Jack (mass 52.0 kg ) is sliding due east with speed 8.00 m/s on the surface of a frozen pond. he collides with jill (mass 49.0 k

g ), who is initially at rest. after the collision, jack is traveling at 5.00 m/s in a direction 34.0∘ north of east. ignore friction. part a what is the direction of the jill's velocity after the collision?

We must write down laws of conservation of momenta and energy. 
For the law of conservation of momenta will we will use two axes. One will be x-axis that will correspond to the east, and the other one will be y-axis corresponding to the north. Jack will be marked as 1 and Jill will be marked as 2.
Law of conservation of energy:
\frac{m_1v_1^2}{2}=\frac{m_1v'_1^2}{2}+ \frac{m_2v_2^2}{2}\\
m_2v_2^2=m_1v_1^2-m_1v_1'^2\\
v_2=\sqrt{\frac{m_1v_1^2-m_1v_1'^2}{m_2}
This will give us Jill's velocity after the colision.
v_2=6.43\frac{m}{s}
Law of conservation of momenta:
x: m_1v_1=m_1v_1'cos(34)+m_2v_2cos(\theta)\\
y: 0=m_1v_1'sin(34)-m_2v_2sin(\theta)\\
We will use the second equation to get the angle at which the Jill is traveling:
0=m_1v_1'sin(34)-m_2v_2sin(\theta)\\
m_2v_2sin(\theta)=m_1v_1'sin(34)\\
sin(\theta)=\frac{m_1v_1'sin(34)}{m_2v_2}\\
\theta=sin^{-1}(\frac{m_1v_1'sin(34)}{m_2v_2})
When we plug all the number we get:
\theta=27.45^\circ
Please note that this is the angle below the x-axis.

Set the radius to 2.0 m and the velocity to 1.0 m/s. Keeping the radius the same, record the magnitude of centripetal accelerati
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

a=4\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius, r = 2 m

Velocity, v = 1 m/s

We need to find the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration. The formula for the centripetal acceleration is given by :

a=\dfrac{v^2}{r}\\\\a=\dfrac{(2)^2}{1}\\\\=4\ m/s^2

So, the magnitude of centripetal acceleration is 4\ m/s^2.

What measurement do we use to determine the amount of force used to move an object by a simple machine
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

Newtons.

Explanation:

Force is given by the multiplication of mass and acceleration.

Mathematically, Force is;

F = ma

Where;

F represents force measured in Newton.

m represents the mass of an object measured in kilograms.

a represents acceleration measured in meter per seconds square.

Newtons is a measurement we use to determine the amount of force used to move an object by a simple machine. It is the International System of Units (SI) used to measure force and has a symbol of N.

Basically, it was named after Sir Isaac Newton based on his fundamental works in the field of mechanics (motions).

A 2.26 kg book is dropped from a height 1.5m what is its acceleration
Arada [10]
The answer is 9.8 ms^-2, because there is only one force acting on the object so the acceleration will be numerically equal to the gravitational field strength.
