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

Answer:

a) a= \frac{4 \pi^2 (0.02 m)^2}{0.00162 s}=9.74 \frac{m}{s^2}

b) k = \frac{9.8}{9.74}=1.006

Explanation:

Part a

For this case we can begin finding the period like this:

T= \frac{1}{w} =\frac{1}{617 rad/s}=0.00162 s

Then we know that the centripetal acceleration is given by:

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

And the velocity is given by:

v=\frac{2\pi r}{T}

If we replace this into the acceleration we got:

a = \frac{(\frac{2\pi r}{T})^2}{r}= \frac{4 \pi^2 r}{T^2}

And we can replace the values and we got:

a= \frac{4 \pi^2 (0.02 m)^2}{0.00162 s}=9.74 \frac{m}{s^2}

Part b

For this case we want to find a value of k such that:

a= k 9.8

Where a = 9.74, so then we can solve for k like this:

k = \frac{9.8}{9.74}=1.006

Consider the numbers 23.68 and 4.12. The sum of these numbers has ____ significant figures, and the product of these numbers has
damaskus [11]

Answer:multiplying will give us 7 significant figures and addition will give us 3 significant figures

Explanation:

After multiplying the two numbers they resulting value will give a value in its 4 decimal places because both given values are in 2 decimal places. The 4 dp is gotten by the addition of the decimal places of both given numbers (2+2) and

The result of its addition will give us a value in its 1dp and 3 significant figures since the addition of 23.68 and 4.12 will give us 27.8

1. Why is the theory that all things are made up of atoms a theory and not a fact?
steposvetlana [31]
Because there is no record of all things. As we have partially unknow information, it can never be held as a fact.
