A child of mass 27 kg swings at the end of an elastic cord. At the bottom of the swing, the child's velocity is horizontal, and

the speed is 10 m/s. At this instant the cord is 3.40 m long. (Take the x direction to be horizontal and to the right, the y direction to be upward, and the z direction to be out of the page.)
At this instant, what is the magnitude of the rate of change of the child's momentum?

A trained sea lion slides from rest down a long
Keith_Richards [3271]

Answer:

1.5 m/s²

Explanation:

Begin by sketching a free body diagram.  Three forces are at play on the sea lion: the force of gravity acting downwards, the normal force that is perpendicular to the ramp, and the frictional force parallel to the ramp.

Considering the forces perpendicular to the incline:

∑F = ma

N − mg cos θ = 0

This gives us N = mg cos θ

Next, examining the forces parallel to the incline:

∑F = ma

mg sin θ − Nμ = ma

Substituting for N yields:

mg sin θ − (mg cos θ) μ = ma

g sin θ − g cos θ μ = a

hence a = g (sin θ − μ cos θ)

If we set θ = 23° and μ = 0.26:

a = 9.8 (sin 23 − 0.26 cos 23)

this results in a = 1.48

When rounded to two significant figures, the acceleration of the sea lion is 1.5 m/s².

a 75 kg man is standing at rest on ice while holding a 4kg ball. if the man throws the ball at a velocity of 3.50 m/s forward, w
Keith_Richards [3271]

Answer:

The resulting velocity for him will be 0.187 m/s in reverse direction.

Explanation:

Given:

The mass of the man is, M=75\ kg

The mass of the ball is, m=4\ kg

The initial velocity of the man is, u_m=0\ m/s(rest)

The initial velocity of the ball is, u_b=0\ m/s(rest)

The final velocity of the ball is, v_b=3.50\ m/s

The final velocity of the man is, v_m=?\ m/s

To determine this scenario, we employ the principle of momentum conservation.

This principle states that the total initial momentum equals the total final momentum.

Momentum is calculated by multiplying mass by velocity.

Initial momentum = Initial momentum of the man and the ball

Initial momentum = Mu_m+mu_b=75\times 0+4\times 0 =0\ Nm

Final momentum = Final momentum of the man and the ball

Final momentum = Mv_m+mv_b=75\times v_m+4\times 3.50 =75v_m+14

Hence, the total initial momentum equals the total final momentum

0=75v_m+14\\\\75v_m=-14\\\\v_m=\frac{-14}{75}\\\\v_m=-0.187\ m/s

The negative sign indicates that the man moves backward.

Thus, his final velocity ends up being 0.187 m/s backward.

Astronaut A can cover 10 meters per minute walking with the heavy shovel. What does
Softa [3030]
The astronaut's speed is described in the sentence. The astronaut moves at a rate of 10 meters each minute. To clarify: speed is defined as distance divided by time and is characterized solely by its magnitude, not its direction. Hence, the 10 meters per minute reflects this. We lack information about the astronaut's directional movement. In contrast to speed, velocity incorporates direction as well; for instance, a velocity of 10m/s due west provides a directional context. Consequently, without specified direction, the value indicated is merely speed.

Keith_Richards [3271]

Answer:

E_t_o_t_a_l=7.603MJ

Explanation:

The overall energy expenditure of the salmon, which corresponds to its swimming upstream effort, W, is linked to its specific mechanical power. Mechanical \ power calculated per unit mass can be derived from the following equation:

\frac{p}{m}=\frac{1}{m}|\frac{dW}{dt}|=2W/kg\\\frac{1}{2}|\frac{W}{22\times 24 \times 60\times 60}|=2\\\\W=7.603MJ

As a result, the total energy utilized during the 22-day journey is 7.603 MJ
