Explanation:
It is given that,
Mass of Millersburg Ferry, m = 13000 kg
Velocity, v = 11 m/s
Applied force, F = 10⁶ N
Time period, t = 20 seconds
(a) Impulse is given by the product of force and time taken i.e.
(b) Impulse is also given by the change in momentum i.e.
(c) For new velocity,
Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
0.75 m
Explanation:
Let's call the distance between the bulb and the mirror x.
The bulb and the length of the mirror form a triangle. The mirror and the illuminated area on the floor form a trapezoid. If we extend the lines from the mirror edge to the reflected image of the bulb, we turn that trapezoid into a large triangle. This triangle and the small triangle are similar. So we can say:
x / 0.4 = (3 + x) / 2
Solving for x:
2x = 0.4 (3 + x)
2x = 1.2 + 0.4 x
1.6 x = 1.2
x = 0.75
So the bulb should located no more than 0.75 m from the mirror.
