A 62.0 kg water skier at rest jumps from the dock into a 775 kg boat at rest on the east side of the dock. If the velocity of th

e skier is 4.50 m/s as she leaves the dock, what is the final velocity of the skier and boat?

Answer:

v = 0.33 m/s

Explanation:

The final velocity of the skier and boat can be calculated by conservation of the lineal momentum:

m_{1}v_{1i} + m_{2}v_{2i} = m_{1}v_{1f} + m_{2}v_{2f}

<u>Where:</u>

m1: is the mass of the water skier = 62.0 kg

m2: is the mass of the boat = 775 kg

v1i: is the initial velocity of the water skier = 4.50 m/s    

v1f: is the final velocity of the water skier = ?

v2i: is the initial velocity of the boat = 0

v2f: is the final velocity of the boat = ?

Since the final velocity of the skier is the same that the final velocity of the boat, we have:      

m_{1}v_{1i} + m_{2}v_{2i} = m_{1}v_{f} + m_{2}v_{f}  

m_{1}v_{1i} + 0 = v_{f}(m_{1} + m_{2})  

v_{f} = \frac{62.0 kg*4.50 m/s}{(62.0 kg + 775 kg)}  

v_{f} = 0.33 m/s  

Therefore, the final velocity of the skier and boat is 0.33 m/s.

I hope it helps you!

Assume the ground is uniformly level. If the horizontal component a projectile's velocity is doubled, but the vertical component
Katarina [22]

Answer:

Explanation:

Time of flight = 2 x u sinα / g where u sinα is vertical component of projectile's velocity u .

So Time of flight = 2 x vertical component / g

vertical component = constant

g is also constant so

Time of flight will also be constant .

It will remain unchanged .

Enrico Fermi (1901–1954) was a famous physicist who liked to pose what are now known as Fermi problems, in which several assumpt
Katarina [22]

Answer:

Explanation:

(a)

Since the earth is assumed to be a sphere.

Volume of atmosphere = volume of (earth +atm osphere) — volume of earth

= \frac{4}{3}\pi(6400+ 50)^3 -  \frac{4}{3}\pi (6400)&#10;^3\\\\=  \frac{4}{3}\pi(6192125000) km’^3\\= 2.6\times 10^{19} m^3

Hence the volume of atmosphere is 2.6\times 10^{19} m^3

(b)

Write the ideal gas equation as foll ows:

PV = nRT\\\\n\frac{0.20atm\times 2.6\times10^{19} m^3}{0.08206L\, atm/mok\, K \times (15+273+15)K}\times \frac{1L}{10^{-3}m^3}\\\\= 2.20\times 10^{20} moles

no.\, of\, molecules = 2.20\times 10^{20} moles \times \frac{6.022\times10^{23}\,molecules}{1mole}= 13.3\times10^{43} molecules&#10;

Hence the required molecules is 13.3\times10^{43} molecules&#10;

(c)

Write the ideal gas equation as follows:

PV =nRT&#10;\\\\n=\frac{1.0 atm \times 0.5L&#10;}{0.08206 L\, atm/mol\,K \times (37 +273.1 5)K} = 0.0196 moles

no.\, of\, molecules = 0.0196 moles \times\frac{6.022\times10^{23} molecules}&#10;{Imole}= 1.2\times 10^{23} molecules

Hence the required molecules in Caesar breath is 1.2\times 10^{23} molecules

(d)

Volume fraction in Caesar last breath is as follows:  

Fraction,\, X =\frac{12\times 10 molecules}{13.3\times 10^{43} \,molecules}= 9.0\times 10\, molecule/air\, molecule}

(e)

Since the volume capacity of the human body is 500 mL.

Volume\, of\, Caesar\, nreath\, inhale\, is =\frac{ 12\times 10^{22}\, molecules}{breath}\times \frac{9.0\times10^{-23} molecule}{air\, molecule}\\\\= 1.08 molecule/breath

The potential energy of a 35 kg cannon ball is 14000 J. How high was the cannon ball to have this much potential energy?
Anettt [7]

From the information given, cannon ball weighs 40 kg and has a potential energy of 14000 J.

We need to find its height.

We will use the formula P.E = mgh

Therefore h = P.E / mg

where P.E is the potential energy,

m is mass in kg,  

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

h is the height of the object's displacement in meters.

h = P.E. / mg

h = 14000 / 40 × 9.8

h = 14000 / 392

h = 35.7

Therefore the canon ball was 35.7 meters  high.
