A 60 kg student in a rowboat on a still lake decides to dive off the back of the boat. The studen'ts horizontal aceleration is 2

.0 m/s2 while in contact with the boat. What horizontal force does the student exert on the boat?
a 30N toward the back of the boat
b 120 n toward the front of the boat
c 30 n toward the front of the boat
d 120 n toward the back of the boat

As per the third law of Newton, the force exerted by the boat over the student is equal in magnitude to the force that the student exerted on the boat.

So, calculate the force on the student using the second law of Newton, Force = mass * acceleration.

Force on the student = 60 kg * 2.0 m/s^2 = 120 N.

=> horizontal force exerted by the student on the boat = 120 N

Answer: option d. 120 N. toward the back of the boat.

Of course it is toward the back because that is where the student jumped from..

Calculate the energy in the form of heat (in kJ) required to change 75.0 g of liquid water at 27.0 °C to ice at –20.0 °C. Assume
REY [17]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

          mass, m = 75 g

      T_{1} = 0^{o}C

      T_{2} = 27^{o}C

      Specific heat of water = 4.18

First, we will calculate the heat required for water is as follows.

            q = m C \times (T_{1} - T_{2})

               = 75 g \times 4.18 J/g^{o}C \times (0 - 27)^{o}C

               = 8464.5 J/mol

               = 8.46 kJ ......... (1)

Also, it is given that T_{3} = -20^{o}C = (20 + 273) K = 293 K and specific heat of ice is 2.108 kJ/kg K.

Now, we will calculate the heat of fusion as follows.

        q = mC \times (T_{3} - T_{1})

           = 0.075 kg \times 2.108 kJ/kg K \times (-293 - 0) K

           = -46.32 kJ ......... (2)

Now, adding both equations (1) and (2) as follows.

               8.46 kJ - 46.32 kJ

             = -37.86 kJ

Therefore, we can conclude that energy in the form of heat (in kJ) required to change 75.0 g of liquid water at 27.0^{o}C to ice at -20.0^{o}C is -37.86 kJ.

avanturin [10]

6m at 0.9 radian means 6m at 51.57^0

Since positive angles are counter clockwise

6m at 51.57^0 can be written as 6*cos51.57^0i+6*sin51.57^0j = 3.73i+4.70j

5m at -75^0 can be written as 5*cos(-75)^0i+5*sin(-75)^0j = 1.294i-4.83j

4m at 1.2 radian means 4m at 68.75^0

4m at 68.75^0 can be written as 4*cos68.75^0i+4*sin68.75^0j = 1.45i+3.73j

6m at -210^0 can be written as 6*cos(-210)^0i+6*sin(-210)^0j = -5.20i-3j

a) So sum of the vector = 1.274i+0.6j

b) Magnitude = \sqrt{1.274^2+0.6^2} = 1.98 m

c) Angle,  tan\theta = \frac{0.6}{1.274} \\ \\ \theta = 25.22^0

Calculate the number of moles in each of the following masses: 0.039 g of palladium 0.0073 kg of tantalum
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

<em>The number of moles of palladium and tantalum are 0.00037 mole and 0.0000404 mole respectively</em>

Explanation:

Number of mole = reacting mass/molar mass

n = R.m/m.m......................... Equation 1

Where n = number of moles, R.m = reacting mass, m.m = molar mass.

For palladium,

R.m = 0.039 g and m.m = 106.42 g/mol

Substituting theses values into equation 1

n = 0.039/106.42

n = 0.00037 mole

For tantalum,

R.m = 0.0073 and m.m = 180.9 g/mol

Substituting these values into equation 1

n = 0.0073/180.9

n = 0.0000404 mole

<em>Therefore the number of moles of palladium and tantalum are 0.00037 mole and 0.0000404 mole respectively</em>
