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:

Solution given:

frequency[f]=x

velocity[V]=15000m/s

wave length=59m

we have

wave length=\frac{V}{f}

59m=\frac{15000}{x}

x=\frac{15000}{59}=254.Hz

frequency=254Hz

Lyrx [107]

Answer: Solid

Explanation: There are 3 major state of matter - solid, liquid and gas.

Among the 3 state, solid has a fixed volume while liquid takes the volume of its container. When gas is compressed, it takes the volume of its container likewise.

If the current in a wire increases from 5 A to 10 A, what happens to its magnetic field? If the distance of a charged particle f
dsp73

1. The magnitude of the magnetic field doubles

Explanation: the intensity of the magnetic field produced by a current-carrying wire is given by:

I=\frac{\mu_0 I}{2 \pi r}

where \mu_0 is the vacuum permeability, I is the current in the wire, r is the distance from the wire.

As we see from the formula, the intensity of the magnetic field is directly proportional to the current: if the current increases from 5 A to 10 A, it means it doubles, so the magnetic field doubles as well.

2. The magnitude of the magnetic field halves

Explanation: the intensity of the magnetic field produced by a current-carrying wire is given by:

I=\frac{\mu_0 I}{2 \pi r}

We see that the magnitude of the magnetic field is inversely proportional to the distance from the wire (r). In this case, the distance of the particle is changed from 10 cm to 20 cm, so it is doubled: therefore, the magnitude of the field will become half of the initial value.

3. The force reverses direction

Explanation: the force exerted on a charged particle in a magnetic field is:

F=qvB sin \theta

where q is the charge, v is the speed of the particle, B is the magnetic field intensity and \theta the angle between the direction of v and B. If the charge of the particle is switched from 2 µC to –2µC, the magnitude of the force does not change (because the absolute value of q does not change), however the charge q gets a negative sign (-), so the sign of the force changes and gets a negative sign too, so the force reverses direction.

The type of function that describes the amplitude of damped oscillatory motion is _______. The type of function that describes t
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

exponential

Explanation:

type of function that describes the amplitude of damped oscillatory motion is exponential because as we know that here function is

y = A × e^{\frac{-bt}{2m}}  × cos(ωt + ∅ )    ..................................... ( 1 )          

here function A × e^{\frac{-bt}{2m}}   is amplitude

as per equation ( 1 )it is exponential

so that we can say that amplitude of damped oscillatory motion is exponential
