On an ice skating rink, a girl of mass 50 kg stands stationary, face to face with a boy of mass 80 kg. The children push off of

one another, and the boy moves away with a velocity of +3 m/s. What is the final velocity of the girl?
–1.9 m/s
+1.9 m/s
–4.8 m/s
+4.8 m/s

Use conservation of momentum.

Initial momentum = 0

Final momentum = momentum of the girl + momentum of the boy = inifial momentum = 0.

Momentum of the girl = - momentum of the boy

mass of the girl * velocity of the girl = - mass of the boy * velocity of the boy

50 kg * velocity of the girl = - 80 kg * 3m/s

=> velocity of the girls = -80 kg * 3m/s / 50 kg = - 4.8 m/s

Answer: - 4.8 m/s

A vertical spring with stiffness k originally is at rest with no mass attached. Then, a mass M is attached, and the spring rocks
Alina [70]

Answer:

The position of the spring in terms of g, m & k is x = \frac{m g}{k}

Explanation:

Stiffness of the spring = k

Mass = m

When a mass m is attached with the spring then spring stretched. in that case the force exerted on the spring is equal to weight of the mass attached.

⇒ Force exerted on the spring F = k x

⇒ m g = k x

⇒ x = \frac{m g}{k}

This is the position of the spring in terms of g, m & k.

Nikolas had an idea that he could use the compressed carbon dioxide in a fire extinguisher to propel him on his skateboard.
Vikentia [17]
The Newton’s law Nikolas would use to come up with this idea is the <span>Third law that states:

</span><span>When one body exerts a force on a second body, the second body simultaneously exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction on the first body.
</span>
So, in this case, let's name the first Body A which is the skateboard and the second body B which is <span>the compressed carbon dioxide in a fire extinguisher. Then, as shown in the figure below, according to the Third law:

</span>FA = -FB<span>

When you have two like charges in a line â where is the electric field the greatest? is there ever a point where the field will
Vesna [10]

The magnitude of the electric field will be the greatest at the point where it is closest,to its charges.

Yes ,there is a point where the field will be zero.

what is an electric field?

The region where an electrostatic force is experienced by a charged entity is known as the electric field at a point.

As per the principle of field lines and vectors,where the field lines are in a close manner together,the field will be strongest.However ,where the field lines are in a manner apart,the field will be the weakest.

As per the concept,the electric field will be the greatest at the point where it is closest to its charges.For like charges, the electric field will be zero closer to the smaller charge and will be along the line joining the two charges. For opposite charges of equal magnitude, there will not be any zero electric fields.

Thus,we can conclude that there will be a point where the electric field is zero

light waves are first transmitted through the ________ at the front of the eye and enter an opening called the ________ before s
viva [34]

The transmission of light waves is usually done through cornea of the eyes, then move through another opening which is regarded as pupil before it will get to the retina.

  • Light waves can be regarded as moving energy which contains microscopic particles known as photons.
  • The vision of the eye can be completed through the light wave passing through the components of the eyes and this process goes thus;
  • Light will move through the (cornea) which is situated at the front area of the eyes into lens.
  • Then both the cornea and the lens give room for the focusing of the light rays to the retina which is situated at the back of the eye .
  • Then through the help of the cells in the retina, the light will be absorbed and then be converted to  electrochemical impulses and then transfer it to the brain as well as optic nerve.

Therefore, light wave are form of tiny microscopic particles.
