u = 0.077

Explanation:

Work done by friction is

Wf = ∆KE + ∆PE

-umgx = ∆KE,. ∆PE =0 (level ice surface)

-umgx = KEf - KEi = -(1/2)mv^2

Solving for u,

u = v^2/2gx

= (12 m/s)^2/2(9.8 m/s^2)(95 m)

= 0.077

What is the difference between diatomic and poly-atomic molecules? Site some examples.

Olegator [25]

Their difference lies in the prefix used before each root word, atom. The diatomic molecules are composed only of 2 atoms such as that of the diatomic elements: H2, O2, N2, Cl2, etc. On the other hand, polyatomic molecules are made up of three or mole atoms such as NH4+, H2SO4, etc.

Here it is an application of Newton's III law

as we know by Newton's III law that every action has equal and opposite reaction

So here as we know that two boys jumps off the boat with different forces

from front side of the boat the boy jumps off with force 45 N which means as per Newton's III law if boy has a force of 45 N in forward direction then he must apply a reaction force on the boat in reverse direction of same magnitude

So boat must have an opposite force on front end with magnitude 45 N

Now similar way we can say

from back side of the boat the boy jumps off with force 60 N which means as per Newton's III law if boy has a force of 60 N in backward direction then he must apply a reaction force on the boat in reverse direction of same magnitude

So boat must have an opposite force on front end with magnitude 60 N

So here net force due to both jump on the boat is given by

$F_{net} = F_1 - F_2$

$F_{net} = 60 - 45$

$F_{net} = 15 N$

so boat will have net force F = 15 N in forward direction due to both jumps
