A 75 kg Spider Man running at 3.0 m/s jumps onto a trash can lid that has a mass of 10kg and that is already moving in the same

direction as Spiderman, at 2.0 m/s. What will be the final velocity of Spiderman and the lid assuming that the lid is on a level slick surface and that there is no friction?

In order to find the final velocity of the skier and the trash can lid, we may apply the principle of conservation of momentum, which states that the total momentum of a system remains constant. Mathematically, in this case:
m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = m₃v₃
Where m₃ and v₃ are the combined mass and velocity.

75*3 + 10*2 = (75 + 10)*v₃
v₃ = 2.88 m/s

The final velocity is 2.88 m/s

How can a heat pump warm a house by causing a refrigerant to evaporate and condense
sveta [45]
The hot discharge gas from the refrigerant compressor is normally cooled and condensed at high pressure. This is then passed through an 'Expansion' valve which decreases the pressure to a low level causing expansion of the refrigerant liquid. 
<span>The liquid partially vapourises causing a 'Joule's/Thompson' refrigeration effect' which decreases temperature of the refrigerant which then passes to an evaporator coil in the air circulation system of the building. </span>
<span>In the evaporator coil, the heat exchange between the cold refrigerant and the warm air of the building, vaporises and heats the refrigerant which returns to the compressor. </span>
<span>The cycle is repeated until the air temperature reaches the thermostat set-point and switches off the system. </span>

<span>As a Heat pump, the hot refrigerant gas is not evaporating and condensing. </span>
<span>From the compressor discharge, the hot gas is by-passing the cooler/condenser unit and the expansion valve and passes directly to the 'evaporator' coils but now, as the heating medium for the air circulation system where it's cooled by the heat exchange between the hot gas and the cooler air in the building and returns to the compressor in a continuous cycle. </span>

<span>A Thermostat in the system starts and stops the compressor motor according to the heat or cool temperature settings.</span>

What is the primary reason that astronomers put telescopes and other instruments above Earth's atmosphere?
katrin [286]
The main reason as to why those telescopes that are located above the Earth's atmosphere is because the atmosphere absorbs infrared light which comes from the sun and this affects the viewing done by the astronomers. That is why, this is considered as a great disadvantage for those ground-based telescopes. The answer would be the last option.

Which of the following statements concerning the electric field inside a conductor is true?
zvonat [6]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

The electric field inside a conductor is always zero if the charges inside the conductor are not moving.

Since the electron are not moving then they must be in electrostatic equilibrium which means the electric field inside the conductor is zero. if the electric field existed inside the conductor then there will be net force on all the electrons and the electrons will accelerate.
