A 65kg person throws a 0.045kg snowball forward with a ground speed of 30m/s. A second person, with a mass of 60kg, catches the

snowball. Both people are on skates. The first person is initially moving forward with a speed of 2.5 m/s, and the second person is initially at rest. What are the velocities of the two people after the snowball is exchanged? Disregard friction between the skates and the ice.

Answer:

v₁ = 2.48m/s, v₂ = 0.02m/s

Explanation:

Momentum p must be conserved. p = mv

1) First person throwing the snow ball. The momentum before the throw:

p = (65kg + 0.045kg) * 2.5 m/s

The momentum after the throw:

p = 65kg * v₁ + 0.045kg * 30m/s

Solving for the velocity v₁ of person 1:

v₁ = ((65kg + 0.045kg) * 2.5 m/s - 0.045kg * 30m/s) / 65kg = 2.48m/s

2) Second person catching the ball. The momentum before the catch:

p = 0.045kg * 30m/s + 60kg * 0m/s

The momentum after the catch:

p = (60kg + 0.045kg) * v₂

Solving for velocity v₂ of person 2:

v₂ = 0.045kg * 30m/s / (60kg + 0.045kg) = 0.02 m/s

Andrea's near point is 20.0 cm and her far point is 2.0 m. Her contact lenses are designed so that she can see objects that are
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

the closest distance that she can see an object clearly when she wears her contacts is 22.2 cm

Explanation:

Given the data in the question,

near point = 20 cm

far point = 2 m = 200 cm

Now, for an object that is infinitely far away, the image is at is its far point.

so using the following expression, we can determine the focal length

1/f = 1/i + 1/o

where f is the focal length, i is the image distance and o is the object distance.

here, far point i = 2 m = 200 cm  and v is ∞

so we substitute

1/f = 1/(-200 cm)  +  1/∞

f = -200 cm

Also, for object at its closest point, the image appear at near point,

so

1/f = 1/i + 1/o

we make o the subject of formula

o = ( i × f ) / ( i - f )

given that near point i = 20 cm

we substitute

o = ( -20 × -200 ) / ( -20 - (-200) )

o = 4000 / 180

o = 22.2 cm

Therefore, the closest distance that she can see an object clearly when she wears her contacts is 22.2 cm

Suppose that Lisa walks her dog around the block for a little exercise. The block is 1 mile around. If she walks around the bloc
natita [175]
Displacement only measure how far between the starting and ending point. In this case, Lisa walks around the block as a circle so the starting point is the same as the ending point. Thus, displacement is 0mile.
On the other hand, distance measures exactly how far she walks. In this case, the distance is 1 mile, same as the perimeter of the block.
