A boy on a 1.9 kg skateboard initially at rest tosses a(n) 7.8 kg jug of water in the forward direction. if the jug has a speed

of 3.2 m/s relative to the ground and the boy and skateboard move in the opposite direction at 0.65 m/s, find the boy's mass. answer in units of kg.

For this case we first think that the skateboard and the child are one body.
 We have then:
 1 = jug
 2 = skateboard + boy
 By conservation of the linear amount of movement:
 M1V1i + M2V2i = M1V1f + M2V2f
 Initial rest:
 v1i = v2i = 0
 0 = M1V1f + M2V2f
 Substituting values
 0 = (7.8) (3.2) + (M2) (- 0.65)
 0 = 24.96 + M2 (-0.65)
 -24.96 = (-0.65) M2
 M2 = (-24.96) / (- 0.65) = 38.4 kg
 Then, the child's mass is:
 M2 = Mskateboard + Mb
 Clearing:
 Mb = M2-Mskateboard
 Mb = 38.4 - 1.9
 Mb = 36.5 Kg
 answer:
 the boy's mass is 36.5 Kg

Tremendous energy is released by nuclear reactions is a measure of the energy required to bond the nucleus together. Where does
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

Fission is the opposite of fusion and releases energy only when heavy nuclei are split. As noted in Fusion, energy is released if the products of a nuclear reaction have a greater binding energy per nucleon than the parent nuclei.

The amount of energy released during nuclear fission is millions of times more efficient per mass than that of coal considering only 0.1 percent of the original nuclei is converted to energy. Daughter nucleus, energy, and particles such as neutrons are released as a result of the reaction

An unstrained horizontal spring has a length of 0.31 m and a spring constant of 220 N/m. Two small charged objects are attached
Kruka [31]
The solution you should use is Hooke's law: F=-kx

It should have the same signs because they repel due to the stretch of the spring. 

a. Since there is a constant energy within the spring, then Hooke's law will determine the possible algebraic signs. The solution should be 
<span>F = kx 
270 N/m x 0.38 m = 102.6 N 
</span>
b. Then use Coulomb's law; F=kq1q2/r^2 to find the charges produced in the force.

The best way to study young stars hidden behind interstellar dust clouds would be to use
Ainat [17]

Answer: Infrared light

Explanation:

Infrared light is an electromagnetic radiation which has longer wavelength than visible light.

cool and faint objects are difficult to be detected using visible light.

Infrared light can pass through dust and clouds of gases. Thus, it is the best way to study the young stars hidden behind interstellar dust clouds.

What is the modern<br> Jatomic theory?
torisob [31]

<u>Answer:</u>

The modern atomic theory has given by "John Dalton and framed postulates".

<u>Explanation:</u>

The fundamental role of atoms in chemistry is established by the modern theory of atoms mentioned in 1808 for the first time by an English scientist named John Dalton. This consists of three sections such as all matter is composed of atoms, atoms of the same element are the same while atoms of different elements are different, atoms combine to form compounds in full-number ratios.

The unique characteristic of the "number of protons" is that all atoms of the same compound share. While the atoms of the same element i.e having a similar number of protons can have different numbers of neutrons and such elements are called isotopes.
