A 200 kg man is stuck, motionless, in the middle of a frictionless ice pond. Because it's cold, he's wearing a coat. He wants to

get off the pond. Since he has studied physics and knows about conservation of momentum, he decides to throw his 4 kg coat. If he throws the coat at 50 m/s, what will his speed be

The speed of the man when he throws the coat is 1 m/s.

<h3>Conversion of linear momentum</h3>

The speed of the man can be determined by applying the principle of conservation of linear momentum as follows;

m₁v₁ = m₂v₂

v₁ = (m₂v₂)/m₁

v₁ = (50 x 4)/200

v₁ = 1 m/s

Thus, the speed of the man when he throws the coat is 1 m/s.

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

a.

Explanation:

The air moves faster across the top of the surface and exerts less pressure on the air below and thus due to difference in air pressure the top roof is lifted.

hence the correct option is pressure underneath them is reduced.

Ect electroconvulsive therapy is sometimes used to treat depression. A dose of charge 0.09C is applied with a pulse that lasts 1
nata0808 [166]

The current applied is 90A.

The formula used is I =Q/t.

what is ECT(electroconvulsive therapy) ?

A treatment called electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is used to treat some psychiatric problems. It includes administering a precisely timed electric current to the brain in order to influence brain function, which is intended to alleviate severe depressed and psychotic symptoms.

Modern day ECT is safe and effective . ECT is an invasive operation that can result in some memory issues, therefore it should only be used when absolutely required. It can relieve symptoms of the most severe forms of depression more successfully than medication or therapy.

what is charge and current ?

Electrons are particles that carry electrical energy from a cell through conducting wires as an electric current. Electrons are negatively charged particles. Charge is measured in coulombs, C. 1.6 x 10-19 C is the charge of an electron.

Charged particle flow is what makes up an electric current.
