The final velocity of skater 1 is 3.7 m/s to the right. The right option is O A. 3.7 m/s to the right.

<h3>What is velocity?</h3>

Velocity can be defined as the ratio of the displacement and time of a body.

To calculate the final velocity of Skater 1 we use the formula below.

Formula:

mu+MU = mv+MV............ Equation 1

Where:

m = mass of the first skater
M = mass of the second skater
u = initial velocity of the first skater
U = initial velocity of the second skater
v = final velocity of the first skater
V = final velocity of the second skater.

make v the subject of the equation.

v = (mu+MU-MV)/m................ Equation 2

Note: Let left direction represent negative and right direction represent positive.

From the question,

Given:

m = 105 kg
u = -2 m/s
M = 71 kg
U = 5 m/s
V = -3.4 m/s.

Substitute these values into equation 2

v = [(105×(-2))+(71×5)-(71×(-3.4))]/105
v = (-210+355+241.4)/105
v = 386.4/105
v = 3.68 m/s
v ≈ 3.7 m/s

Hence, the final velocity of skater 1 is 3.7 m/s to the right. The right option is O A. 3.7 m/s to the right.

Which process generates energy in the Sun?1) nuclear fusion2) nuclear fission3) chain reaction4) transmutation

Ber [7]

1) nuclear fusion

During nuclear fusion, the high pressure and temperature in the sun's core cause nuclei to separate from their electrons. During this process, radiant energy is released.

A proton, an alpha particle (a bare helium nucleus), and a singly ionized helium atom are accelerated through a potential differ

ra1l [238]

Answer:

The correct question is:

"Find the energy each gains"

The energy gained by a charged particle accelerated through a potential difference is given by

$\Delta U = q\Delta V$

where

q is the charge of the particle

$\Delta V$ is the potential difference

For a proton,

$q=+e=1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C$

And since $\Delta V=100 V$

The energy gained by the proton is

$\Delta U=(1.6\cdot 10^{-19})(100)=1.6\cdot 10^{-17}J$

For an alpha particle,

$q=+2e=3.2\cdot 10^{-19}C$

Therefore, the energy gained is

$\Delta U=(3.2\cdot 10^{-19})(100)=3.2\cdot 10^{-17}J$

Finally, for a singly ionized helium nucleus (a helium nucleus that has lost one electron)

$q=+e=1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C$

So the energy gained is the same as the proton:

$\Delta U=(1.6\cdot 10^{-19})(100)=1.6\cdot 10^{-17}J$

a swimmer can swim in still water at a speed of 9.50 m/s. he intends to swim directly across the river that has a downstream cur

Doss [256]

Refer to the diagram shown below.

Still-water speed = 9.5 m/s
River speed = 3.75 m/s down stream.

The velocity of the swimmer relative to the bank is the vector sum of his still-water speed and the speed of the river.

The velocity relative to the bank is
V = √(9.5² + 3.75²) = 10.21 m/s

The downstream angle is
θ = tan⁻¹ 3.75/9.5 = 21.5°

Answer: 10.2 m/s at 21.5° downstream.
