Answer:

The mass from the second skater is 40.2Kg

Explanation:

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to conservation of the moment.

By definition for the particular case we have to,

m_1u_1 = m_2v_2

Where,

m_1= Mass first skater

u_1 = Speed of first skater

v_2 = Velocity of second skater

Our values are given as,

m_1= 48Kgu_1 = 0.67m/sv_2 = 0.8m/s

Replacing in our equation and re-arrange to find m_2,

m_2 = \frac{m_1u_1}{v_2}m_2 = \frac{(48)(0.67)}{0.8}m_2 = 40.2Kg

The mass from the second skater is 40.2Kg

Answer:

38.75 kg

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of momentum,

Total momentum before collision = Total momentum after collision

mu+m'u' = mv+m'v'................... Equation 1

Note: Since both skater were initially at rest, u = u' = 0 m/s.

Also Note that both skater moves in opposite direction after collision, and let the direction of the first skater be positive and that of the second skater be negative.

mv = -m'v'.......................... Equation 2

make m' the subject of the equation above,

m' = -mv/v'..................... Equation 3

Given: m =48 kg, v = 0.67 m/s, v = -0.83 m/s (opposite direction to the first skater)

substitute into equation 3

m' = -48(0.67)/-0.83

m' = -32.16/-0.83

m' = 38.75 kg

What distance will a vehicle travel before coming to a complete stop from a speed of 70 mph, (a) When the vehicle is traveling o
OLga [1]

Answer:

(a), The SSD will be 723.9 ft.

(b-1), The SSD will be 620.2 ft.

(b-2), The SSD will be 723.91>SSD>620.2

(c), The SSD will be 910.5 ft.

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed = 70 mph

Suppose, a perception reaction time of 2.5 sec and the coefficient of friction is 0.35

We need to calculate the stopping sight distance

Using formula of SSD

SSD=1.47\times v\times t+\dfrac{v^2}{30\times(f\pm g)}

Where, v = speed of vehicle

t = perception reaction time

f = coefficient of friction

g = gradient of road

(a). If the gradient of road is zero.

Then, the stopping sight distance will be

SSD=1.47\times 70\times 2.5+\dfrac{70^2}{30\times(0.35)}

SSD=723.9\ ft

(b-1). If the gradient of road is 0.1

Then, the stopping sight distance will be

SSD=1.47\times 70\times 2.5+\dfrac{70^2}{30\times(0.35+0.1)}

SSD=620.2\ ft

(b-2). If the grade continuously decrease then the SSD will be increase.

But if the grade is increase then the SSD will be decrease and for flat grade the SSD will be more.

So, The SSD will be 723.91>SSD>620.2

(c). When the vehicle is traveling downhill on a roadway of constant grade then the vehicle take will be more SSD

So, The SSD will be

SSD=1.47\times 70\times 2.5+\dfrac{70^2}{30\times(0.35-0.1)}

SSD=910.5\ ft

Hence, (a), The SSD will be 723.9 ft.

(b-1), The SSD will be 620.2 ft.

(b-2), The SSD will be 723.91>SSD>620.2

(c), The SSD will be 910.5 ft.

Increase the mass of the beanbag its gravitational potential energy will
kotegsom [21]

The gravitational potential energy will increase

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy (GPE) of an object is the energy possessed by the object due to its position in a gravitational field.

Near the Earth's surface, the GPE of an object is given by

GPE=mgh

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration of gravity

h is the heigth of the object above the ground

From the equation, we see that the GPE is directly proportional to the mass: therefore, if the mass increases, the GPE will increase as well.

So, for the beanbag in this problem, when its mass increases, the GPE will increase as well.
