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.

Answer:

400 N

Explanation:

Change of Kinetic Energy to Friction Wok

∆KE = W

½ x m x (v(5)² - v(3)²) = f x d

½ x 500 x (5² - 3²) = f x 10

250 x (25 - 9) = f x 10

25 x 16 = f

f = 400 N

A heavy frog and a light frog jump straight up into the air. They push off in such away that they both have the same kinetic ene
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

The lighter frog goes higher than the heavier frog.

The lighter frog is moving faster than the heavier frog

Explanation:

If both frogs have the same kinetic energy when they leave the ground, the following equality applies:

K(light) = K(heavy) = \frac{1}{2} *ml*vol^{2} = \frac{1}{2}*mh*voh^{2}

Now, if the only force acting on the frogs is gravity, when they reach to the maximum height, we can apply the following kinematic equation:

vf^{2} -vo^{2} = 2*a*hmax = vf^{2} -vo^{2} = 2*(-g)*hmax

When h= hmax, the object comes momentarily to an stop, so vf =0

Solving for hmax:

hmax =\frac{vo^{2} }{2*g}

As the lighter frog, in order to have the same kinetic energy than the heavier one, has a greater initial velocity, it will go higher than the other.

As a consequence of both having the same kinetic energy, the lighter frog will be moving faster than the heavier frog.
