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.

In which case would electrical potential energy be built up and stored in the electric field? a) A positive charge is moved towa
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

The correct option is B

Explanation:

Although, it is common knowledge that in an electric field, unlike charges attract and like charges repel. However, to build up an electric potential, a positive charge is brought close to another positive charge - this causes work done to be changed to electric potential energy and stored in the electric field.

It should however be noted that when a negative charge is moved away from a positive charge, the negative charge gains electric potential energy.

What is the mani difference between kentic energy and potential energy
AlekseyPX
Kinetic energy is stored energy that is released, for example, a fast-moving roller coaster down a slope. Potential energy is energy that has stored energy, for example, a stretched rubber band.

Como un astronauta utiliza la fuerza de hallar y empujar?
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

La única manera en que nuestro astronauta sería capaz de empujar la nave espacial en el espacio sin alejarse sería usar algo llamado "unidad de propulsión de astronauta". Supongamos que el astronauta está usando un SPK soviético, el sistema de cohetes mochila más poderoso jamás utilizado en el espacio.

Give reasons.
Yanka [14]
A. A stretched catapult can do work when released so it must have potential energy.

b. A stone on the ground will not move on its own ever again so it has zero energy.

c. In order to roll an object there must be a friction force between the object and the ground (otherwise it will slide)

d. To lift a stone you must overcome the weight which is the force due to gravity.

e. Work and energy are both measured in Joules.
