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

0.375 m/s relative to the ice. What speed does the 60-kg skater acquire relative to the ice?

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

How can understanding velocity help to prevent a mid-air collision
dsp73

Answer:

To maintain enough time to prevent a collision, a system operating in air traffic where aircraft speed does not

fall below 100 km/h (most medium-sized UAVs and GA aircraft) will need to be able to detect obstacles which

subtend an arc-width of as small as 0.125 mra

A python can detect thermal radiation from objects that differ in temperature from their environment as long as the received int
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

10.52 m

Explanation:

The power radiated by a body is given by

P = σεAT⁴ where ε = emissivity = 0.97, T = temperature = 30 C + 273 = 303 K, A = surface area of human body = 1.8 m², σ = 5.67 × 10⁻⁴ W/m²K⁴

P = σεAT⁴ = 5.67 × 10⁻⁸ W/m²K⁴ ×  0.97 × 1.8 m² × (303)⁴ = 834.45 W

This is the power radiated by the human body.

The intensity I = P/A where A = 4πr² where r = distance from human body.

I = P/4πr²

r = (√P/πI)/2

If the python is able to detect an intensity of 0.60 W/m², with a power of 834.45 W emitted by the human body, the maximum distance r, is thus

r = (√P/πI)/2 = (√834.45/0.60π)/2 = 21.04/2 = 10.52 m

So, the maximum distance at which a python could detect your presence is 10.52 m.

How do you calculate the magnitude of the resultant force of two
zlopas [31]

Answer:

Two forces that act in opposite directions produce a resultant force that is smaller than either individual force. To find the resultant force subtract the magnitude of the smaller force from the magnitude of the larger force. The direction of the resultant force is in the same direction as the larger force.

A 20-cm long spring is attached to the wall. When pulled horizontally with a force of 100N, the spring stretches to a length of
suter [353]

Answer:

Explanation:

Part 0

All the spring moves is 2 cm

x = 2 cm * [1 m / 100 cm ]

x = 0.020 meters

F = k*d

100N = k * 0.02 m

100 N / 0.02 = k

5000 N / m

Part A

The spring feels a force of 100 N - - 100N = 200 N because each person is pulling in the opposite direction.

F = k * x

200N = 5000 N/m * d

200 / 5000 = d

d = 0.04 meters.

Part B

10.2 kg must be converted to a force as experienced here on earth.

F = m * g

g = 9.81

m = 10.2

F = 10.2 * 9.81

F = 100.06 N

F = k * d

100.06 = 5000 * d

d = 100.06 / 5000

d = 0.02 meters.

What is meant in astronomy by the phrase "adaptive optics?
Sergeu [11.5K]
<h2>Answer: a.The mirrors and eyepiece of a large telescope are spring-loaded to allow them to return quickly to a known position. </h2>

Explanation:

Adaptive optics is a method used in several astronomical observatories to counteract in real time the effects of the Earth's atmosphere on the formation of astronomical images.

This is done through the insertion into the optical path of the telescope of sophisticated deformable mirrors supported by a set of computationally controlled actuators. Thus obtaining clear images despite the effects of atmospheric turbulence that cause the unwanted distortion.

It should be noted that with this technique it is also necessary to have a moderately bright reference star that is very close to the object to be observed and studied. However, it is not always possible to find such stars, so a powerful laser beam is used to point towards the Earth's upper atmosphere and create artificial stars.
