A 58-kg skater is standing still in front of a wall. By pushing against the wall she propels herself backward with a velocity of

-1 m/s. Her hands are in contact with the wall for 0.80 s. Ignore friction and wind resistance. Find the magnitude and direction of the average force she exerts on the wall (which has the same magnitude, but opposite direction, as the force that the wall applies to her).

Answer:

F = -72.5 N

Explanation:

You can do this excercise in two ways.

The first way is using the second law of Newton which is:

F = m*a

You should calculate the acceleration and then solve for F.

The second way is to use the formula of momentum which is:

F*t = m*V

Here, you only need to put the data of the excercise and solve for F.

Either way you do this, you'll get the same result.

I'll do it by both methods to prove it:

First method:

Assuming that the innitial speed is 0 (because is standing still) acceleration would be:

a = Vf/t

Solving for a:

a = -1/0.8 = -1.25 m/s^2

Now, let's solve for F:

F = 58 * (-1.25) = -72.5 N

Second method:

We know that F*t = m*V so:

F = m*V/t

F = 58 * (-1) / 0.8

F = -72.5 N

If you have two objects on the edge of a cliff, how can you determine which one has the most potential energy?
True [87]

Answer: now take this with a grain of salt because I'm in middle school but I think that the more massive object has more potential energy.

Why do covalent and ionic bonds form?
nevsk [136]

Answer:

Ionic bonds form when a nonmetal and a metal exchange electrons, while covalent bonds form when electrons are shared between two nonmetals. An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond formed through an electrostatic attraction between two oppositely charged ions.

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

<em>For this case we have that by definition, the social sciences group all the scientific disciplines whose object of study is linked to the activities and behavior of human beings. The social sciences, therefore, analyze the manifestations of society, both material and symbolic.</em>

The surrounding natural environment is an environment that is mostly social. Therefore, using, using the mentioned definition, we need to consulate a social scientist.

This person can give information about the behavior of humans in social areas.

Then, Janet can get help from a social scientist.
