A 28-kg beginning roller skater is standing in front of a wall. By pushing against the wall, she is propelled backward with a ve

locity of -1.2 m/s. While pushing, her hands are in contact with the wall for 0.80 s. Ignoring frictional effects, find the magnitude and direction of the impulse acting on the skater.

Answer:

33.6 Ns backward.

Explanation:

Impulse: This can be defined as the product of force and time. The S.I unit of impulse is Ns.

From Newton's second law of motion,

Impulse = change in momentum

I = mΔv................................. Equation 1

Where I = impulse, m = mass of the skater, Δv = change in velocity = final velocity - initial velocity.

Given: m = 28 kg, t = 0.8 s, Δv = -1.2-0 = -1.2 m/s (Note: the initial velocity of the skater = 0 m/s)

Substituting into equation 1

I = 28(-1.2)

I = -33.6 Ns

Thus the impulse = 33.6 Ns backward.

The ransom note in the Lindbergh kidnapping case included some obvious spelling errors and other foreign and regional language.
Dimas [21]

Answer: The FBI used a technique which is called Latent Fingerprint Identification: a silver nitrate solution was used to cause a reaction of the unseen fingerprints perspiration left by the kidnappers all over the ransom notes. The reaction caused the perspiration to turn into silver chloride. This substance is white and it is also visible to the naked eye which means the fingerprints of the perpetrators were easily identifiable.

sorry if this is wrong, i hope i helped

An arrow is shot at an angle of 35° and a velocity of 50 m/s. How long does it take to return to its original starting height?
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

4.02 s

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Angle of projection (θ) = 35°

Initial velocity (u) = 50 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²

Time of flight (T) =?

The time of flight of the arrow can be obtained as follow:

T = 2uSineθ / g

T = 2 × 35 × Sine 35 / 10

T = 70 × 0.5736 / 10

T = 7 × 0.5736

T = 4.02 s

Therefore, the time taken for the arrow to return is 4.02 s

Which of the following examples is not considered a pure substance?<br> Answer asap
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

Fruit Punch

Explanation:

A pure substance is whereby there is only one type of element or a compound in the periodic table in the substance.

Carbon: Well its just C in the periodic table, so this is definitely pure.

Water Molecule: What makes water? H2O right? Contains Hydrogen and Oxygen, and as we all know H2O is a compound, therefore this is a pure substance.

Fruit Punch: What makes fruit punch, water and fruits. Fruits may contain citric acid(a compound itself), and is mixed with water with already has a compound, so having 2 different compounds will result in a mixture and therefore it will not be pure.
