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.

Need help in knowing what energy it’s using
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

8:P.E,9:gaining K.E,10:P.E,11:gaining K.E.

Explanation:

it gained potential energy at 8 because it was at its maximum height,and since potential energy is the energy that u posses due to ur height,thats the energy it possesed on the spot 8.as you can see on spot 9 its moving down so as its moving down,it gains kinetic energy,since its an energy possesed by a body due to its motion/movement,thats what it gained at spot 9, it gsained kineti energy because of its movement.and at 10 agian it would gain potential energy ecause of height and on point 11 as its heading upwards it gains kinetic energy because of movement.

A girl drops a pebble from a high cliff into a lake far below. She sees the splash of the pebble hitting the water 2.00s later.
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

19.62 ms

Explanation:

t = Time taken = 2 s

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s² (downward direction is taken as positive)

Equation of motion

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v=0+9.81\times 2\\\Rightarrow v=19.62\ m/s

The speed of the pebble when it hit the water is 19.62 ms
