Answer:

The speed with which just after he grabs her is 2.68 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of Erica, m = 38 m/s

Mass of Danny, m' = 46 kg

Erica reaches the high point of her bounce, Danny is moving upward past her at 4.9 m/s. At this moment, the initial speed of Erica will be 0. The momentum will remain conserved. Using the conservation of linear momentum as :

mu+m'u'=(m+m')V\\\\0+46\times 4.9=(38+46)V\\\\V=\dfrac{225.4}{84}\\\\V=2.68\ m/s

So, the speed with which just after he grabs her is 2.68 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

A 1.4-kg block slides freely across a rough surface such that the block slows down with an acceleration of â1.25 m/s2. what is t
Marianna [84]

Mass of the block = 1.4 kg

Weight of the block = mg = 1.4 × 9.8 = 13.72 N

Normal force from the surface (N) = 13.72 N

Acceleration = 1.25 m/s^2

Let the coefficient of kinetic friction be μ

Friction force = μN

F(net) = ma

μmg = ma

μg = a

μ = \frac{a}{g}

μ = \frac{1.25}{9.8}

μ = 0.1275

Hence, the coefficient of kinetic friction is: μ = 0.1275

If it takes 200 joules of energy to lift a bucket of water 3 meters in 2 seconds, how much power would be required to do the sam
Harlamova29_29 [7]

200 joules of work energy are involved.  That's all we need to know to answer the question.  Once we know that 200 joules of work energy are involved, we don't care what was lifted, or how far, or how long it took, or how many people worked on it, or how much they were paid, or what was the distribution of their gender identities, or the ethnic diversity among the team. or what day each of them celebrates as their sabbath.  Any other information besides the 200 joules is only there to distract us, and see whether we're paying attention.

Power = (work or energy) / (time to do the work or move the energy)

Power = (200 joules) / (5 seconds)

<em>Power = 40 watts</em>

Why do chillies burn even through they’re cold?
tigry1 [53]

When chilies burn in our mouths, the surrounding temperature does not affect how hot the taste of the chilli is. It is only the spiciness that we taste in our mouths. This spiciness is caused by the chemical called capsaicin. This chemical is contained in the cells of the chilli. Capsaicin irritates the cells in your mouth so that is why you feel the discomfort in your mouth.

Hope it helps :)

serg [7]

An object is lifted from the surface of a spherical planet to an altitude equal to the radius of the planet.  

As a result, the object's <em>mass remains the same</em>, and its <em>weight decreases</em> to 1/4 of whatever it is when the object is on the planet's surface.

Minchanka [31]

The boundary between the crust and mantle is marked by a seismic-velocity discontinuity is called Mohorovicic discontinuity.

Mohorovicic discontinuity was discovered by Andrija Mohorovicic in 1909 who was a Croatian seismologist. He realized that the velocity of a seismic wave is related to the material's density where it is moving through. He decoded that the acceleration of the seismic waves that are observed within outer shell of the earth is a compositional change. Thus, the acceleration should be caused by a material of higher density.
