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

A ski lift is used to transport people from the base of a hill to the top. If the lift leaves the base at a velocity of 15.5 m/s
Neko [114]
This can be calculated with the law of conservation of energy. The sky lift is starting with the speed v= 15.5 m/s and all of it's kinetic energy Ek is transformed to potential energy Ep so the energies have to be equal: Ep=Ek.
Since Ek=(1/2)*m*v² where m is mass and v is the speed, Ep=m*g*h, where m is mass, g= 9.81 m/s² and h is height. Now:

Ek=Ep 

(1/2)*m*v²=m*g*h, masses cancel out,

(1/2)*v²=g*h, divide by g to get the height,

(1/2*g)*v²=h and now plug in the numbers:

h=12.245 m. Height of the hill rounded to the nearest tenth is h=12.25 m

Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

ω = 4.07 rad/s

Explanation:

By conservation of the energy:

W = ΔK

1.91J = I/2*\omega^2

where I = 2/3*m*R^2=0.23kg.m^2

Solving for ω:

\omega = \sqrt{W*2/I} =4.07rad/s

5. A nail contains trillions of electrons. Given that electrons repel from each other, why do they not then fly out of the nail?
diamong [38]

Answer:

Nails are made of iron. Iron consists of 26 protons and 26 electrons. protons are positively charged and electrons are negatively charged, so this force of attraction keeps the electrons together.

If electrons repel from each other, the positively charge protons and nucleus allow them to move in a definite orbit and prevent them flying out of the nail.

In which of the following color gradient types does the linear gradient gets mirrored on either side of the starting point?
Travka [436]

Answer: Reflected  

Explanation: Color Gradient refers to the variety of position dependent (as the vary with position) colors which are used to fill a region. Gradient is a mixture of two or more colors. This blend of colors adds depth to the design.

Types of color gradient are

  • Linear: The color blends in a straight from starting to ending point
  • Radial: The color transitions from starting point to ending a circular pattern.
  • Angle: It glides counterclockwise around starting point.
  • Diamond: It makes a diamond shape from starting point and its ending point is one corner of diamond.
  • Reflected: In this color gradient type symmetric linear gradient gets mirrored on either side of the starting point. This type of color gradient can be used to depict a lead pipe.
