A surfer is moving at a constant velocity of 5.2 m/s north relative to a wave which is pushing him west at a constant velocity o

f 8.6 m/s toward the beach. The surfer begins at a distance of 41 meters away from the beach. How far north does the surfer make it (in meters) before becoming beached? Round answer to 1 decimal place.

The speed and distances are directly proportional. Use ratios to solve for vertical y-distance. The ratio of x-distance west to y-distance north equals the x-velocity to y-velocity.

x/y = vx/vy
41/y = 8.6/5.2
41/y = 1.65
41/1.65 = y
24.8 m = y

Which statement is true of the electric field at a distant from the source of charge?
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

A negative charge, if free to move in an electric field, will move from a low potential point to a high potential point. To move a positive charge against the electric field, work has to be done by you or a force external to the field.

Which of the following statements about the conservation of momentum is not correct? Momentum is conserved for a system of objec
Olin [163]

Answer:

wrong statement :  Momentum is not conserved for a system of objects in a head-on collision.

Explanation:

In a head on collision of two objects , two equal and opposite forces are created at the point of collision . These two forces create two impulses in opposite direction which results in equal and opposite changes in momentum in each of them . Hence net change in momentum is zero. In this way momentum is conserved in head on collision of two objects.

The graph above shows the position x as a function of time for the center of mass of a system of particles of total mass 6. 0 kg
kumpel [21]

The resulting change in momentum of the system will be +18.6 Ns. The momentum is conserved.

<h3>What is the law of conservation of momentum?</h3>

According to the law of conservation of momentum, the momentum of the body before the collision is always equal to the momentum of the body after the collision.

The given data in the problem is;

m is the mass =6.0 kg

t is the time interval=2 second

From Newton's second law;

\rm \triangle P =m \triangle V \\\\ \triangle P= m(\frac{\triangle x}{\triangle t} )\\\\

From the graph;

\rm \triangle t = 2sec\\\\ \triangle x = (12-8) m

The change in the momentum is;

\rm \triangle P = m\tr(\frac{v-u}{t}) \\\\ \triangle P =9.3 \times \frac{12-8}{2} \\\\ \triangle P= +18.6 \  N.s

Hence, the resulting change in momentum of the system will be +18.6 Ns.

Which type of comb would be best to use in the winter, a plastic comb or a glass comb? Explain using the Triboelectric series.
leonid [27]

Answer:

I'm not sure how to use it using the Series, but it would be the plastic comb

Explanation:

In the winter, it's likely to be cold and the glass would absorb that energy, also making it cold. in order to be able to hold it, you would need something warm, thus making the plastic one the better option as it is less likely to absorb the cold energy
