Answer:3.31m/s², to the right

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of momentum of a body, change in momentum of bodies before collision is equal to the change in momentum after collision.

Momentum = mass × velocity

M1 and M2 be the masses of the first and second skaters respectively

Let u1 and u2 be the velocities of the first and second skaters respectively.

v be their common velocity after collision

M1 = 77kg M2 = 66kg u1 = 4m/s² u2 = 2.5m/s²

According to the law we have

M1u1 + M2u2 = (M1+M2)v

77(4) + 66(2.5) = (77+66)v

308 + 165 = 143v

V = 473/143

V = 3.31m/s²

Their velocity after collision will become 3.31m/s²

They will both move towards the right after collision because the mass of the body moving to the right is higher than the other mass and the mass is also moving at a higher velocity than the other.

Answer:

C = 1.01

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass, m = 75 kg

The terminal velocity of the mass, v_t=60\ m/s

Area of cross section, A=0.33\ m^2

We need to find the drag coefficient. At terminal velocity, the weight is balanced by the drag on the object. So,

R = W

or

\dfrac{1}{2}\rho CAv_t^2=mg

Where

\rho is the density of air = 1.225 kg/m³

C is drag coefficient

So,

C=\dfrac{2mg}{\rho Av_t^2}\\\\C=\dfrac{2\times 75\times 9.8}{1.225\times 0.33\times (60)^2}\\\\C=1.01

So, the drag coefficient is 1.01.

The apparent height of a building 10.5 km away is 0.02 radians. What is the approximate height of the building to the nearest me
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

Approximate height of the building is 23213 meters.

Explanation:

Let the height of the building be represented by h.

0.02 radians = 0.02 × \frac{180^{o} }{\pi }

                     = 0.02 x (180/\frac{22}{7})

0.02 radians  = 1.146°

10.5 km = 10500 m

Applying the trigonometric function, we have;

Tan θ = \frac{opposite}{adjacent}

So that,

Tan 1.146° = \frac{h}{10500}

⇒ h = Tan 1.146° x 10500

      = 2.21074 x 10500

      = 23212.77

h = 23213 m

The approximate height of the building is 23213 m.

A car moved 60 meters west in 2 hours. What is its average velocity?
Fofino [41]

Explanation: Velocity is the displacement of an object during a specific unit of time. Two measurements are needed to determine velocity. Displacement and time. Displacement includes a direction, so velocity also includes a direction. Speed with direction. Velocity can be an average velocity or an instantaneous velocity. Units for velocity are the same as for speed: m/s, km/h, and mph. Delta x(Δx) is the symbol used for displacement. Delta (Δ) means to "change in." Δx means to "change in position." Δx is calculated by final position minus initial position. Velocity formula: → v=Δx/t as a fraction.

v=Δx/t

v=\frac{xf-xi}{t}= \frac{60m}{2}=30m

<em><u>Final answer is 30.</u></em>

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Have a great day!
