A toboggan having a mass of 10 kg starts from rest at A and carries a girl and boy having a mass of 40 kg and 45 kg, respectivel

y. When the toboggan reaches the bottom of the slope at B, the boy is pushed off from the back with a horizontal velocity of vb>t = 2 m>s, measured relative to the toboggan. Determine the velocity of the toboggan afterwards. Neglect friction in the calculation.

Answer:

The velocity of the toboggan is 7.51 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of toboggan = 10 kg

Mass of girl =40 kg

Mass of boy = 45 kg

Velocity = 2 m/s

Suppose that h = 3.2 m

We need to calculate the velocity

Using conservation of energy

K.E_{1}+P.E_{1}=K.E_{2}+P.E_{2}

\dfrac{1}{2}(m_{t}+m_{g}+m_{b})v^2+(m_{t}+m_{g}+m_{b})gh=\dfrac{1}{2}(m_{t}+m_{g}+m_{b})v^2+0

Put the value into the formula

0+(10+40+45)\times9.8\times3.2=\dfrac{1}{2}(10+45+40)v^2

v^2=\dfrac{95\times9.8\times3.2\times2}{95}

v=\sqrt{62.72}\ m/s

v=7.91\ m/s

The velocity of boy is

v_{b/t}=v_{t}-v_{b}

v_{b}=v_{t}-2

We need to calculate the velocity of the toboggan

Using principle of momentum

(m_{t}+m_{g}+m_{b})v=(m_{t}+m_{g})v_{t}+m_{b}v_{b}

Put the value into the formula

(10+40+45)\times7.91=(10+45)\times v_{t}+45\times(v_{t}-2)

751.45=55v_{t}+45v_{t}-90

751.45+90=130v_{t}

v_{t}=\dfrac{751.45}{100}

v_{t}=7.51\ m/s

Hence, The velocity of the toboggan is 7.51 m/s.

What is a synovial joint? (ANATOMY)
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

From Wikipedia:

"A synovial joint, also known as diarthrosis, joins bones or cartilage with a fibrous joint capsule that is continuous with the periosteum of the joined bones, constitutes the outer boundary of a synovial cavity, and surrounds the bones' articulating surfaces. The synovial cavity/joint is filled with synovial fluid."

What is the speed of terminal velocity?
ivann1987 [24]
The so-called "terminal velocity" is the fastest that something can fall
through a fluid.  Even though there's a constant force pulling it through,
the friction or resistance of plowing through the surrounding substance
gets bigger as the speed grows, so there's some speed where the resistance
is equal to the pulling force, and then the falling object can't go any faster.

A few examples:
-- the terminal velocity of a sky-diver falling through air,
-- the terminal velocity of a pecan falling through honey,
-- the terminal velocity of a stone falling through water.

It's not possible to say that "the terminal velocity is ----- miles per hour".
If any of these things changes, then the terminal velocity changes too:

-- weight of the falling object
-- shape of the object
-- surface texture (smoothness) of the object
-- density of the surrounding fluid
-- viscosity of the surrounding fluid .

Energy transformations when you cook sausages on a campfire burning wood
Rina8888 [55]

<span>Actually in this case heat energy is being transferred. Heat energy or thermal energy is transferred from the burning of wood to the sausages for it to be cooked. The sausage is being heated by the fire and is absorbing the heat or thermal energy.</span>

The volumes of the block is 10,500 mL and density is 8.52 g/mL. Find the block's mass Don't forget units and a space
Schach [20]

Answer:

<h2>89,460 g</h2>

Explanation:

The mass of a substance when given the density and volume can be found by using the formula

mass = Density × volume

From the question we have

mass = 8.52 × 10,500

We have the final answer as

<h3>89,460 g</h3>

Hope this helps you
