The heaviest wild lion ever measured had a mass of 313 kg. Suppose this lion is walking by a lake when it sees an empty boat flo

ating at rest near the shore. The curious lion jumps into the boat with a speed of 6.00 m/s, causing the boat with the lion in it to move away from the shore with a speed of 2.50 m/s. How much kinetic energy is dissipated in this inelastic collision?

Answer:

The kinetic energy dissipated is 3286.5 J

Explanation:

K.E before collision = 1/2m1v1^2 = 1/2×313×6^2 = 5634 J

K.E after collision = 1/2(m1+m2)v2^2

From the law of conservation of momentum:

m1+m2 = m1v1/v2 = 313×6/2.5 = 751.2 kg

K.E after collision = 1/2×751.2×2.5^2 = 2347.5 J

K.E dissipated = 5634 J - 2347.5 J = 3286.5 J

An apple falls from an apple tree growing on a 20° slope. The apple hits the ground with an impact velocity of 16.2 m/s straight
EleoNora [17]

Apple hits the surface with speed 16.2 m/s

The angle made by the apple velocity with normal to the incline surface is given as 20 degree

now the component of velocity which is parallel to the surface and perpendicular to the surface is given as

v_{perpendicular} = v cos20

v_{parallel} = v sin20

so here we have

v_{parallel} = 16.2 sin20

v_{parallel} = 5.5 m/s

<em>so its velocity along the incline plane will be 5.5 m/s</em>

Which pair of graphs represent the same motion of an object
ASHA 777 [7]
To be able to identify that the object is in the same motion, we should find the graphs that has an increasing slope of displacement and with the constant velocity with varying time. Graphs on letter D satisfies these requirements.

A blue puck has a velocity of 3i –4j m/s. Its mass is 20 kg. What is its momentum?
damaskus [11]
P = m * v
v = {3i - 4j} = square root (3^2 + 4^2) = 5
P = 20 * 5
P = 100 kg m/s

What best describes myotibrils
krok68 [10]
Myofibrils are composed of long proteins such as actin, myosin, and titin, and other proteins that hold them together. These proteins are organized into thin filaments and thick filaments, which repeat along the length of the myofibril in sections called sarcomeres. Muscles contract by sliding the thin (actin) and thick (myosin) filaments along each other.
