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.

A rock is dropped from a sea cliff and hits the water 3.2s later. How high is the cliff? How long would it take sound to travel

Kruka [31]

A rock is dropped from a sea cliff and hits the water 3.2s later. How high is the cliff?

t = sqrt(2y/g)
3.2 = sqrt(2y/9.81)
y = 50.23 m

How long would it take sound to travel the same distance?
t = 50.23 / 343 m/s
t = 0.15 s

How long would it take light to travel this distance?
t = 50.23 / 299 792 458 m / s
t = 1.68x10^-7 s

Big Bob is on his Harley and moving at 14.0m/s. He then accelerates to a velocity of 25m/s over a distance of 0.250 km. What is

Xelga [282]

As we know that it has all given data given as

$v_i = 14 m/s$

$v_f = 25 m/s$

distance moved = 0.250 km = 250 m

now we can use kinematics to find acceleration

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d$

$25^2 - 14^2 = 2 * a * 250$

$a = 0.86 m/s^2$

so it will accelerate at rate of 0.86 m/s^2

Calculate the power transfer when a pump moves 50kg of water through a vertical height of 8meters in 5seconds (take g =10meters

Vika [28.1K]

Hi there!

Recall the following relationships:

$W = \Delta U = mg\Delta h\\\\P = \frac{W}{t}$

W = Work (J)

U = Potential Energy (J)

m = mass (kg)

g = acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s²)

h = height (m)

t = time (s)

Begin by calculating the work:

$W = 50(10)(8) = 4000 J$

Now, divide by the time to solve for power:

$P = \frac{4000}{5} = \boxed{800W}$

**W is the unit for power (Watts). Be careful not to get the two confused.
