Two skaters, a man and a woman, are standing on ice. Neglect any friction between the skate blades and the ice. The mass of the

man is 95 kg, and the mass of the woman is 51 kg. The woman pushes on the man with a force of 60 N due east. Determine the acceleration (magnitude and direction) of (a) the man and (b) the woman

Answer:

a₁ = 0.63 m/s²  (East)

a₂ = -1.18 m/s²  (West)

Explanation:

m₁ = 95 Kg

m₂ = 51 Kg

F = 60 N

a₁ = ?

a₂ = ?

To get the acceleration (magnitude and direction) of the man we apply

∑Fx = m*a   (⇒)

F = m₁*a₁         ⇒      60 N = 95 Kg*a₁    

⇒  a₁ = (60N / 95Kg) = 0.63 m/s²  (⇒)  East

To get the acceleration (magnitude and direction) of the woman we apply

∑Fx = m*a   (⇒)

F = -m₂*a₂         ⇒      60 N = -51 Kg*a₂    

⇒  a₂ = (60N / 51Kg) = -1.18 m/s²  (West)

For every case we apply Newton’s 3 d Law

What is the weight of a 1-kilogram brick resting on a table?
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

The weight if the block is 10Newtons

Explanation:

The weight of any object is quantity of matter the object contains and it is always acting downwards on such body. This shows that the object is under the influence of gravity.

The weight of an object is calculated as mass of the object × its acceleration due to gravity

W = mg

Give the mass of the brick to be 1kg

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 10m/s²

Weight of the object = 1 × 10

= 10kgm/s² or 10Newtons

The efficiency of the scissor is 200%.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Efficiency is defined as the ratio of output of any instrument or device or machine to the input supplied to it. So the greater the output the greater will be the efficiency of the device.

As here the work done by us on the system is said to be 10 J so this will be equal to the input work done on the system. And the work done by the system i.e., the scissor is 20 J, so this will be the output work.

So, the efficiency is the ratio of output to input as shown below.

Efficiency = (\frac {20} {10} ) \times 100 = 200

So, the efficiency of the scissor is 200%.

A person is standing on and facing the front of a stationary skateboard while holding a construction brick. The mass of the pers
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

0.74 m/s

Explanation:

From the question,

We apply the law of conservation of momentum,

Total momentum before collision = Total momentum after collision.

Since the skateboard, the person and the brick where stationary, therefore, the total momentum before collision is 0

0 = Total momentum after collision

(m+M)V + m'v = 0

Where m = mass of the  skateboard, M = mass of the person, m' = mass of the brick, V = recoil velocity of the person and the skateboard, v =  velocity of the brick

make V the subject of the equation above

V = -m'v/(m+M)................... Equation 1

Given: m = 4.10 kg, M = 68.0 kg, m' = 2.50 kg, v = 21.0 m/s.

Substitute these values into equation 1

V = -(2.5×21)/(68+2.5)

V = 52.50/70.5

V = 0.74 m/s
