Two skaters stand facing each other. One skater's mass is 60 kg, and the other's

jeyben [28]

Answer:

v' = 2.4 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of one skater, m = 60 kg

Mass of the other's skater, m' = 60 kg

The two skaters push off each other. After the push, the smaller skater has a velocity of 3.0 m/s.

When there is no external force acting on a system, the momentum remains conserved. It means initial momentum is equal to the final momentum. Let v' is the velocity of the larger skater.

mv = m'v'

$v'=\dfrac{mv}{m'}\\\\v'=\dfrac{60\times 3}{75}\\\\v'=2.4\ m/s$

So, the velocity of the larger skater is 2.4 m/s.

After each charging, a battery is able to hold only 99% of the charge from the previous charging. The battery was used for 5 hou

Aloiza [94]

Answer:

500 hours

Explanation:

The sum of total hours over its lifetime will be given by

$T=\frac {T_o}{1-r}$

Where T is total time, r is rate in decimal and To is the original charge hours. Substituting the original charge hours with 5 hours and rate as 0.99 then the time will be

$T=\frac {5\ hours}{1-0.88}=500\ hours$

Therefore, the time is equivalent to 500 hours

Energy is transferred through a solid

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Conduction is the transfer of thermal energy through direct contact between particles of a substance, without moving the particles to a new location. Usually occurs in solids. When heat is supplied to one end, molecules at that end start to move more quickly.

A mercury thermometer is constructed as

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

The change in height of the mercury is approximately 2.981 cm

Explanation:

Recall that the formula for thermal expansion in volume is:

$\frac{\Delta V}{V_0} =\alpha_V\, \Delta\, T\\\Delta V = V_0\,\, \alpha_V\,\,\Delta C$

from which we solved for the change in volume $\Delta V$ due to a given change in temperature $\Delta T$

We can estimate the initial volume of the mercury in the spherical bulb of diameter 0.24 cm ( radius R = 0.12 cm) using the formula for the volume of a sphere:

$V_0=\frac{4}{3} \pi \, R^3\\V_0=\frac{4}{3} \pi \, (0.12\,cm)^3\\V_0=0.007238\,cm^3$

Therefore, the change in volume with a change in temperature of 36°C becomes:

$\Delta V = V_0\,\, \alpha_V\,\,\Delta C\\\Delta V = 0.007238229\, cm^3\,(0.000182)\,(36)\\\Delta V=0.0000474248\, cm^3$

Now, we can use this difference in volume, to estimate the height of the cylinder of mercury with diameter 0.0045 cm (radius r= 0.00225 cm):

$V_{cyl}=\pi r^2\,h\\h =\frac{V_{cyl}}{\pi r^2} \\h=\frac{0.0000474248\, cm^3}{\pi \, (0.00225\,cm)^2} \\h=2.98188 \,cm$
