Answer: fourth option 1.2 × 10³ joules

Explanation:

1) kinetic energy is calculated as the half of the product of the mass times the square of the speed:

=> KE = (1/2) m × (v)²

2) you know the mass after the collision and the speed so you have all the data fo find the numerical value of the expression for KE:

m = m1 + m2 = 200 kg + 250 kg = 450 kg

KE = (1/2) × 450 kg × (2.3 m/s)²  = 1,190.25 joules ≈ 1200 joules = 1.2 × 10³ joules, which is the last option of the list.

Answer:

B ) Ascend using my buddy alternative air source / make an emergency Ascent

Explanation:

From the description it can be seen his buddy is close by of which he can easily use the alternative air source. Also we can see that he is closer to the water surface than his buddy, of which controlled emergency swimming ascent is highly favourable in this condition.

sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

  0

Explanation:

Assuming your graph and question match the attachment, the average speed is 0. The bug ends up where it started, so its displacement is zero.

  average speed = displacement/time = 0/(8 s)

  average speed = 0

If Pete ( mass=90.0kg) weights himself and finds that he weighs 30.0 pounds, how far away from the surface of the earth is he
shutvik [7]

Answer: 9938.8 km

Explanation:

1 pound-force = 4.48 N

30.0 pounds-force = 134.4 N

The force of gravitation between Earth and object on the surface of is given by:

F = \frac{GMm}{R^2} = mg

Where M is the mass of the Earth, m is the mass of the object, R (6371 km) is the radius of the Earth.

At height, h above the surface of the Earth, the weight of the object:

(mg)'= \frac{GMm}{(R+h)^2}

we need to find "h"

taking the ratio of two:

\frac{mg}{(mg)'}=\frac{(R+h)^2}{R^2}\\ \Rightarrow \frac{90kg \times 9.8 m/s^2}{134.4 N}=\frac{(R+h)^2}{R^2}\\ \Rightarrow 6.56 R^2= (R+h)^2 \Rightarrow h= (2.56-1)R\\ \Rightarrow h = 1.56 R = 1.56 \times 6371 km = 9938. 8 km

Hence, Pete would weigh 30 pounds at 9938.8 km above the surface of the Earth.

A 69.0 kg ice skater moving to the right with a velocity of 2.61 m/s throws a 0.22 kg snowball to the right with a velocity of 2
Luda [366]

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
