an ice skater, standing at rest, uses her hands to push off against a wall. she exerts an average force on the wall of 120 N and

the push lasts 0.8 seconds. The skater's mass is 55 kg. what is the skater's speed after she stops pushing on the wall

Answer:

The skater's speed after she stops pushing on the wall is 1.745 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

The average force exerted on the wall by an ice skater, F = 120 N

Time, t = 0.8 seconds

Mass of the skater, m = 55 kg

It is mentioned that the initial sped of the skater is 0 as it was at rest. The change in momentum of skater is :

\Delta p=m(v-u)\\\\\Delta p=mv

The change in momentum is equal to the impulse delivered. So,

J=\Delta p=F\times t\\\\mv=F\times t\\\\v=\dfrac{Ft}{m}\\\\v=\dfrac{120\times 0.8}{55}\\\\v=1.745\ m/s

So, the skater's speed after she stops pushing on the wall is 1.745 m/s.

Tyrel is learning about a certain kind of metal used to make satellites. He learns that infrared light is absorbed by the metal,
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer: yes.

Explanation: The light that will be incidented on that metal is visible light.

It depends on 3 factors:

1. The temperature

2. The specific heat capacity of the metal

3. The thermal conductivity of the metal.

The metal getting warmer also depend on the reflection and the absorption of light energy in which it will surely absorb some energy and not reflect all.

When visible light is absorbed by an object, the object converts the short wavelength light into long wavelength heat. This causes the object to get warmer.

There are lots of examples of ideal gases in the universe, and they exist in many different conditions. In this problem we will
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

P = ρRT/M

Explanation:

Ideal gas equation is given as follows generally:

PV = nRT (1)

P = pressure in the containing vessel

V = volume of the containing vessel

n = number of moles

R = gas constant

T = temperature in K

n = m/M

m = mass of the gas contained in the vessel in g

M = molar mass in g/mol

ρ = m/V

Density of the gas = ρ

Substituting for n in (1)

PV = mRT/M. (2)

Dividing equation (2) through by V

P = m/V ×RT/M

P = ρRT/M
