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.

A spherical balloon has a radius of 7.40 m and is filled with helium. Part A How large a cargo can it lift, assuming that the sk
malfutka [58]

Answer:

The mass of the cargo is M  =  188.43 \ kg

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The radius of the spherical balloon is  r =  7.40 \ m

     The mass of the balloon is  m = 990\ kg  

The volume of the spherical balloon is mathematically represented as

     V  =  \frac{4}{3} * \pi r^3

substituting values

      V  =  \frac{4}{3} * 3.142 *(7.40)^3

      V  =  1697.6 \ m^3

The total mass  the balloon can lift is mathematically represented as

     m =  V (\rho_h - \rho_a)

where \rho_h is the density of helium with a  value of

       \rho_h  =  0.179 \ kg /m^3

and  \rho_a is the density of air with a value of

        \rho_ a  = 1.29 \ kg / m^3

substituting values

          m =  1697.6 ( 1.29  - 0.179)

         m =  1886.0  \ kg

Now the mass of the cargo is mathematically evaluated as

        M  =  1886.0 - 1697.6

        M  =  188.43 \ kg

A long copper wire of radius 0.321 mm has a linear charge density of 0.100 μC/m. Find the electric field at a point 5.00 cm from
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

E=35921.96N/C

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Radius r=0.321mm

Charge Density \mu=0.100

Distance d= 5.00 cm

Generally the equation for electric field is mathematically given by

E=\frac{mu}{2\pi E_0r}

E=\frac{0.100*10^{-6}}{2*3.142*8.86*10^{-12}*5*10^{-2}}

E=35921.96N/C
