2) Two ice skaters have masses m1 and m2 and are initially stationary. Their skates are identical. They push against one another

and move in opposite directions with different speeds. While they are pushing against each other, any kinetic frictional forces acting on their skates can be ignored. However, once the skaters separate, kinetic frictional forces eventually bring them to a halt. As they glide to a halt, the magnitudes of their accelerations are equal, and skater 1 glides twice as far as skater 2. What is the ratio m1/m2 of their masses

Answer:

m_1 / m_2 = sqrt (1 / 2)

Explanation:

Given:

- Initial velocity of both skaters V_i = 0

- Velocity of skater 1 after push = V_1

- Velocity of skater  after push = V_2

- Distance traveled by skater 1 = s_1

- Distance traveled by skater 2 = s_2

- s_1 = 2*s_2

- Accelerations of both skaters to halt is equal

Find:

What is the ratio m1/m2 of their masses

Solution:

- Apply conservation of momentum for two skaters just before and after the push as follows:

                                              P_i = P_f

                                  0 = m_1*V_1 - m_2*V_2

- Evaluate:                 m_1 / m_2 = ( V_2 / V_1 )

- Apply Conservation of Energy on both skaters as follows:

- Skater 1:

                               0.5*m_1*V_1^2 = u_k*m_1*g*s_1

-Simplify:                      0.5*V_1^2 = u_k*g*(2*s_2)

- Skater 2:

                               0.5*m_2*V_2^2 = u_k*m_2*g*s_2

-Simplify:                      0.5*V_2^2 = u_k*g*s_2

- Divide the two energy equations for skaters:

                                    (V_1 / V_2)^2 = 2

                                    (V_2 / V_1)^2 = 1 / 2

- simplify:                     (V_2 / V_1) = sqrt (1 / 2)

-Hence from earlier momentum conservation results:

                                  m_1 / m_2 = ( V_2 / V_1 ) = sqrt (1 / 2)

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

1.Fluorine is having 7 number of electrons and 1 makes bond.

     Electronic configuration  -  1S² 2S² 2P⁵  

    1 electron need to get in stable states 2P⁶.

2.Oxygen is having 6 balance electron and 2 makes bonds.

    Electronic configuration  -  1S² 2S² 2P⁴  

   2 electron need to get in stable states 2P⁶.

3.Nitrogen is having 5 balance electron and 3 makes bonds.

    Electronic configuration  -  1S² 2S² 2P³

    3 electron need to get in stable states 2P⁶.

4. Carbon having 4 balance electron and 4  makes bonds.

    Electronic configuration  -  1S² 2S² 2P²

     4 electron need to get in stable states 2P⁶.

What line in the sky is created by our revolution around the Sun?
faust18 [17]

Answer:

Ecliptic

Explanation:

You asked for the term that is used to describe Earth going around the sun

The ecliptic is the path the sun, moon, and planets take across the sky as seen from Earth. It best defines the plane of the Earth's orbit around the sun. The imaginary line can best be visualized in the days just before full moon.

Can a cyclic group have more than one generator
AleksandrR [38]
A cyclic, or not, group can have lots of sets of generators with different cardinalities, a cyclic group is characterized for having a generator set with 1 single element. A generator for a cyclic group and any other element will also be a generator set.

Four copper wires of equal length are connected in series. Their cross-sectional areas are 1.6 cm2 , 1.2 cm2 , 4.4 cm2 , and 7 c
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

63.8 V

Explanation:

We are given that

A_1=1.6 cm^2=1.6\times 10^{-4} m^2

1 cm^2=10^{-4} m^2

A_2=1.2 cm^2=1.2\times 10^{-4} m^2

A_3=4.4 cm^2=4.4\times 10^{-4} m^2

A_4=7 cm^2=7\times 10^{-4} m^2

Potential difference,V=140 V

We know that

R=\frac{\rho l}{A}

According to question

l_1=l_2=l_3=l_4=l

In series

R=R_1+R_2+R_3+R_4

R=\rho l(\frac{1}{A_1}+\frac{1}{A_2}+\frac{1}{A_3}+\frac{1}{A_4})

R=\rho l(\frac{1}{1.6\times 10^{-4}}+\frac{1}{1.2\times 10^{-4}}+\frac{1}{4.4\times 10^{-4}}+\frac{1}{7\times 10^{-4}})

R=\rho l(18284.6)

I=\frac{V}{R}=\frac{140}{\rho l\times 18284.6}

Potential across 1.2 square cm=V_1=IR_1=\frac{140}{\rho l\times 18284.6}\times \rho l(\frac{1}{1.2\times 10^{-4}}=63.8 V

Hence, the voltage across the 1.2 square cm wire=63.8 V
