Answer:

the velocity of the boats after the collision is 4.36 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of fish, m₁ = 800 kg

mass of boat, m₂ = 1400 kg

initial velocity of the fish, u₁ = 12 m/s

initial velocity of the boat, u₂ = 0

let the final velocity of the fish-boat after collision = v

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum for inelastic collision;

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = v(m₁ + m₂)

800 x 12    +   1400 x 0 = v(800 + 1400)

9600 = 2200v

v = 9600/2200

v = 4.36 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the boats after the collision is 4.36 m/s.

PLEASE HELP
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

h = 1.8 m

Explanation:

The initial velocity of the glove, u =- 6 m/s

We need to find the maximum height of the glove. Let it is equal to h. Using equation of kinematics. At the maximum height v = 0

v^2-u^2=2ah, h is the maximum height and a = -g

0^2-(6)^2=2\times (-10)\times h\\\\h=\dfrac{36}{20}\\\\h=1.8\ m

Hence, it will go up to a height of 1.8 m.

Charra [1.4K]
If the object is kept in between the principle axis and the focus but some what nearer to the focus then we will get the enlarge,erect,and real image.

Calculate the maximum absolute uncertainty for R if:
Radda [10]

Answer:

ΔR = 9 s

Explanation:

To calculate the propagation of the uncertainty or absolute error, the variation with each parameter must be calculated and the but of the cases must be found, which is done by taking the absolute value

           

The given expression is      R = 2A / B

the uncertainty is                 ΔR = | \frac{dR}{dA} | ΔA + | \frac{ dR}{dB} | ΔB

we look for the derivatives

     \frac{dR}{dA} = 9 / B

     \frac{dR}{dB} = 9A ( - \frac{1}{B^2 } )

we substitute

     ΔR = \frac{9}{B}  ΔA + \frac{9A}{B^2}  ΔB

the values ​​are

     ΔA = 2 s

     ΔB = 3 s

 

     ΔR = \frac{9}{11}   2 + \frac{9 \ 32}{11^2 }  3

     ΔR = 1.636 + 7.14

     ΔR = 8,776 s

the absolute error must be given with a significant figure

     ΔR = 9 s
