AI Thread Summary
To determine the stopping time for a 24.0 kg dog on a skateboard with a combined mass of 27.6 kg, a force of 9.0 N is applied. The relevant equations include the momentum formula P=MV and the force-momentum relationship F(change in time)=Pf-Pi. To calculate the stopping time, the initial momentum must be determined by multiplying the total mass by the initial velocity of 3.0 m/s. By substituting the known values into the equations, the change in time can be calculated. Understanding these calculations is essential for solving the problem effectively.

Homework Statement


A 24.0kg dog running at a speed of 3.0m/s jumps onto a stationary skateboard that has a mass of 3.6 kg how long will it take a force with a magnitude of 9.0 N to stop the skateboard and the dog?


Homework Equations


F(change in time)=Pf-Pi
P=MV


The Attempt at a Solution


I don't understand how to calculate the length of time that it takes for the 9.0N force is going to slow down the skateboard and the dog.

You can use the formula you wrote: F(change in time)=Pf-Pi
Put in the numbers for the force and momentum and then you can calculate the change in time.

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'

My initial calculation was to subtract V1 from V2 to show that from the perspective of the second aircraft the first one is -300km/h. So i checked with ChatGPT and it said I cant just subtract them because I have an angle between them. So I dont understand the reasoning of it. Like why should a velocity be dependent on an angle? I was thinking about how it would look like if the planes where parallel to each other, and then how it look like if one is turning away and I dont see it. Since...
