Answer:

0.5 m/s

Explanation:

Using conservation of momentum, P1=P2, the system starts off with zero momentum as nothing is moving. But in the second part of the equation(P2) the child throws the package to the right. By Newton's third law, the child and the boat should move to the left. Plugging in what we know, 0= -90v + 6kg*8m/s. Solving for v you will get 0.5 meters per second. The mass is 90kg as that the is mass of the child and boat combined. I also made it negative as the boat and child move left (I designated this as the negative direction) and the package's momentum is positive as it is moving to the right.

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation can be subdivided into three regions: UVA, UVB, and UVC, based on their energy. What are the minimum
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

100nm-280nm

Explanation:

Ultraviolet rays (UV) are part of the electromagnetic spectrum. It goes from 10nm to 400nm wavelengths, they are shorter than visible light, thus it's impossible to see by a human eye, and larger than X-rays (used in many medical applications and harmful when long-exposed).

According to its wavelengths, UV can be divided in different types:

UVA: long wave UV (315nm-400nm)

UVB: medium-wave UV (280nm-315nm)

UVC: short wave UV (100nm-280nm)

Therefore, UVC comprises wavelengths between 10nm and 280nm.

Which expression is equivalent to g−m ÷ gn?
Vinvika [58]

<u>Answer</u>

(g²n - m)/(gm)


<u>Explanation</u>

g - m ÷ gn = g - m/gn  

Make the equation have the same denominator

  g - m ÷ gn = g - m/gn    = (ggn)/gn  - m/gn

                                          = (g²n)/gn - m/gm

Since they have the same denominator, we can carry out the subtraction on the numerator and then put them under one denominator.

                                      (g²n)/gn - m/gm  = (g²n - m)/(gm)
