Answer:

2000 N

1600 N

Explanation:

Step 1:

It is given that the bear's weight is 2000 N and it slides down the tree with constant velocity. Since it is sliding with constant velocity the overall force on the bear is zero. The weight of the bear acting downward balances the upward force caused due to friction. Hence the upward force equals the weight 2000 N.

Step 2:

It is given that the bear slides down with an acceleration 2 m/sec sq

Weight of the bear = 2000 N

Mass of the bear = 2000/10 (taking g = 10 m/sec sq)=200 kg

Force = Mass * Acceleration

Hence net force acting downward = 200*2=400 N.

Net force = Weight of bear - Force acting upward on the bear

400 = 2000 - Force acting upward on the bear

Force on the bear acting upward = 2000 - 400 = 1600 N

Two ice skaters stand in the middle of an ice rink. Drew has a mass of 75 kg, and Lily has a mass of 55 kg. Drew holds Lily, and

ss7ja [257]

PART a)

Before Drew throw Lily in forwards direction they both stays at rest

So initial speed of both of them is zero

So here we can say that initial momentum of both of them is zero

So total momentum of the system initially = ZERO

PART b)

Since there is no external force on the system of two

so there will be no change in the momentum of this system and it will remain same as initial momentum

So final momentum of both of them will be ZERO

PART c)

As we know that momentum of both will be zero always

so we have

$P_1 + P_2 = 0$

$75(v) + 55(2) = 0$

$v = 1.47 m/s$ in opposite direction
