After coming down a slope, a 60-kg skier is coasting northward on a level, snowy surface at a constant 15 m>s. Her 5.0-kg cat

, initially running southward at 3.8 m>s, leaps into her arms, and she catches it. (a) Determine the amount of kinetic energy converted to internal energy in the Earth reference frame. (b) What is the velocity, measured in the Earth reference frame, of an inertial reference frame in which the cat’s kinetic energy does not change?

To solve this exercise, it is necessary to apply the concepts of conservation of the moment especially in objects that experience an inelastic colposition.

They are expressed as,

m_1v_1+m_2v_2 = (m_1+m_2)v_f

Where,

m_1= mass of the skier

m_2= mass of the cat

v_1 = initial velocity of skier

v_2 = initial velocity of cat

v_f= final velocity of both

Re-arrange to find V_f we have,

V_f = \frac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2}{(m_1+m_2)}

V_f = \frac{(60)(15)+(5)(-3.8)}{(60+5)}

V_f = 13.55m/s

Once the final velocity is found it is possible to calculate the change in kinetic energy, so

\Delta KE = KE_i-KE_f

\Delta KE = \frac{1}{2}(m_1v_1^2+m_2v^2_2)-\frac{1}{2}(m_1+m_2)v_f^2

\Delta KE = \frac{1}{2}((60)(15)^2+(5)(-3.8)^2)-\frac{1}{2}(60+5)(13.55)^2

\Delta KE = 819.1J

Therefore the amount of kinetic energy converted in to internal energy is 819J

How does the carbon rod of a cell beomes a positive<br>terminal?​
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

In the middle of a dry cell, is a rod made of carbon. Around the carbon rod is a chemical paste. At the same time, the carbon rod becomes positively charged. When this happens, electrical current flows out of the cell when a conductor is attached between the cell's positive and negative terminals.

A tangent line drawn on a velocity-time graph has a rise of 19 m/s and a run of 4.0 m/s. How large is the acceleration? What typ
klemol [59]

Answer:

Acceleration = 4.8 m/s²

Explanation:

Given:

Change in velocity = 19 m/s

Change in time = 4 s

Find:

Acceleration

Computation:

Acceleration = Change in velocity / Change in time

Acceleration = 19/4

Acceleration = 4.8 m/s²

Positive acceleration

What is the wavelength of a wave that has a frequency of 841 Hz if the speed of the wave is 457 m/s?
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 0.54 m</h3>

Explanation:

The wavelength of a wave can be found by using the formula

\lambda =  \frac{c}{f}  \\

where

c is the velocity

f is the frequency

So we have

\lambda =  \frac{457}{841}  \\  = 0.543400713...

We have the final answer as

<h3>0.54 m</h3>

Hope this helps you
