Two ice skaters approach each other at right angles. Skater A has a mass of 32.7 kg and travels in the x direction at 2.3 m/s. S

kater B has a mass of 93.3 kg and is moving in the y direction at 1.51 m/s. They collide and cling together. Find the final speed of the couple. Answer in units of m/s.

Answer:

Final speed, v = 1.25 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of skater A, m_A=32.7\ kg

Initial speed of skater A, u_A=2.3i\ m/s (x axis)

Mass of skater B, m_B=93.3\ kg

Initial speed of skater B, u_B=1.51j\ m/s (y axis)

It is mentioned that the two skaters collide and cling together. It is case of inelastic collision in which momentum remains conserved. Let V is the final speed of the couple. It is given by :

m_Au_A+m_Bu_B=(m_A+m_B)V

32.7\times 2.3i+93.3\times 1.51j=(32.7+93.3)V

V=\dfrac{75.21i+140.88j}{126}

V=(0.59i+1.11j)\ m/s

|V|=1.25\ m/s

So, the final speed of the couple is 1.25 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

What is the advantage in solving motion problems using energy conservation principles instead of free body diagrams
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

However, the disadvantages are:

1. Many atimes for some motion prolems, free-body diagrams has to be drawn many times so to have enough equations to solve for the unknowns. This is not the same with energy conservation principles.

2. In situations where we need to find the internal forces acting on an object, we can't truly solve such problems using free-body diagram as it captures external forces. This is not the same with energy conservation principles.

Explanation:

Often times the ideal method to use in solving motion problem related questions are mostly debated.

Energy conservation principles applies to isolated systems are useful when object changes their positions in moving upward or downward converts its potential energy due to gravity for kinetic energy, or the other way round. When energy in a system or motion remains constant that is energy is neither created nor destroyed, it can therefore be easier to calculate other unknown paramters like in the motion problem velocity, distance bearing it in mind that energy can only change from one type to another.

On the other hand, free body diagram which is a visual representation of all the forces acting on an object including their directions has so many advantages in solving motion related problems which include finding relationship between force and motion in identifying the force acting on a body.

A net force of 20 N acting on a wooden block produces an
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

From the second law of motion:

F = ma

we are given that the force applied on the block is 20N and the block accelerates at an acceleration of 4 m/s/s

So, F=  20N   and  a = 4 m/s/s

Replacing the variables in the equation:

20 = 4* m

m = 20 / 4

m = 5 kg

A drone flies 8 m/s due East with respects to the wind. The wind is blowing 6 m/s due North with respects to the ground. What is
vekshin1

Answer:

B. 10m/s

Explanation:

If a drone flies 8 m/s due East with respects to the wind and the wind is blowing 6 m/s due North, the speed of the drone with respect to the ground is its displacement.

Displacement is calculated using Pythagoras theorem.

d² = 8²+6²

d² = 64+36

d² = 100

Square root both sides

√d² = √100

d = 10m/s

Hence the distance of the drone with respect to the ground is 10m/s

Option B is correct
