Kevin has a mass of 87 kg and is skating with in-line skates. He sees his 22-kg younger brother up ahead standing on the sidewal

k, with his back turned. Coming up from behind, he grabs his brother and rolls off at a speed of 2.4 m/s. Ignoring friction, find Kevin’s speed just before he grabbed his brother.

Answer:

$V_ k = 3 m/s$

Explanation:

Using the conservation of the linear momentum P:

$P_i = P_f$

so:

$M_kV_k = M_sV_s$

where $M_k$ is the mass of kevin, $V_k$ is the velocity of kevin before he grabs her brother, $M_s$ is the velocity of her brother and him after grabs her brother and $V_s$ is the velocity of both after the collition.

So, replacing the values and solving for Vk, we get:

$(87 kg)V_k = (87 kg+22 kg)(2.4m/s)$

$V_ k = 3 m/s$

A car moving in a straight line starts at x = 0 at t = 0 . It passes the point x = 30.0 m with a speed of 10.0 m/s at t = 3.00 s

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

a) $v=20.3m/s$

b) $a=2.35m/s^2$

Explanation:

From the exercise we know:

$x_{1}=30m$ ; $v_{1}=10m/s$ ; $t_{1}=3s$

$x_{2}=375m$ ; $v_{2}=50m/s$ ; $t_{2}=20s$

The formula for average velocity is:

$v=\frac{x_{2}-x_{1}}{t_{2}-t_{1}}$

a) $v=\frac{375m-30m}{20s-3s}=20.3m/s$

The formula for average acceleration is:

$a=\frac{v_{2}-v_{1}}{t_{2}-t_{1}}$

b) $a=\frac{(50-10)m/s}{(20-3)s}=2.35m/s^2$

Which explanation of the solar system best fits the observations of the planets and how they orbit the sun?Question options:The

diamong [38]

<h2>Answer: The planets formed at the center of a collapsing spinning cloud of gas and dust.</h2>

The most accepted theory so far, in relation to the formation of our solar system is that it was originated by the contraction of a cloud of interstellar gas due to its own gravity.

To understand it better:

According to this theory, a cloud of gas and interstellar dust began to shrink due to its own gravity. This led to the increase in the temperature of the system, which began to rotate forming a large gas sphere in the center (the Sun) with a flat disk around it.

This is how the Sun formed from the sphere in the center and the planets formed from the disk orbiting in the same plane.

An object with mass 80 kg moved in outer space. When it was at location <7, -34, -7> its speed was 14.0 m/s. A single cons

Sergio [31]

Answer:

W = -2080 J

Explanation:

initial position vector of the object is given as

$r_i = 7\hat i - 34\hat j - 7 \hat k$

similarly final position vector is given as

$r_f = 12\hat i - 42\hat j - 11\hat k$

now the displacement of the object is given as

$\vec d = \vec r_f - \vec r_i$

now we will have

$\vec d = (12\hat i - 42\hat j - 11\hat k) - (7\hat i - 34\hat j - 7 \hat k)$

$\vec d = 5\hat i - 8\hat j- 4\hat k$

now the force on the object is given as

$\vec F = (200\hat i + 460 \hat j - 150 \hat k)$

so here in order to find the work done

$W = \vec F . \vec d$

$W = (200\hat i + 460 \hat j - 150 \hat k). (5\hat i - 8\hat j- 4\hat k)$

$W = 1000 - 3680 + 600 = -2080 J$
