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.

If an object travels at a constant speed in a circular path, the acceleration of the object is:
Vilka [71]

Answer:

1- The acceleration of the object is larger in magnitude the smaller the radius of the circle.

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object in a circular path is

a = \frac{v^2}{r}

As can be seen from the equation, if the radius of the circle is decreases, the magnitude of the acceleration increases.

As for the direction of the acceleration, it is always towards the center, and it is always perpendicular to the direction of the velocity.
