Two ice skaters stand together as illustrated in the attached figure. They "push off" and travel directly away from each other,

the boy with a velocity of v = +0.50 m/s. If the boy weighs 710 N and the girl 480 N, what is the girl's velocity in m/s after they push off? (Consider the ice to be frictionless.)

By definition, the momentum is given by:
 p = m * v
 Where,
 m = mass
 v = speed.
 On the other hand,
 F = m * a
 Where,
 m = mass
 a = acceleration:
 For the boy we have:
 p1 = m * v
 p1 = (F / a) * v
 p1 = ((710) / (9.81)) * (0.50)
 p1 = 36.19 Kg * (m / s)
 For the girl we have:
 p2 = m * v
 p2 = (F / a) * v
 p2 = ((480) / (9.81)) * (v)
 p2 = 48.93 * v Kg * (m / s)
 Then, we have:
 p1 + p2 = 0
 36.19 + 48.93 * v = 0
 Clearing v:
 v = - (36.19) / (48.93)
 v = -0.74 m / s (negative because the velocity is in the opposite direction of the boy's)
 Answer:
 the girl's velocity in m / s after they push off is -0.74 m / s

An engineer is designing a runway. She knows that a plane, starting at rest, needs to reach a speed of 180mph at take-off. If th
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

The plane would need to travel at least 8,\!580\; {\rm ft} (8.58 \times 10^{3}\; {\rm ft}.)

The 10,\!000\; {\rm ft} runway should be sufficient.

Explanation:

Convert unit of the the take-off velocity of this plane to \rm ft\cdot s^{-1}:

\begin{aligned}v &= 180\; {\rm mph} \\ &= 180\; {\rm mi \cdot hrs^{-1}} \times \frac{1\; {\rm hrs}}{3600\; {\rm s}} \times \frac{5280\; {\rm ft}}{1\; {\rm mi}} \\ &= 264\; {\rm ft \cdot s^{-1}}\end{aligned}.

Initial velocity of the plane: u = 0\; {\rm ft \cdot s^{-1}}.

Take-off velocity of the plane v =264\; {\rm ft\cdot s^{-1}}.

Let x denote the distance that the plane travelled along the runway. Since acceleration is constant but unknown, make use of the SUVAT equation x = ((u + v) / 2) \, t.

Notice that this equation does not require the value of acceleration. Rather, this equation make use of the fact that the distance travelled (under constant acceleration) is equal to duration t times average velocity (u + v) / 2.

The distance that the plane need to cover would be:

\begin{aligned}x &= \left(\frac{u + v}{2}\right)\, t \\ &= \frac{0\; {\rm ft \cdot s^{-1}} + 264\; {\rm ft \cdot s^{-1}}}{2} \times 65.0\; {\rm s} \\ &= 8.58\times 10^{3}\; {\rm ft}\end{aligned}.

A wire lying along a y axis form y=0 to y=0.25 m carries a current of 2.0 mA in the negative direction of the axis. The wire ful
balu736 [363]

Answer:

FB = 0.187 N

Explanation:

To find the magnetic force FB in the wire you use the following formula:

|\vec{F_B}|=ILBsin\theta\\\\L=0.25m\\\\|\vec{B}|=\sqrt{(0.3y)^2+(0.4y)^2}=0.5y \ T

the angle between B and L is given by:

\vec{L}\cdot\vec{B}=LBcos\theta\\\\\theta=cos^{-1}(\frac{\vec{L}\cdot\vec{B}}{LB})=cos^{-1}(\frac{0*0.3y+0.25*0.4y}{0.25*0.5y})=36.86\°

Due to B depends on "y" you take into account the contribution of each element dy of the wire to the magnitude of the magnetic force. Thus, you have to integrate the following expression:

|\vec{F_B}|=Isin\theta\int_0^{0.25}B(y)dy=Isin\theta\int_0^{0.25}(0.5y)dy\\\\|\vec{F_B}|=(2.0*10^{-3}A)(sin36.86\°)(0.5T)[\frac{0.25^2}{2}m]=0.187\ N

hence, the magnitude of the magnetic force is 0.187N

HELP!!!! WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!!!! IF YOU LEAVE AN ANSWER EXPLAIN! THANKS
Travka [436]

Answer:

the answer is C

Explanation:

we know this because if you compare the graphs and look at the direction. it isn't always in the explanation or the few sentences they gave you at the top. also, look at the waves, you can see in Davids drawing that it is directly straight up, A and B do not represent that. A isn't even a valid answer. Notice also in A that the arrow is going in the completely different direction than in Davids drawing. B is also going a different direction even though it is only turned a little bit although if it was straight up like Davids drawing then it would most likely be a correct answer. C does have one arrow going a different direction but look at how it has two, showing in which if the waves were to turn then the arrow is still valid
