A 65.8-kg person throws a 0.0413 kg snowball forward with a ground speed of 32.5 m/s. A second person, with a mass of 58.7 kg, c

atches the snowball. Both people are on skates. The first person is initially moving forward with a speed of 2.51 m/s, and the second person is initially at rest. (Disregard the friction between the skates and the ice.)
What are the velocities of the two people after the snowball is exchanged?

Answer:

v_{1} = 2.490\,\frac{m}{s}

v_{2} = 0.023\,\frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

The statement is described physically by means of the Principle of Momentum Conservation. Let assume that first person moves in the positive direction:

First Person

(65.8\,kg)\cdot (2.51\,\frac{m}{s}) = (65.8\,kg)\cdot v_{1} + (0.0413\,kg)\cdot (32.5\,\frac{m}{s} )

Second Person

(0.0413\,kg)\cdot (32.5\,\frac{m}{s})+(58.7\,kg)\cdot (0\,\frac{m}{s})=(0.0413\,kg+58.7\,kg)\cdot v_{2}

The final velocities of the two people after the snowball is exchanged is:

v_{1} = 2.490\,\frac{m}{s}

v_{2} = 0.023\,\frac{m}{s}

How is power defined? Question 4 options: the quantity of work accomplished the direction of the work the total distance an obje
GarryVolchara [31]

Power can be defined as the rate at which work is accomplished.

Option D is the correct answer.

<h3></h3><h3>Power </h3>

The work done by an object in a given time interval is called the power of that object.

Suppose an external force F is applied to any object for the time interval T seconds. Due to this external force, the object will perform some amount of work for the time T seconds. This work W done by the object for the time interval T seconds is called the power of that object.

Power can be defined in mathematical term which is given below.

P = \dfrac {W}{T} \;\rm Watts

Thus the power can also be defined as the work done by the object per unit time interval.

Hence we can conclude that option D is the correct answer.

To know more about power, follow the link given below.

A ball is thrown straight up with a speed of 30 m/s, and air resistance is negligible. How long does it take the ball to reach t
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

3 seconds

Explanation:

Applying,

Applying,

v = u±gt................ Equation 1

Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, t = time, g = acceleration due to gravity.

From the question,

Given: v = 0 m/s ( at the maximum height), u = 30 m/s

Constant: g = -10 m/s

Substitute these values into equation 1

0 = 30-10t

10t = 30

t = 30/10

t = 3 seconds

2.0 mol of monatomic gas A initially has 5000 J of thermal energy. It interacts with 3.0 mol of monatomic gas B, which initially
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

 E_particle = 1,129 10⁻²⁰ J / particle

  T= 817.5 K

Explanation:

Energy is a scalar quantity so it is additive, let's look for the total energy of each gas

Gas a

         E_a = 2 5000 = 10000 J

Gas b

         E_b = 3 8000 = 24000 J

When the total system energy is mixed it is

          E_total = E_a + E_b

          E_total = 10000 + 24000 = 34000

The total mass is

           M = m_a + m_b

           M = 2 +3 = 5

The average energy among the entire mass is

           E_averge = E_total / M

            E_averago = 34000/5

            E_average = 6800 J

One mole of matter has Avogadro's number of atoms 6,022 10²³ particles

Therefore, each particle has an energy of

                E_particle = E_averag / 6.022 10²³ = 6800 /6.022 10²³

                E_particle = 1,129 10⁻²⁰ J / particle

For  find the temperature let's use equation

               E = kT

               T = E / k

     

               T = 1,129 10⁻²⁰ / 1,381 10⁻²³

               T = 8.175 102 K

               T= 817.5 K

10. Hamilton How long does it take Lewis travelling at 156 m.p.h to cover 16 miles?
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer: Hello!

Lewis is travelling at 165 mph, which means miles per hour, this says that he does 165 miles in one hour.

We want to know how much time takes to cover 16 miles.

this can be calculated as the quotient of the distance and the velocity; this is:

t = \frac{16 mi}{165 mi/h} = 0.096 h

if we want to write this in minutes, then:

we know that one hour has 60 minutes, then 0.096 hours has:

0.096h*60mins/1h = 5.8 minutes.

then Lewis needs 5.8 minutes in order to cover 16 miles if his speed is 156 miles per hour.
