A man of mass m 1 5 70.0 kg is skating at v1 5 8.00 m/s behind his wife of mass m 2 5 50.0 kg, who is skating at v2 5 4.00 m/s.

Instead of passing her, he inadvertently collides with her. He grabs her around the waist, and they maintain their balance. (a) Sketch the problem with before - and - after diagrams, representing the skaters as blocks. (b) Is the collision best described as elastic, inelastic, or perfectly inelastic? Why? (c) Write the general equation for conservation of momentum in terms of m 1, v 1, m 2, v 2, and final velocity vf . (d) Solve the momentum equation for vf . (e) Substitute values, obtaining the numerical value for vf , their speed after the collision.

Answer:

A. Kindly find attached free body diagram for your reference (smiles I guess I will make a terrible artist)

B. The collision is inelastic because both the husband and the wife moved together with same velocity as he grabs her on the waist

C. The general equation for conservation of momentum in terms of m 1, v 1, m 2, v 2, and final velocity vf

Say mass of husband is m1

Mass of the wife is m2

Velocity of the husband is v1

Velocity of the wife is v2

According to the conservation of momentum principle momentum before impact m1v1+m2v2 =momentum after impact Common velocity after impact (m1+m2)vf

The momentum equation is

m1v1+m2v2= (m1+m2)vf

D. To solve for vf we need to make it subject of formula

vf= {(m1v1) +(m2v2)}/(m1+m2)

E. Substituting our given data

vf=

{(1570*58)+(2550*54)}/(1570+2558)

vf=91060+137700/4120

vf=228760/4120

vf=55.52m/s

Their speed after collision is 55.52m/s

In a milkans apparatus,an oil drop of weight 2.0×10^-15kg accquires two surplus electrons. when a Potential difference of 620 vo
andriy [413]

Answer:

r = 9.92 mm

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of oil drop, m=2\times 10^{-15}\ kg

It acquires 2 surplus electrons, q = +2e =3.2\times 10^{-19}\ C

Potential difference, V = 620 V

Thie potential difference is applied between the pair of horizontal metal plates the drop is in equilibrium.

We need to find the distance between the plates.

At equilibrium,

mg = qE

Since, E = V/r (r is distance between plates)

mg=\dfrac{qV}{r}\\\\r=\dfrac{qV}{mg}\\\\r=\dfrac{3.2\times 10^{-19}\times 620}{2\times 10^{-15}\times 10}\\\\=0.00992\ m\\\\=9.92\ mm

So, the distance between the plates is 9.92 mm.

What is the role of Langerhans cells?
boyakko [2]

     

Langerhans cells exist on the surface of the skin. They help to protect you by keeping dangerous microbes from entering your body. Langerhans cells do this in two very different ways: by protecting your skin from infection and also by stimulating allergic reactions.

Describe a process in which energy changes forms at least twice
olga55 [171]
That would be like dropping your cell phone on to the ground by accident. The object (cell phone)'s gravitational potential energy would be converted to kinetic energy or energy in motion more precisely. This is just a hypothetical example though.

you throw a ball vertically so it leaves the ground withe velocity of 3.71m/s. what is its acceleration at this point
tino4ka555 [31]

No matter what direction you throw it, or with what speed, its acceleration is immediately 9.8 m/s^2 downward as soon as you release it from your hand, and it doesn't change until the ball hits something.
