Two ice skaters suddenly push off against one another starting from a stationary position. The 45-kg skater acquires a speed of

Answer:

Speed does the 60-kg skater acquire relative to the ice = 0.281 m/s

Explanation:

Momentum is conserved in this case.

Initial momentum = Final momentum.

Initial momentum = Initial momentum of skater 1 + Initial momentum of skater 2

Initial momentum = 45 x 0 + 60 x 0 = 0 kg m/s

Final momentum = 45 x 0.375 + 60 x u = 16.875 + 60 u

Here we need to find u.

We have

                  0 = 16.875 + 60 u

                   u = -0.281 m/s

Speed does the 60-kg skater acquire relative to the ice = 0.281 m/s

In an RLC series circuit that includes a source of alternating current operating at fixed frequency and voltage, the resistance
maw [93]

Answer:

Capacitive Reactance is 4 times of resistance

Solution:

As per the question:

R = X_{L} = j\omega L = 2\pi fL

where

R = resistance

X_{L} = Inductive Reactance

f = fixed frequency

Now,

For a parallel plate capacitor, capacitance, C:

C = \frac{\epsilon_{o}A}{x}

where

x = separation between the parallel plates

Thus

C ∝ \frac{1}{x}

Now, if the distance reduces to one-third:

Capacitance becomes 3 times of the initial capacitace, i.e., x' = 3x, then C' = 3C and hence Current, I becomes 3I.

Also,

Z = \sqrt{R^{2} + (X_{L} - X_{C})^{2}}

Also,

Z ∝ I

Therefore,

\frac{Z}{I} = \frac{Z'}{I'}

\frac{\sqrt{R^{2} + (R - X_{C})^{2}}}{3I} = \frac{\sqrt{R^{2} + (R - \frac{X_{C}}{3})^{2}}}{I}

{R^{2} + (R - X_{C})^{2}} = 9({R^{2} + (R - \frac{X_{C}}{3})^{2}})

{R^{2} + R^{2} + X_{C}^{2} - 2RX_{C} = 9({R^{2} + R^{2} + \frac{X_{C}^{2}}{9} - 2RX_{C})

Solving the above eqn:

X_{C} = 4R

A 800 kg safe is 2.1 m above a heavy-duty spring when the rope holding the safe breaks. The safe hits the spring and compresses
stellarik [79]

Answer:

k = 17043.5 N/m = 17.04 KN/m

Explanation:

First we need to find the force applied by safe pn the spring:

F = Weight of Safe

F = mg

where,

F = Force Applied by the safe on the spring = ?

m = mass of safe = 800 kg

g = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

F = (800 kg)(9.8 m/s²)

F = 7840 N

Now, using Hooke's Law:

F = kΔx

where,

K = Spring Constant = ?

Δx = compression = 46 cm = 0.46 m

Therefore,

7840 N = k (0.46 m)

k = 7840 N/0.46 m

<u>k = 17043.5 N/m = 17.04 KN/m</u>

An imaginary line perpendicular to a reflecting surface is called ____refrac_____.
umka2103 [35]
Not totally sure but i would say a normal? its not refraction or incidence if its perpendicular and i dont think its a mirror if its an imaginary line so yeah normal (normals are always perpendicular to their surface too i think so)
