Answer:
0.338125 m/s
Explanation:
Applying,
Law of conservation of momentum
m'v' = mv............ Equation 1
Where m' = mass of the first skater, v' = velocity of the first skater, m = mass of the second skater, v = velocity of the second skater.
make v the subject of the equation
v = m'v'/m........... Equation 2
From the question,
Given: m' = 54.1 kg, v' = 0.375 m/s, m = 60 kg
Substitute these values into equation
v = (54.1×0.375)/60
v = 20.2875/60
v = 0.338125 m/s
I hope it is clearly visible.. Velocity of the center of mass of 2-ball system is - 11.54m/s. Minus indicates, velocity direction is in downward direction.
The molecules of ice stick together in the process of cohesion. They are tightly packed so there isn't much room to move. Liquid water is a looser hold. The molecules can go past one another, and they will take the shape of whatever container they occupy. Water vapor is loosely contained, and it will will fill whatever container it is kept in, and it will take its shape, too.
