Jack (mass 55.0 kg) is sliding due east with speed 8.00 m>s on the surface of a frozen pond. he collides with jill (mass 48.0

kg), who is initially at rest. after the collision, jack is traveling at 5.00 m>s in a direction 34.0° north of east. what is jill's velocity (magnitude and direction) after the collision? ignore friction

<span>Jill will have an angle of 36.0° south of east with a velocity of 5.46 m/s This problem deals with the conservation of momentum. The momentum before and after the collision will remain constant and is a vector quantity. So let's calculate the momentum before the collision. 55.0 kg * 8.00 m/s = 440 kg*m/s So we have a vector with a magnitude of 440 kg*m/s and an angle of 0° before the collision. After the collision, we have Jack's vector being 55.0 kg * 5.00 m/s = 275 kg*m/s So his new vector has a magnitude of 275 kg*m/s and an angle of 34.0° So what we have is a side angle side (SAS configuration of a triangle where one side has a length of 440, the other side has a length of 275 and the included angle is 34.0°. We need to calculate the length of the opposite side. Using the law of cosines, we have c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab cos(C) Substituting known values gives. c^2 = 440^2 + 275^2 - 2*440*275*cos(34) c^2 = 193600 + 75625 - 242000*0.829037573 c^2 = 269225 - 200627.0926 c^2 = 68597.90744 c = 261.9120223 So the magnitude of Jill's momentum will be 261.912 kg*m/s. And dividing by her mass, gives us a velocity of 261.912 kg*m/s / 48.0 kg = 5.4565 m/s Her angle will be south of due east. The measurement of the angle will be the same as the angle opposite to the side of length 275. And using the law of sines, we get sin(34.0)/261.9120223 = sin(X)/275 0.559192903/261.9120223 = sin(X)/275 0.002135041 = sin(X)/275 0.587136272 = sin(X) 35.95405166 = X So Jill will have an angle of 36.0° south of east with a velocity of 5.46 m/s</span>

True or false: objects fall toward earth at a rate of 9.8 m/s because of centripetal force.
Citrus2011 [14]
Sadly, no. The statement kind of has some appropriate words in it, but it's badly corrupted. Objects don't fall to Earth at a rate of 9.8 m/s, and the force that accelerates them downward is not a centripetal one.

Two electrically opposite charges are separated by a fixed distance. Which action will provide the greatest increase in the forc
Alex73 [517]

Explanation:

The electric force between charges is given by the formula as follows :

F=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}

k is electrostatic constant

r is distance between charges

Here, charges are equal and opposite. So,

F=\dfrac{kq^2}{r^2}

It is clear the force is inversely proportional to the distance between charges and directly proportional to the product of charges. So, greatest force will be providing by :

  • Increasing the magnitude of charges
  • Decreasing the distance between charges.

What forces must be balanced in the Bohr model?
Solnce55 [7]
The correct answer is:
<span>A. electron attraction between electron and nucleus = centripetal force of the orbiting electron

In fact, Bohr model depicts the atom as a nucleus surrounded by electrons in circular orbit around it, similar to the planets around the Sun. The centripetal force that keeps the electrons in circular motion around the nucles is provided by the electrostatic force between the electrons and the nucleus, so option A is the correct one.</span>
