The direction of the skaters after the collision is 61 degrees.

<h3>Momentum of the skaters</h3>

The momentum of the skaters is calculated as follows;

P(N) = 58.9 x 7.8 = 459.42 kgm/s

P(E) = 72.6 x 3.5 = 254.1 kgm/s

<h3>Direction of the skaters after collision</h3>

The direction of the skaters after the collision is calculated as follows;

\theta = tan^{-1} (\frac{459.42}{254.1} )\\\\\theta = 61^ 0

Thus, the direction of the skaters after the collision is 61 degrees.

Elephants can communicate over distances as far as 6 km by using very low-frequency sound waves. What is the wavelength of a 10
harkovskaia [24]

The characteristics of the sound waves allow to find the result for the wavelength is:

         λ = 34.29 m

The sound wave is a longitudinal traveling wave, where the speed of the wave depends on the air temperature.

         v = v_o \sqrt{1 + \frac{T}{273} }  

where v₀ is the speed of sound for T = 0ºc v₀ = 331 m / s.

indicate that the temperature is T = 20ºC, let's find the speed of the traveling wave.

        v = 331 \sqrt{1 + \frac{20}{273} }  

        v = 342.9 m / s

The speed of sound is related to wavelength and frequency.

       v = λ f

        λ = \frac{v}{f}

Let's calculate

        \lambda = \frac{342.29}{10}  

        λ  = 34.29 m

In conclusion using the characteristics of sound waves we can find the result for the wavelength is:

          λ = 34.29 m

What will happen to the absorption and/or emission spectral lines of an object moving away from Earth at high speed?
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

c. They will be shifted toward the red end of the spectrum.

Explanation:

When the absorption or emission lines of a moving object away from from the earth at very high speed then the spectral lines  will be shifted toward the red end of the spectrum.This effect can be easily understand by Doppler effect..

So the our option c is correct.

c. They will be shifted toward the red end of the spectrum.

Dry air is primarily composed of nitrogen. In a classroom demonstration, a physics instructor pours 3.6 L of liquid nitrogen int
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

The  value is  V_n  =  2.2498 \  m^3

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The volume of  liquid nitrogen is  V_n  =  3.6 \  L=  3.6 *10^{-3} \ m^3

   The  density of  nitrogen at gaseous form   is  \rho_n =  1.2929 \  kg/m^3  =  The dry air at sea level

   

Generally the density of nitrogen at liquid form is  

         \rho _l = 808 \  kg/m^3

And this is mathematically represented as

      \rho_l  =  \frac{m}{V_l }

=>   m  =  \rho_l  *  V_l

Now the density of  gaseous nitrogen is

       \rho_n  =  \frac{m}{V_n }

=>   m  =  \rho_n  *  V_n

Given that the mass is constant

       \rho_n  *  V_n  =   \rho_l  *  V_l

        1.2929*  V_n  =   808  *  3.6*10^{-3}

=>   V_n  =  2.2498 \  m^3
