a 8.5 kg dog takes a nap in a canoe and wakes up to find the canoe has drifted out onto the lake but now is stationary. he walks along the length of the canoe at 0.47 m/s , relative to the water, and the canoe simultaneously moves in the opposite direction at 0.11 m/s .(a) What is the mass of the canoe?

Respuesta :

After solving the equation the mass of canoe is 36.3kg.

What is momentum principle?

First, according to the momentum principle, an object's momentum, which is determined by its mass and velocity, is changed by a net force. In physics, momentum is defined mathematically as the product of mass and velocity, as seen in the equation below:

p = m ×v

p = momentum, and m = mass.

velocity, or v

There is no unique symbol used exclusively for momentum when it comes to units. Instead, it is just the sum of the usual units for mass and velocity, respectively, kilogrammes (kg) and metres per second (m/s). Kilograms times metres per second (kg m/s) are the units used to measure momentum.

Mdog=M1=8.5Kg

Vi dog= Vi boat= V1=0m/s

Vf dog= Vf1=0.47m/s

Vf boat=Vf2=0.11m/s

Mboat=M2=?

The momentum is conserved and constant.

Δp=pf −pi=0

pf−pi =0

pf-pi

​M1V1f + M2V2f= M1Vi + M2Vi

​M1V1f + M2V2f= 0

M2V2f = - M1V1f

      M2= -M1V1f÷V2f

           = -8.5× -0.47÷0.11

           =36.3Kg

The mass of the canoe is 36.3Kg

Define mass of an object.

The amount of matter a thing contains, or its mass, is a measure of the object's inertial attribute. An object's weight is a measurement of the force of gravity acting on it or the force required to hold it up.

Mass of the dog:

M1 = 8.5kg

Velocity of the dog:

V1  = 0.47m/s

Velocity of the canoe:

V2 = −0.17 m/s

mass of canoe :

M2 ?

Since the dog and boat are initially at rest, their combined motion is zero.

When the dog paddles alongside the canoe, both the dog and the canoe reach their respective speeds. But because to momentum conservation, their overall momentum stays constant.

Δp=pf −pi=0

pf = pi

​M1V1f + M2V2f= M1Vi + M2Vi

​M1V1f + M2V2f= 0

M2V2f = - M1V1f

     M2= -M1V1f÷V2f

          = -8.5× -0.47÷0.11

         =36.3Kg
