Two ice skaters, each with a mass of 72.0 kg, are skating at 5.45 m/s when they collide and stick together. If the angle between

their initial directions was 105°, determine the components of their combined velocity (in m/s) after the collision. (Let the initial motion of skater 1 be in the positive x-direction and the initial motion of skater 2 be at an angle of 105°measured counterclockwise from the positive x-axis.) vx, f = ___________ m/s vy, f = ___________ m/s

Answer:

The skater 1 and skater 2 have a final speed of 2.02m/s and 2.63m/s respectively.

Explanation:

To solve the problem it is necessary to go back to the theory of conservation of momentum, specifically in relation to the collision of bodies. In this case both have different addresses, consideration that will be understood later.

By definition it is known that the conservation of the moment is given by:

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v_f

Our values are given by,

m_1=m_2=72Kg

As the skater 1 run in x direction, there is not component in Y direction. Then,

Skate 1:

v_{x1}=5.45m/s

v_{y1}=0

Skate 2:

v_{x2} = 5.45*cos105= -1.41m/s

v_{y2} = 5.45*sin105 = 5.26m/s

Then, if we applying the formula in X direction:

m_1v_{x1}+m_2v_{x2}=(m_1+m_2)v_{fx}

75*5.45-75*1.41=(75+75)v_{fx}

Re-arrange and solving for v_{fx}

v_{fx}=\frac{4.04}{2}

v_{fx}=2.02m/s

Now applying the formula in Y direction:

m_1v_{y1}+m_2v_{y2}=(m_1+m_2)v_{fy}

0+75*5.25=(75+75)v_{fy}

v_{fy}=\frac{5.25}{2}

v_{fy}=2.63m/s

Therefore the skater 1 and skater 2 have a final speed of 2.02m/s and 2.63m/s respectively.

Is a measure of how closely packed together the particles of matter are in a specific volume
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

Density is an important physical property of matter. It reflects how closely packed the particles of matter are. When particles are packed together more tightly, matter has greater density.

A 3.0 kg box is sliding along a frictionless horizontal surface with a speed of 1.8 m/s when it encounters a spring. (a) Determi
krok68 [10]

Answer:

a) k = 2231.40 N/m

b) v = 0.491 m/s

Explanation:

Let k be the spring force constant , x be the compression displacement of the spring and v be the speed of the box.

when the box encounters the spring, all the energy of the box is kinetic energy:

the energy relationship between the box and the spring is given by:

1/2(m)×(v^2) = 1/2(k)×(x^2)

    (m)×(v^2) = (k)×(x^2)

a) (m)×(v^2) = (k)×(x^2)

                 k = [(m)×(v^2)]/(x^2)

                 k = [(3)×((1.8)^2)]/((6.6×10^-2)^2)

                 k = 2231.40 N/m

Therefore, the force spring constant is 2231.40 N/m

b) (m)×(v^2) = (k)×(x^2)

             v^2 = [(k)(x^2)]/m

                 v =  \sqrt{ [(k)(x^2)]/m}

                 v = \sqrt{ [(2231.40)((1.8×10^-2)^2)]/(3)}

                    = 0.491 m/s

Suppose we could shrink the Earth without changing its mass. At what fraction of its current radius would the free-fall accelera
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

R' = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}R

Explanation:

The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Earth is given by:

g=\frac{GM}{R^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the mass of the Earth

R is the radius of the Earth

Here we want to find the new Earth radius R' for which the gravitational acceleration at the surface, g', would be 3 times the current value of g:

g' = 3g

So we would have

\frac{GM}{R'^2}=3(\frac{GM}{R^2})

Solving the equation for R', we find

R'^2 = \frac{1}{3}R^2\\R' = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}R
