wo skaters collide and embrace in an inelastic collision. Alex's mass is 90 kg and his initial velocity is 1.5 m/s i . Barbara's

mass is 57 kg and her initial velocity is 2.0 m/s j. After the collision, the two skaters move together at a common velocity. Use conservation of momentum to find their final speed. (Hint, find combined velocity vector first.)

Answer:

1.21 m/s

Explanation:

mass of Alex, mA = 90 kg

initial velocity of Alex, uA = 1.5 i m/s

mass of Barbara, mB = 57 kg

initial velocity of Barbara, uB = 2 j m/s

Let v is the velocity of combined mass after collision.

Use conservation of momentum

90\times 1.5\widehat{i}+57\times 2\widehat{j}=(90+57)\overrightarrow{v}

\overrightarrow{v} = 0.92\widehat{i}+0.78\widehat{j}

v=\sqrt{0.92^{2}+0.78^{2}}

v = 1.21 m/s

Thus, the velocity of combined mass is 1.21 m/s.

Answer:

The two skaters will move with a common speed of 1.19 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of Alex, m_1=90\ kg

Initial velocity of Alex, u_1=1.5i\ m/s

Mass of Barbara, m_2=57\ kg

Initial velocity of Barbara, u_2=2j\ m/s

After the collision, the two skaters move together at a common velocity. Let V is the common velocity. Using the conservation of momentum as :

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)V\\\\90\times 1.5i+57\times 2j=(90+57)V\\\\V=\dfrac{135i+114j}{147}\\\\V=\dfrac{135i}{147}+\dfrac{114j}{147}\\\\V=(0.91i+0.77j)\ m/s

Magnitude of final velocity:

|V|=\sqrt{0.91^2+0.77^2} \\\\|V|=1.19\ m/s

So, the two skaters will move with a common speed of 1.19 m/s.

The popular GPS devices that people use to find directions while driving use which type of satellite system?
inessss [21]

The popular GPS devices that people use to find directions while driving use "Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)".

<u>Explanation:</u>

The umbrella term for all global satellite tracking systems is GNSS i.e Global Satellite Navigation System. This involves satellite constellations circulating over the surface of the earth and continuous signal transmission that allow users to evaluate their location.

A satellite array of 18–30 medium Earth Orbit (MEO) satellites distributed across several orbital planes typically achieves greater coverage for each network. The specific systems differ, but use > 50 ° orbital inclinations and approximately twelve hours orbital cycles.

vovangra [49]
Earthquakes and volcanoes most commonly occur around plate boundaries because of the movement from the plate boundaries. The interactions between the plates by moving under, upon, or sliding against other boundaries may cause earthquakes and volcanoes.
