This is a problem of conservation of momentum
Momentum before throwing the rock: m*V = 96.0 kg * 0.480 m/s = 46.08 N*s
A) man throws the rock forward
=>
rock:
m1 = 0.310 kg
V1 = 14.5 m/s, in the same direction of the sled with the man
sled and man:
m2 = 96 kg - 0.310 kg = 95.69 kg
v2 = ?
Conservation of momentum:
momentum before throw = momentum after throw
46.08N*s = 0.310kg*14.5m/s + 95.69kg*v2
=> v2 = [46.08 N*s - 0.310*14.5N*s ] / 95.69 kg = 0.434 m/s
B) man throws the rock backward
this changes the sign of the velocity, v2 = -14.5 m/s
46.08N*s = - 0.310kg*14.5m/s + 95.69kg*v2
v2 = [46.08 N*s + 0.310*14.5 N*s] / 95.69 k = 0.529 m/s
Answer and Explanation
Arranging the measured values in increasing order;
4.3s, 4.6s, 4.6s, 4.8s, 5.1s, 5.8s
The two outliers are obviously 4.3s and 5.8s; An outlier is a value in a statistical sample which does not fit a pattern that describes most other data point. Outliers make the average value complicated. So, it is usually better for data to be precise with data points spreading out around a small area.
So, the mean is the average of the four remaining data points after removing the outliers.
Mean = (4.6 + 4.6 + 4.8 + 5.1)/4
Mean = 4.775s
So, the value recorded should be 4.775s, 4.78s or 4.8s depending on the number of decimal places allowed.

Answer:
The heavier piece acquired 2800 J kinetic energy
Explanation:
From the principle of conservation of linear momentum:
0 = M₁v₁ - M₂v₂
M₁v₁ = M₂v₂
let the second piece be the heavier mass, then
M₁v₁ = (2M₁)v₂
v₁ = 2v₂ and v₂ = ¹/₂ v₁
From the principle of conservation of kinetic energy:
¹/₂ K.E₁ + ¹/₂ K.E₂ = 8400 J
¹/₂ M₁(v₁)² + ¹/₂ (2M₁)(¹/₂v₁)² = 8400
¹/₂ M₁(v₁)² + ¹/₄M₁(v₁)² = 8400
K.E₁ + ¹/₂K.E₁ = 8400
Now, we determine K.E₁ and note that K.E₂ = ¹/₂K.E₁
1.5 K.E₁ = 8400
K.E₁ = 8400/1.5
K.E₁ = 5600 J
K.E₂ = ¹/₂K.E₁ = 0.5*5600 J = 2800 J
Therefore, the heavier piece acquired 2800 J kinetic energy
Answer:
Althought it us possible to have more then one state, it's also possible to have only one state of matter
Explanation:
You can make solutions of only one state if matter, for example , it two liquids can be mixed to form a solution they are called miscible.
The water level rises, because ice is made of water
