A canoe is designed to have very little drag when it moves along its length. Riley, mass 62 kg, sits in a 21 kg canoe in the mid

dle of a lake. She dives into the water off the front of the canoe, along the axis of the canoe. She dives forward at 1.7 m/s relative to the boat.
1) Just after her leap, how fast is she moving relative to the water?

(1) Riley velocity relative to the water after she jumps is 1.7 m/s.

(2) The velocity of the canoe relative to the water is 5.02 m/s.

The given parameters;

  • mass of Riley, m₁ = 62 kg
  • mass of canoe, m₂ = 21 kg
  • velocity of the Riley after jumping, v₁ = 1.7 m/s

(1) Since the lake is still, her velocity relative to the water after she jumps is 1.7 m/s.

(2) Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum;

m₁v₁  =  m₂v₂

62 x 1.7 = 21v₂

105.4 = 21v₂

v_2 = \frac{105.4}{21} \\\\v_2 = 5.02 \ m/s

Thus, after her leap, the velocity of the canoe relative to the water is 5.02 m/s.

Answer:

An electromagnet is a type of magnet in which the magnetic field is produced by an electric current. Electromagnets usually consist of wire wound into a coil. A current through the wire creates a magnetic field which is concentrated in the hole, denoting the centre of the coil. The magnetic field disappears when the current is turned off. The wire turns are often wound around a magnetic core made from a ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic material such as iron; the magnetic core concentrates the magnetic flux and makes a more powerful magnet.

Electromagnets

When an electric current flows in a wire, it creates a magnetic field around the wire. This effect can be used to make an electromagnet. A simple electromagnet comprises a length of wire turned into a coil and connected to a battery or power supply.

A center-seeking force related to acceleration is _______ force.
zvonat [6]
<span>The question is 'a centre seeking force related to acceleration is ............... force. The answer is centripetal force. Motion in a curved path is an accelerated motion and it requires a force that will direct the moving object towards the centre of curvature of the path of motion. This centre seeking force is known as centripetal force.</span>

During a circus performance, a 72-kg humancannonball is shot out of an 18-m-long cannon. If thehuman cannonball spends 0.95 s in
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

2872.8 N

Explanation:

We have the following information

m =n72kg

Δy = 18m

t = 0.95s.

From here we use the equation

Δy=1/2at2 in order to solve for the acceleration.

So a

=( 2x 18m)/(0.95s²)

= 36/0.9025

= 39.9m/s2.

From there we use the equation

F = ma

F=(72kg) x (39.9)

= 2872.8N.

2872.8N is the average net force exerted on him in the barrel of the cannon.

Thank you!
