transferred. Therefore the momentum before and after an action is equal.

Initial momentum = Final momentum

Let m be the mass of the diver, M be the mass of the raft, u be the initial velocity of the diver, U be the initial velocity of the raft, v be the final velocity of the diver and V be the final velocity of the raft.

m = 71 kg, M = 500 kg, v = 6 m/s

Initial both the raft and diver are at rest, hence u and U is zero, hence:

mu + MU = mv + MV

71(0) + 500(0) = 71(6) + 500(V)

0 = 426 + 500(V)

500(V) = -426

V = -426/500

V = -0.852 m/s

A stationary boat bobs up and down with a period of 2.4 s when it encounters the waves from a moving boat.
lapo4ka [179]
It seems like the question is asking for the frequency.
Given: 
Time period (T) = 2.4 sec

Frequency (f) =? 

We know that the formula for frequency is:

Frequency (f) = 1/time period (T) 

= 1 / 2.4 s 

= 0.42 Hz. is the frequency for this problem.

A student moves a box across the floor by exerting 56.7 N of force and doing 195 J of
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

A. 3.4 m

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Force = 56.7N

Workdone = 195J

To find the distance

Workdone is given by the formula;

Workdone = force * distance

Making "distance" the subject of formula, we have;

Distance = \frac {workdone}{force}

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Distance = \frac {195}{56.7}

Distance = 3.4 meters.

Compare the strengths of UV light and microwaves (in Hz). Which type of light is more powerful and how do you know?
TEA [102]

Answer:

UV light is more powerful as it has greater energy.

Explanation:

The energy propagated by electromagnetic waves ( light ) through vacuum or medium is known as electromagnetic radiation.

The frequency/wavelength range of electromagnetic radiation is known as electromagnetic spectrum. The electromagnetic spectrum ranging from gamma ray to radio waves.

Frequency range of UV light = ( 8 x 10¹⁴ to 3 x 10¹⁶ ) Hz

Frequency range of Microwaves = ( 300 x 10⁶ to 300 x 10⁹ ) Hz

Ratio of UV light to Microwaves = (\frac{8\times10^{14} }{300\times10^{6} } to \frac{3\times10^{16} }{300\times10^{9} } )

                                                     = ( 2.66 x 10⁶ to 1 x 10⁸ )

Energy of electromagnetic radiation is given by the relation:

E = hν

Here h is plank's constant and ν is frequency.

UV light is more powerful than Microwaves as frequency of UV light is greater than frequency of microwaves. Thus, by the above equation, the energy of UV light is more than energy of Microwaves.

What is the magnitude of a vector with components (15 m, 8 m)?
il63 [147K]
The answer is 17 m because you have to add the 15 m and the 8 m together to get the answer so it will be like this 17x17 = 15x15 + 8x8 got it?
