Use conservation of momentum.

Initial momentum = 0

Final momentum = momentum of the girl + momentum of the boy = inifial momentum = 0.

Momentum of the girl = - momentum of the boy

mass of the girl * velocity of the girl = - mass of the boy * velocity of the boy

50 kg * velocity of the girl = - 80 kg * 3m/s

=> velocity of the girls = -80 kg * 3m/s / 50 kg = - 4.8 m/s

Answer: - 4.8 m/s

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

t=0.704s

Explanation:

A child is running his 46.1 g toy car down a ramp. The ramp is 1.73 m long and forms a 40.5° angle with the flat ground. How long will it take the car to reach the bottom of the ramp if there is no friction?

from newton equation of motion , we look for the y component of the speed and look for the x component of the speed. we can then find the resultant of the speed

V^{2} =u^{2} +2as

Vy^2=0+2*9.8*1.73sin40.5

Vy^2=22.021

Vy=4.69m/s

Vx^2=u^2+2*9.81*cos40.5

Vy^2=25.81

Vy=5.08m/s

V=(Vy^2+Vx^2)^0.5

V=47.71^0.5

V=6.9m/s

from newtons equation of motion we know that force applied is directly proportional to the rate of change in momentum on a body.

f=force applied

v=velocity final

u=initial velocity

m=mass of the toy, 0.046

f=ma

f=m(v-u)/t

v=u+at

6.9=0+9.8t

t=6.9/9.81

t=0.704s

Hicham El Guerrouj of Morocco holds the world record in the 1500 m running race. He ran the final 400 m in a time of 51.9 s.
konstantin123 [22]

Answer: His average speed in mph over the last 400 m is 7.7 m/s.

Explanation:

Given: Hicham El Guerrouj of Morocco holds the world record in the 1500 m running race. He ran the final 400 m in a time of 51.9 s.

We know that , speed = \dfrac{distance}{time}

Here , distance = 400m and time = 51.9 s

Then, speed =  \dfrac{400}{51.9}\approx7.7\ m/s

Hence, his average speed in mph over the last 400 m is 7.7 m/s.

A street light is mounted at the top of a 15-ft-tall pole. A man 6 ft tall walks away from the pole with a speed of 4 ft/s along
babymother [125]

Answer:

Explanation:

height of pole = 15 ft

height of man = 6 ft

Let the length of shadow is y .

According to the diagram

Let at any time the distance of man is x.

The two triangles are similar

\frac{y-x}{y}=\frac{6}{15}

15 y - 15 x = 6 y

9 y = 15 x

y=\frac{5}{3}x

Differentiate with respect to time.

\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{5}{3}\frac{dx}{dt}

As given, dx/dt = 4 ft/s

\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{5}{3}\times 4

\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{20}{3} ft/s

A certain humidifier operates by raising water to the boiling point and then evaporating it. Every minute 30 g of water at 20◦ C
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

The value of total energy needed per minute for the humidifier = 77.78 KJ

Explanation:

Total energy per minute the humidifier required = Energy required to heat water to boiling point) + Energy required to convert liquid water into vapor at the boiling point) ----- (1)

Specific heat of water = 4190 \frac{J}{kg k}

The heat of vaporization is =  2256 \frac{KJ}{kg}

Mass = 0.030 kg

Energy needed to heat water to boiling point =  m c ( T_{2} - T_{1} )

Energy needed to heat water to boiling point = 0.030 × 4.19 × (100 - 20)

Energy (E_{1}) = 10.08 KJ

Energy needed to convert liquid water into vapor at the boiling point

E_{2} = 0.030 × 2256 = 67.68 KJ

Thus the total energy needed E =  E_{1} + E_{2}

E = 10.08 + 67.68

E = 77.78 KJ

This is the value of total energy needed per minute for the humidifier.
