A man of mass m 1 5 70.0 kg is skating at v1 5 8.00 m/s behind his wife of mass m 2 5 50.0 kg, who is skating at v2 5 4.00 m/s.

Instead of passing her, he inadvertently collides with her. He grabs her around the waist, and they maintain their balance. (a) Sketch the problem with before - and - after diagrams, representing the skaters as blocks. (b) Is the collision best described as elastic, inelastic, or perfectly inelastic? Why? (c) Write the general equation for conservation of momentum in terms of m 1, v 1, m 2, v 2, and final velocity vf . (d) Solve the momentum equation for vf . (e) Substitute values, obtaining the numerical value for vf , their speed after the collision.

Answer:

A. Kindly find attached free body diagram for your reference (smiles I guess I will make a terrible artist)

B. The collision is inelastic because both the husband and the wife moved together with same velocity as he grabs her on the waist

C. The general equation for conservation of momentum in terms of m 1, v 1, m 2, v 2, and final velocity vf

Say mass of husband is m1

Mass of the wife is m2

Velocity of the husband is v1

Velocity of the wife is v2

According to the conservation of momentum principle momentum before impact m1v1+m2v2 =momentum after impact Common velocity after impact (m1+m2)vf

The momentum equation is

m1v1+m2v2= (m1+m2)vf

D. To solve for vf we need to make it subject of formula

vf= {(m1v1) +(m2v2)}/(m1+m2)

E. Substituting our given data

vf=

{(1570*58)+(2550*54)}/(1570+2558)

vf=91060+137700/4120

vf=228760/4120

vf=55.52m/s

Their speed after collision is 55.52m/s

a lady bug walks 10 cm forward then 5 cm backwards in 20 seconds. what is the average speed of the ladybug ?
igor_vitrenko [27]

A lady bug moves 10 cm forward and 5 cm backwards

so total distance moved by lady bug = 10 + 5 = 15 cm

total time taken by the lady bug

t =  20 s

so the average speed is given as

v = \frac{d}{t}

v = \frac{15}{20}

v = 0.75 cm/s

so its average speed is 0.75 cm/s

How many slices of bread did each climber have to eat to compensate for the increase of the gravitational potential energy of th
N76 [4]

Answer:

So No of slices to be consumed by each person = n = 65

Explanation:

Energy released by one slice = E1

E1=10^6\ J

h = 8850 m ; m = 79 kg ,η= 10.5%

We know that potential energy given as

u = m g h

u = 79 x 9.81 x 8850

u=6.8\times 10^6\ J

we know from the defination of efficiency that,  η= E(out)/E(in)

Now amount of PE has to be compensated, In our case, E(out) =u

0.105=\dfrac{E(out)}{E(in)}

0.105=\dfrac{6.8\times 10^6}{E(in)}

E(in)=64.76\times 10^6\ J

Let n be the number of bread slices to be consumed.

n = E(in)/E1

n=\dfrac{64.76\times 10^6}{10^6}

n=64.76

So No of slices to be consumed by each person = n = 65

A hiker caught in a rainstorm absorbs 1.00 L of water in her clothing. If it is windy so that the water evaporates quickly at 20
masya89 [10]

Answer:

(A) Q = 2.26×10⁶J

(B) ΔT = 9°C

(C)

Explanation:

We have been given the mass of the hiker, the volume of water from which we can calculate the mass knowing that the density if water is 1000kg/m³.

Evaporation is a phase change and occurs at a constant temperature. We would use the latent heat of vaporization to calculate the amount of heat evaporated.

We would then equate this to the heat change it brings about in the hiker's body and then calculate the temperature drop.

See the attachment below for full solution.

Complete Question

The complete question iws shown on the first uploaded image  

Answer:

a

    y \to z \to x

b

  x \to z \to y

Explanation:

Now looking at the diagram let take that the magnetic field is moving in the x-axis

 Now the magnetic force is mathematically represented as

             F =  I L x B

Note (The x is showing cross product )

Note the force(y-axis) is perpendicular to the field direction (x-axis)

Now when the loop is swinging forward

 The motion of the loop is  from   y to z to to x to y

Now since the force is perpendicular to the motion(velocity) of the loop

Hence the force would be from z to y and back to z  

and from lenze law the induce current opposes the force so the direction will be from y to z to x

Now when the loop is swinging backward

   The motion of the induced current will now be   x to z to y
