A 60 kg boy and 40 kg girl stand on skateboards on a frictionless horizontal surface. The boy pushes the girl away from him. The

girl gains a speed of 0.3 m/s during the 0.50 s the boy's hands are in contact with her.
A. What will be the boy's speed after?


B. Assuming that in each case the girl achieved the same speed, would it matter whether the boy pushed the girl, the girl pushed the boy, or they put their hands together and pushed each other away?

Here in the above situation when boy pushes the girl there will be equal and opposite force on boy as per Newton's III law.

Due to this action reaction law boy will also go back with some speed.

Since there is no external force on this girl + boy system so we can use momentum conservation principle here.

As per momentum conservation

m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}

60*0 + 40*0 = 60*v_{1f} + 40*0.3

0 = 60*v_{1f}+ 12

v_{1f} = -0.2 m/s

So boy will go back with speed 0.2 m/s

Part b)

Since the boy and girl will always exert same force on each other by Newton's III law so it has no it matter whether the boy pushed the girl, the girl pushed the boy, or they put their hands together and pushed each other away.

As in all above cases the as per Newton's III law the force on them is always equal and opposite.

A long solenoid of radius 3 cm has 1100 turns per meter. If the solenoid carries a current of 1.5 A, then calculate the magnetic
Arada [10]

Answer:

The magnetic field at the center of the solenoid is 2.1  × 10⁻³ T

Explanation:

The magnetic field B at the center of the solenoid is given by

B = μ₀ni where μ₀ = permeability of free space = 4π × 10⁻⁷H/m, n = number of turns per unit length of the solenoid = 1100 turns per meter and i = current in the solenoid = 1.5 A.

So B = μ₀ni

= 4π × 10⁻⁷H/m × 1100 × 1.5 A

= 4π × 10⁻⁷H/m × 1650 A-turns/m

= 20734.5 × 10⁻⁷T  

= 2.07345 × 10⁻³ T

≅ 2.1  × 10⁻³ T

So the magnetic field at the center of the solenoid is 2.1  × 10⁻³ T

Name one situation in which you might notice the reflection of a wave
Lady bird [3.3K]

<u>Answer:</u>

A perfect example of wave reflection is an <u>echo</u>.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A wave reflection takes place when waves cannot pass through a surface and in turn they bounce back. It is not necessary that wave reflections can only happen with sound waves, they can also take place in light waves. Also, the waves which are reflected have the same frequency as the original wave, but their direction is different. When a wave strikes an object in the same angle, they bounce back straight but when they hit an object with different angle, their direction changes.

bazaltina [42]
<span>Answer: initial I = (m/2)L²/3 + (m/2)L² where L = ½ the length of the rod, and the vertical half can be treated as a point mass. initial I = mL²(1/6 + 1/2) = 2mL²/3 final I = m(2L)²/3 = 4mL²/3 Since I has doubled and momentum is conserved, ω has halved. ω = 3.9 rad/s. Formulaically: 2mL²/3 * 7.8rad/s = 4mL²/3 * ω</span>
