You run a race with your friend. At first you each have the same kinetic energy, but then you find that she is beating you. When

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

52.49 Kg

Explanation:

Let m1 and v1 denote your mass and velocity respectively

Let m2 and v2 denote your friends mass and velocity respectively

Kinetic energy is given by

$KE= 0.5mv^{2}$

Since your kinetic energies are the same hence

$0.5m1(v1)^{2}=0.5m2(v2)^{2}$

$m1(v1)^{2}=m2(v2)^{2}$ and making m2 the subject then

$m2=\frac { m1(v1)^{2}}{(v2)^{2}}$

Since v2 is v1+0.28v1=1.28v1

Substituting m1 for 86 Kg

$m2=\frac { 86 Kg(v1)^{2}}{(1.28v1)^{2}}= 52.49023\approx 52.49 Kg$

a 45 kg ice skater initially skating at a velocity of 3 m/s speeds up to a velocity of 5 m/s. calculate the difference in the ma

ad-work [718]

Answer: 90 kgm/s

Explanation:

The momentum (linear momentum) $p$ is given by the following equation:

$p=m.V$

Where:

$m=45 kg$ is the mass of the skater

$V$ is the velocity

In this situation the skater has two values of momentum:

Initial momentum: $p_{1}=m.V_{1}$

Final momentum: $p_{2}=m.V_{2}$

Where:

$V_{1}=3 m/s$

$V_{1}=5 m/s$

So, if we want to calculate the difference in the magnitude of the skater's momentum, we have to write the following equation(assuming the mass of the skater remains constant):

$p=p_{2}-p_{1}=m.V_{2}-m.V_{1}$

$p=m(V_{2}-V_{1})$

$p=45 kg(5 m/s - 3 m/s)$

Finally:

$p=90 kgm/s$

A person using an oxygen mask is breathing air that is 33% oxygen. what is the partial pressure of the o2, when the air pressure

yawa3891 [41]

The partial pressure of the O2 is 36.3 kiloPascal when the air pressure in the mask is 110 kiloPascal based on the isotherm relation. This problem can be solved by using the isotherm relation equation which stated as Vx/Vtot = px/ptot, where V represents volume, p represents the pressure, x represents the partial gas, and tot represents the total gas<span>. Calculation: 33/100 = px/110 --> px = 36.3</span>
