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

The electric field must be zero inside a conductor in electrostatic equilibrium, but not inside an insulator. It turns out that
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

The permittivity of rubber is  \epsilon  = 8.703 *10^{-11}

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The  magnitude of the point charge is  q_1 =  70 \ nC  =  70 *10^{-9} \  C

      The diameter of the rubber shell is  d = 32 \ cm  =  0.32 \ m

       The Electric field inside the rubber shell is  E =  2500 \ N/ C

The radius of the rubber is  mathematically evaluated as

              r =  \frac{d}{2} =  \frac{0.32}{2}  =  0.16 \ m

Generally the electric field for a point  is in an insulator(rubber) is mathematically represented as

         E =  \frac{Q}{ \epsilon }  *  \frac{1}{4 *  \pi r^2}

Where \epsilon is the permittivity of rubber

    =>     E  *  \epsilon  *  4 * \pi *  r^2 =  Q

   =>      \epsilon  =  \frac{Q}{E *  4 *  \pi *  r^2}

substituting values

            \epsilon  =  \frac{70 *10^{-9}}{2500 *  4 *  3.142 *  (0.16)^2}

            \epsilon  = 8.703 *10^{-11}

Which of the following statements about energy is true? I. Kinetic energy cannot be transformed into another type of energy. II.
Mashcka [7]

Answer: B. II and III only

Explanation:

Let’s begin by explianing what energy is: the ability of matter to produce work in the form of movement, light, heat, among others. In this sense, there are several types of energy, but we will talk especifically in this case about <u>kinetic energy</u> and <u>potential energy</u>.

<u>Kinetic energy </u>is the energy an object or body has due to its movement and depends on the mass and velocity of the object or body.

To understande it better: If an object is at rest, its velocity is null and it does not have kinetic energy, however, if the object is moving, then it has kinetic energy.

On the other hand, <u>Potential energy</u> is known as <em>“stored energy”</em> that has the potential to be converted into energy of motion (kinetic energy) or another type of energy (thermal energy, for example). In addition, this energy is related to the work done when a certain force moves an object or body from its natural resting state along a distance to a new position.

So, according to this, Kinetic energy can be transformed into potential energy and Potential energy can be transformed into kinetic energy or any other type of energy. Hence, options II and III are correct.

One gallon of paint (volume = 3.79 X 10-???? m3) covers an area of 25.0 m2. What i the thickne s of the fresh paint on the wall?
Drupady [299]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Volume of paint is V=3.79\times 10^{-3}\ m^3

Area of cover A=25\ m^2

Suppose paint to be a rectangular box with thickness t and volume V

therefore we can write as

V=A\times t

t=\frac{V}{A}

t=\frac{3.79\times 10^{-3}}{25}

t=1.516\times 10^{-3}\ m

t=1.516\ mm
