An observer sitting on shore sees a canoe traveling 5.0 m/s east, and a sailboat traveling 15.0 m/s west. What is the velocity o

Answer:

Vs/c = 20 [m/s]

Explanation:

This is a problem of relative velocities, as velocity is a vector we can use addition or subtraction of vectors for the solution.

We are asked for the velocity of the sailboat with respect to an observer located in the canoe.

V_{s/c}=V_{sailboat}-V_{canoe}\\V_{s/c}=15-(-5)\\V_{s/c}=20[m/s]

Why is the speed of the canoe negative?, it is negative because the canoe moves in the opposite direction to the sailboat.

Rashid [163]

Answer:

Explanation:

Inital KE = (1/2) m v^2 = (1/2) * 1500 * 50^2 = 1,875,000 J  

Final KE = (1/2) * 1500 * 100^2 = 7,500,000 J  

But  ,

4 * 1875000 = 7500000

so the KE has increased by 4 times.

two 2.5 kg balls move away from each other one traveling 3 m/s to the right the other 4 m/s to the left what is the magnitude of
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

2.5 kg.m/s

Explanation:

Taking left side as positive while right side direction as negative then

Momentum, p= mv where m is the mass of the object and v is the velocity of travel

Momentum for ball moving towards right side=mv=2.5*-3=-7.5 kg.m/s

Momentum for the ball moving towards the left side=mv=2.5*4=10 kg.m/s

Total momentum=-7.5 kg.m/s+10 kg.m/s=2.5 kg.m/s

An atom in the ground state has a collision with an electron, then emits a photon with a wavelength of 1240 nm. What conclusion
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

attached below is the free body diagram of the missing  illustration

Initial kinetic energy of the electron = 3 eV

Explanation:

The conclusion that can be drawn about the kinetic energy of the electron is

E_{e} = E_{3}  - E_{1}

E_{e} = initial kinetic energy of the electron

E_{1} = -4 eV

E_{3} = -1 eV

insert the values into the equation above

E_{e} = -1 -(-4)  eV

   = -1 + 4 = 3 eV

A 5.00-m-long uniform ladder, weighing 200 N, rests against a smooth vertical wall with its base on a horizontal rough floor, a
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

0.488  m  

Explanation:

If θ be the angle ladder makes with the plane

cos θ = 1.2 / 5

Tan θ = 4.04

Let the height a person of weight 600 N  can climb be h from the ground .

Distance from the base point  where ladder touches the floor  = h / tanθ

= h / 4.04

Total reaction force = total downward force

R = 200 + 600

800 N

Frictional force = μ R

= .2 x 800

= 160 N

Taking moment of force about the point on the ladder  where it  touches the floor  and balancing them

200 x 1.2 x .5 + 600 x   h / tanθ  = μ R x  1.2 / tanθ ( reaction  at the top point of ladder where it touches the wall is  R₁ and

R₁ =μ R   )

= 200 x 1.2 x .5 + 600 x   h / tanθ  = 160 x 1.2 / tanθ

120  - 600 h / 4.04 = 47.52

120 - 47.52 = 600 h / 4.04

72.48= 148.51 h

h = 0.488  m
