The lighter one travel with the speed of 0.574 m/sec. Force is defined as the product of mass and acceleration. Its unit is Newton.

<h3>What is force?</h3>

Force is defined as the push or pull applied to the body. Sometimes it is used to change the shape, size, and direction of the body.

The two skaters push off against each other on frictionless ice, then torque act by the one skater on the other is equal.

P₁₂=P₂₁

F₁₂V₁ =F₂₁V₂

625 ×V₁= 725 N×  1.5 m/s

V₁=0.574 m/sec

Hence, the lighter one travel with the speed of 0.574 m/sec.

A straight section of silver wire has a cross sectional area A=2.0 mm2. A total of 9.4×1018 electrons pass through the wire in 3
Sergio [31]

Answer:

8.08 x 10^-5 m

Explanation:

A = 2 mm^2 = 2 x 10^-6 m^2

Total number of electrons, N = 9.4 x 10^18

time, t = 3 s

n = 5.8 x 10^28 electrons/ m^3

Current, i = Q / t = N x e / t = (9.4 x 10^18 x 1.6 x 10^-19) / 3 = 0.5 A

Let vd be the drift velocity.

i = n e A vd

0.5 = 5.8 x 10^28 x 1.6 x 10^-19 x 2 x 10^-6 x vd

vd = 2.7 x 10^-5 m/s

Distance traveled by the electrons = velocity x time

                                                          = vd x t = 2.7 x 10^-5 x 3 = 8.08 x 10^-5 m

A ball is dropped from rest at point O . It passes a window with height 3.8 m in time interval tAB = 0.02 s.Identify the correct
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

VB − VA = g tAB   &   (VA + VB)/2 = h / tAB

Explanation:

s = h = Displacement

tAB = t = Time taken

VA = u = Initial velocity

VB = v = Final velocity

a = g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow u=\frac{s-\frac{1}{2}at^2}{t}\\\Rightarrow u=\frac{3.8-\frac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times 0.02^2}{0.02}\\\Rightarrow u=189.902\ m/s

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v=189.902+9.8\times 0.02\\\Rightarrow v=190.098\ m/s

\frac{v+u}{2}=\frac{190.098+189.902}{2}=190\ s

\frac{h}{t}=\frac{3.8}{0.02}=190\ s

Hence, the equations VB − VA = g tAB   &   (VA + VB)/2 = h / tAB will be used

How tall would a tower need to be if the period of a pendulum were 30. seconds
Virty [35]
We use the following expression

T = 2*pi *sqrt(l/g)

Where T is the period of the pendulum

l is the length of the pendulum

and g the acceleration of gravity

We solve for l

l = [T/2*pi]² *g = [30s/2*pi]²* 9.8 [m/s²] = 223.413 m

The tower would need to be at least 223.413 m high

Bright white shadings on infrared images indicate cloud tops that have relatively ________ temperatures
Maru [420]
Infrared is created by detecting the produced radiation coming off of clouds. The temperature of the cloud will define the wavelength of radiation produced from the cloud. The benefit of the infrared imagery is that can be used day and night to conclude the temperature of the cloud tops and earth surface structures and to get the general idea of how clouds are. Based on the general guidelines to define cloud features, if the cloud is bright white on infrared then it is a high cloud or has a cloud top that is developed high into the troposphere. In this way infrared images actually display patterns of temperature on a gray scale such that at one extreme dark gray is warm and at the other extreme bright white is cold. A color scale is used to portray temperature and some improved infrared images show two or more gray scale sequences. High cold clouds are brighter white than low warm clouds.
