Answer:

0.08m/s

Explanation:

Given data

M1= 69kg

v1= 2.61m/s

M2= 0.22kg

v2= 25.2m/s

Before snowball is thrown:

Total mass of skater + snowball = 69+ 0.22 = 69.22kg

Total Momentum of skater + snowball = mv = 69.22 x 2.61 = 180.7 kgm/s

After snowball is thrown:

Let's call the velocity of the skater V.

Total momentum = momentum of skater + momentum of snowball

=69.22V + (5.544)

= 69.22V + 5.544

So:

180.7 = 69.22V+5.544

180.7- 5.544= 69.22V

175.156= 69.22V

V= 175.156/69.22

V = 2.53m/s

The total momentum after catching the snowball is mV or:

(69.0 + 0.22) x V

So:

5.544= 69.22V

V= 5.544/69.22

V=0.08m/s

The velocity of the ice skater after throwing the snowball is 0.08m/s

Which statements describe vectors? Check all that apply. -Vectors have magnitude only. -Vectors have direction only. -Vectors ha

Natali [406]

Answer:

Vectors have both magnitude and direction

Explanation:

Vectors show how strong the force in because the bigger the arrow, the stronger the force. Also, it obviously shows direction because its an arrow.

Ron fills a beaker with glycerin (n = 1.473) to a depth of 5.0 cm. if he looks straight down through the glycerin surface, he wi

Tju [1.3M]

By law of refraction we know that image position and object positions are related to each other by following relation

$\frac{\mu_1}{h_o} = \frac{\mu_2}{h_i}$

here we know that

$\mu_1 = 1.473$

$h_o = 5 cm$

$\mu_2 = 1$

now by above formula

$\frac{1.473}{5} = \frac{1}{h_i}$

$h_i = 3.39 cm$

so apparent depth of the bottom is seen by the observer as h = 3.39 cm

Two uniform, solid cylinders of radius R and total mass M are connected along their common axis by a short, light rod and rest o

sveta [45]

Explanation:

A) To prove the motion of the center of mass of the cylinders is simple harmonic:

System diagram for given situation is shown in attached Fig. 1

We can prove the motion of the center of mass of the cylinders is simple harmonic if

$a_{x} = -\omega^{2} x$

where aₓ is acceleration when attached cylinders move in horizontal direction:

<h3>PROOF:</h3>

rotational inertia for cylinders is given as:

$I=\frac{1}{2}MR^{2}$ -----(1)

Newton's second law for angular motion is:

∑τ = Iα ------(2)

For linear motion in horizontal direction it is:

∑Fₓ = Maₓ ------ (3)

By definition of torque:

τ = RF --------(4)

Put (4) and (1) in (2)

$RF=\frac{1}{2}MR^{2}\alpha$

$RF=\frac{1}{2}MR^{2}\alpha$

from Fig 3 it can be seen that fs is force by which the cylinders roll without slipping as they oscillate

So above equation becomes

$f_{s}=\frac{1}{2}MR\alpha$ ------ (5)

As angular acceleration is related to linear by:

$a= R\alpha$

Eq (5) becomes

$f_{s}=\frac{1}{2}Ma_{x}$ ---- (6)

aₓ shows displacement in horizontal direction

From (3)

∑Fₓ = Maₓ

Fₓ is sum of fs and restoring force that spring exerts:

$\sum F_{x} = f_{s} - kx$ ----(7)

Put (7) in (3)

$f_{s} - kx = Ma_{x}$ [/tex] -----(8)

Using (6) in (8)

$\frac{1}{2}Ma_{x} - kx =Ma_{x}$

$a_{x} = \frac{2k}{3M} x$ --- (9)

For spring mass system

$a= -\omega^{2} x$ ----- (10)

Equating (9) and (10)

$\omega^{2} = \frac{2k}{3M}$

$\omega = \sqrt{ \frac{2k}{3M}}$

then (9) becomes

$a_{x} = - \omega^{2}x$

(The minus sign says that x and aₓ have opposite directions as shown in fig 3)

This proves that the motion of the center of mass of the cylinders is simple harmonic.

<h3 /><h3>B) Time Period</h3>

Time period is related to angular frequency as:

$T=\frac{2\pi }{\omega}$

$T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{3M}{2k}$

On a snowy day, max (mass = 15 kg) pulls his little sister maya in a sled (combined mass = 20 kg) through the slippery snow. max

sesenic [268]

Work done by a given force is given by

$W = F.d$

here on sled two forces will do work

1. Applied force by Max

2. Frictional force due to ground

Now by force diagram of sled we can see the angle of force and displacement

work done by Max = $W_1 = Fdcos\theta$

$W_1 = 12*5cos15$

$W_1 = 57.96 J$

Now similarly work done by frictional force

$W_2 = Fdcos\theta$

$W_2 = 4*5cos180$

$W_2= -20 J$

Now total work done on sled

$W_{net}= W_1 + W2$

$W_{net} = 57.96 - 20 = 37.96 J$

Some of the fastest dragsters (called "top fuel) do not race for more than 300-400m for safety reasons. Consider such a dragster

Masja [62]

Answer:

1.10261 times g

416.17506 mph

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 400=0\times 8.6+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times 8.6^2\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{400\times 2}{8.6^2}\\\Rightarrow a=10.81665\ m/s^2$

Dividing by g

$\dfrac{a}{g}=\dfrac{10.81665}{9.81}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{a}{g}=1.10261\\\Rightarrow a=1.10261g$

The acceleration is 1.10261 times g

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2as+u^2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 10.81665\times 1.6\times 10^3+0^2}\\\Rightarrow v=186.04644\ m/s$

In mph

$186.04644\times \dfrac{3600}{1609.34}=416.17506\ mph$

The speed of the dragster is 416.17506 mph
