From the conservation of linear momentum of closed system,

Initial momentum = final momentum

Mass of the student, M = 59 kg

Mass of the laser boat, m = 42 kg

Initial speed of student + laser boat, u =0

Final speed of laser boat, v = 1.5 m/s

Final speed of the student = V

(M+m) u =M V +m v

0 = (59 kg) V + (42 kg) (1.5m/s)

V = - 1.06 m/s

Thus, the speed of the student is 1.06 m/s in the opposite direction of the motion of boat.

Doss [256]

Answer:

The charge to mass ratio is -1.76\times10^{11}

Explanation:

Mass\ of\ electron=m_e=9.11\times10^{-31} kg\\ Charge\ of\ the\ electron=q_e=-1.60\times10^{-19} C\\

We need to find how much charge is contained  in the electron per unit of mass, to do this we divide the charge in an electron and the mass of an electron:

\frac{Charge\ of\ electron}{Mass\ of\ electron}=\frac{q_e}{m_e}\frac{C}{kg}=\frac{-1.60\times10^{-19} C}{9.11\times10^{-31} kg}=-1.76\times10^{11} \frac{C}{kg}

What is the equation describing the motion of a mass on the end of a spring which is stretched 8.8 cm from equilibrium and then
Darya [45]

Answer:

y = -8.37 cm

Explanation:

As we know that the equation of SHM is given as

y = A cos(\omega t)

here we know that

\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T}

here we have

T = 0.66 s

now we have

\omega = \frac{2\pi}{0.66}

\omega = 3\pi

now we have

y = (8.8 cm) cos(3\pi t)

now at t = 2.3 s we have

y = (8.8 cm) cos(3\pi \times 2.3)

y = -8.37 cm

Natali [406]

Answer:

A) 0.0 kJ

Explanation:

Change in the internal energy of the gas is a state function

which means it will not depends on the process but it will depends on the initial and final state

Also we know that internal energy is a function of temperature only

so here the process is given as isothermal process in which temperature will remain constant always

here we know that

\Delta U = \frac{3}{2}nR\Delta T

now for isothermal process since temperature change is zero

so change in internal energy must be ZERO
