A 71-kg swimmer dives horizontally off a 500-kg raft. If the diver's speed immediately after leaving the raft is 6m/s, what is t

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 motorcycle traveling at a speed of 44.0 mi/h needs a minimum of 44.0 ft to stop. If the same motorcycle is traveling 79.0 mi/h
Tasya [4]

Answer:

141.78 ft

Explanation:

When speed, u = 44mi/h, minimum stopping distance, s = 44 ft = 0.00833 mi.

Calculating the acceleration using one of Newton's equations of motion:

v^2 = u^2 + 2as\\\\v = 0 mi/h\\\\u = 44 mi/h\\\\s = 0.00833 mi\\\\=> 0^2 = 44^2 + 2 * a * 0.00833\\\\=> 1936 = -0.01666a\\\\a = -116206.48 mi/h^2 or -14.43 m/s^2

Note: The negative sign denotes deceleration.

When speed, v = 79mi/h, the acceleration is equal to when it is 44mi/h i.e. -116206.48 mi/h^2

Hence, we can find the minimum stopping distance using:

v^2 = u^2 + 2as\\\\v = 0 mi/h\\\\u = 79 mi/h\\\\a = -116206.48 mi/h\\\\=> 0^2 = 79^2 + (2 * -116206.48 * s)\\\\6241 = 232412.96s\\\\s = \frac{6241}{232412.96} \\\\s = 0.0268531 mi = 141.78 ft

The minimum stopping distance is 141.78 ft.

A train moves with a constant velocity for 15s for 155m. How fast is the train moving?
bonufazy [111]

Answer: 10.3m/s

Explanation:

In theory and for a constant velocity the physics expression states that:

Eq(1):  distance  = velocity times time <=> d = v*t    for v=constant.

If we solve Eq (1) for the velocity (v) we obtain:

Eq(2):  velocity  = distance divided by time <=> v = d/t

Substituting the known values for t=15s and d=155m we get:

v = 155 / 15 <=> v = 10.3

In what ways is n2 gas removed from the atmosphere?
MaRussiya [10]
One way of removing nitrogen gas from the atmosphere is by natural nitrogen fixation. This is done by nitrogen-fixing bacteria in the oceans and in the soil. Nitrogen fixation is a process that converts the nitrogen in air to ammonia.
