A 15kg dog jumps out of a 40kg canoe. If the dogs velocity is 1.2m/s, what is the velocity of the canoe?

Physics
1 answer:
vivado [14]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

v = -0.45 m/s

Explanation:

Assuming the canoe was initially at rest with momentum L = 0

and that the dog's velocity is in the positive direction

conservation of momentum

0 = 15(1.2) + 40v

v = -0.45 m/s

A spearfisher stands in shallow water and sees a fish a few feet in front of her. She throws her spear directly toward the posit
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

the spear will end up above the fish relative to the actual position of the fish.

Explanation:

due to refraction of light coming from the fish the fish will appear slightly above from its real position

So due to this refraction the spearfisher will throw the spear directly at the image of the fish due to which it will not reach the position of fish but it will reach the position above the fish.

So here we can say that the spear will end up above the fish relative to the actual position of the fish

Which object will have the most potential energy?
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:  the most potential energy ==  5 kg book, 2 m from the ground= 98 Joules

Explanation:

potential energy = m g h

m = mass

g = acceleration due gravity  = 9.8 m/s²

h = distance above  ground

1.  Pe₁ = 1 kg x 2 m x g  = 2 g

2. Pe₂ = 5 kg x 2 m x g = 10 g = 10 kg m x 9,8 m/s² = 98 Joules

3. Pe₃ = 1 kg x 0,5 m x g = 0,5 g

4. Pe₄ = 5 kg x 0.5 m x g = 2,5 g  

10 > 2,5 > 2 >0,5
