Two hockey players skating on essentially frictionless ice collide head-on. Madeleine, of mass 65.0 kg, is moving at 6.00 m/s to

the east just before the collision and at 3.00 m/s to the west just after the collision. Buffy, of mass 55.0 kg, is moving at 3.50 m/s to the east just after the collision. Find Buffy's velocity (magnitude and direction) just before the collision.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of Madeleine, $m_1=65\ kg$

Initial speed of Madeleine, $u_1=6\ m/s$ (due east)

Final speed of Madeleine, $v_1=-3\ m/s$ (due west)

Mass of Buffy, $m_2=55\ kg$

Final speed of Buffy, $v_2=3.5\ m/s$ (due east)

Let $u_1$ is the Buffy's velocity just before the collision. Using the conservation of linear momentum as :

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2$

$65\times 6+55\times u_2=65\times (-3)+55\times 3.5$

$u_2=-7.13\ m/s$

So, the initial speed of the Buffy just before the collision is 7.13 m/s and it is moving due west. Hence, this is the required solution.

What is the threshold frequency for sodium metal if a photon with frequency 6.66 × 1014 s−1 ejects a photon with 7.74 × 10−20 J

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

5.5 × 10^14 Hz or s^-1

no orange light has less frequency so no photoelectric effect

Explanation:

hf = hf0 + K.E

HERE h is Planck 's constant having value 6.63 × 10 ^-34 J s

f is frequency of incident photon and f0 is threshold frequency

hf0 = hf- k.E

6.63 × 10 ^-34 × f0 = 6.63 × 10 ^-34× 6.66 × 10^14 - 7.74× 10^-20

6.63 × 10 ^-34 × f0 = 3.64158×10^-19

f0 = 3.64158×10^-19/ 6.63 × 10 ^-34

f0 = 5.4925 × 10^14

f0 =5.5 × 10^14 Hz or s^-1

frequency of orange light is 4.82 × 10^14 Hz which is less than threshold frequency hence photo electric effect will not be observed for orange light

Imagine you derive the following expression by analyzing the physics of a particular system: v2=v20+2ax. The problem requires so

lisabon 2012 [21]

As per kinematics equation we are given that

$v^2 = v_o^2 + 2ax$

now we are given that

a = 2.55 m/s^2

$v_0 = 21.8 m/s$

$v = 0$

now we need to find x

from above equation we have

$0^2 = 21.8^2 + 2(2.55)x$

$0 = 475.24 + 5.1 x$

$x = 93.2 m$

so it will cover a distance of 93.2 m

What conclusion can be derived by comparing the central tendencies of the two data sets?

zhannawk [14.2K]

The answer is B. I don’t think I need to explain this,
Mean is average, Mode is the most common number, and Median is the middle number when you put the numbers is numerical order from least to greatest

A flashlight beam makes an angle of 60 degrees with the surface of the water before it enters the water. in the water what angle

alexira [117]

<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

= 22°

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

According to Snell's law, the ratio of the sine of the angle of incidence to the sine of the angle of refraction is a constant. The constant value is called the refractive index of the second medium with respect to the first.

Therefore; Sin i/Sin r = η

In this case; Angle of incidence = 90° -60° =30°, angle of refraction =? and η = 1.33

Thus;

Sin 30 / Sin r = 1.33

Sin r = Sin 30°/1.33

= 0.3759

r = Sin^-1 0.3759

= 22.08

<u>≈ 22°</u>

Racing greyhounds are capable of rounding corners at very high speeds. A typical greyhound track has turns that are 45-m-diamete

Margarita [4]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Diameter of the semicircle, d = 45 m

Radius of the semicircle, r = 22.5 m

Speed of greyhound, v = 15 m/s

The greyhound is moving under the action of centripetal acceleration. Its formula is given by :

$a=\dfrac{v^2}{r}$

$a=\dfrac{(15)^2}{22.5}$

$a=10\ m/s^2$

We know that, $g=9.8\ m/s^2$

$a=\dfrac{10\times g}{9.8}$

$a=1.02\ g$

Hence, this is the required solution.
