A 61 kg skater is traveling at 2.5 m/s while carrying a 4.0 kg bowling ball. After he throws the bowling ball forward at twice t

hat speed, how fast will he be traveling?

The final velocity of the skater is 2.34 m/s forward

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of momentum. In fact, the total momentum of the system before and after the ball is thrown must be conserved, in absence of external forces.

Before the ball is thrown, the total momentum is:

$p_i = (M+m)u$

where

M = 61 kg is the mass of the skater

m = 4.0 kg is the mass of the ball

u = 2.5 m/s (forward) is the combined velocity of the skater and the ball

After, the ball is thrown at twice the velocity, so the final total momentum is

$p_f = MV+mv$

where

V is the final velocity of the skater

v = 2(2.5) = 5.0 is the final velocity of the ball

Since the total momentum must be conserved, we can write

$p_i = p_f\\(M+m)u = MV+mv\\V=\frac{(M+m)u-mv}{M}=\frac{(61+4.0)(2.5)-(4.0)(5.0)}{61}=2.34 m/s$

So, the skater is moving at 2.34 m/s (forward) after the shot.

Two loudspeakers emit 600 Hz Hz notes. One speaker sits on the ground. The other speaker is in the back of a pickup truck. You h

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

The truck's speed is 4.04 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Emit frequency = 600 Hz

Beat = 7.00 beat/sec

We need to calculate the truck's speed

Using formula of speed

$\text{frequency observed}=\text{frequency emitted}\times\dfrac{v}{v+v_{source}}$

Where, v = speed of sound

Put the value into the formula

$(600-7)=600\times(\dfrac{343}{343-v_{truck}})$

$v_{truck}=\dfrac{600\times343-593\times343}{593}$

$v_{truck}=4.04\ m/s$

Hence, The truck's speed is 4.04 m/s.

Which of the following statements about the nuclear strong force is true?

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer: 2, the nuclear strong force drops to practically nothing at large distances.

Explanation: The protons and neutrons in the nucleus share subatomic particles called pions. This exchange is what keeps the protons and neutrons stuck together in the nucleus. Despite the strong force being the strongest force, it has a very small range. This is because pions have very short lifespans. So, the strong force would have literally no effect at large distances.

Hope that helped! :)

Two spectators at a soccer game see, and a moment later hear, the ball being kicked on the playing field. The time delay for the

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

a)188.65m

b)154.35m

c)243.7m

Explanation:

Given data:

$t_A=0.55s$

$t_B=0.45s$

(a) The distance from the kicker to each of the 2 spectators is given by:

$d_A=v \times t_A$

where,

v= speed of sound

$t_A$ =time taken for the sound waves to reach the ears

$d_A=343\times 0.55=188.65$ m

(b) $d_B=v \times t_B$

where,

v= speed of sound

$t_B$ =time taken for the sound waves to reach the ears

$d_B=343\times 0.45=154.35m$

(c)As the angle b/w slight lines from the two spectators to the player is right angle,

hypotenuse=the distance b/w 2 spectators

and, the slight lines are the other 2 lines

$D^2=d_A^2+d_B^2\\D=\sqrt{188.65^2+154.35^2} \\D= 243.7m$

Jupiter's semimajor axis is 7.78×1011 m. The mass of the Sun is 1.99×1030 kg. (a) What is the period of Jupiter's orbit in secon

dedylja [7]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Semi major axis of the Jupiter, $a=7.78\times 10^{11}\ m$

Mass of the sun, $M=1.99\times 10^{30}\ kg$

(a) Let T is the period of Jupiter's orbit. It is given by :

$T^2\propto a^3$

$T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2}{GM}a^3$

$T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2}{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.99\times 10^{30}}\times (7.78\times 10^{11})^3$

$T=3.74\times 10^8\ s$

(b) We know that,

$1\ year=3.154\times 10^7\ s$

or

$1\ s=3.171\times 10^{-8}\ year$

$3.74\times 10^8\ s={3.171\times 10^{-8}}\times {3.74\times 10^8}$

T = 11.859 earth years

Hence, this is the required solution.
