Bill and Karen go to the ice-skating rink. Bill has twice the mass of Karen. While they are standing still and talking, suddenly

Bill pushes Karen backward. What can you say about the forces between Bill and Karen?

Answer:

forces acting on the two will be equal and opposite in  nature according to Newton's third law of motion.

Explanation:

Given:

mass of Karen, m (let)

then, mass of Bill, 2m

When they are standing near one another and suddenly Bill pushes Karen then this can be treated as elastic collision and the conservation of momentum applies as:

Sum of final and initial momentum of the system is zero.

m.v_k-2m.v_b=0

2v_b=-v_k

v_b=-\frac{v_k}{2}

But the forces acting on the two will be equal and opposite in  nature according to Newton's third law of motion.

valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

Temperature at the bottom will be 19.18°C

Explanation:

We have given height h = 807 m

Temperature at the top =17.3^{\circ}C

Specific heat of water c = 4200 J/kg/^{\circ}C

From energy conservation

Kinetic energy at the bottom = potential energy at the top

So mc\Delta T=mgh

\Delta T=\frac{gh}{c}=\frac{9.8\times 807}{4200}=1.88^{\circ}C

So temperature at the bottom = 17.3+1.88 = 19.18°C

The sound level of one person talking at a certain distance from you is 61 dB. If she is joined by 5 more friends, and all of th
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

Explanation:

For sound level in decibel scale the relation is

dB = 10 log I / I₀ where I₀ = 10⁻¹² and I is intensity of sound whose decibel scale is to be calculated .

Putting the given values

61 = 10 log I / 10⁻¹²

log I / 10⁻¹² = 6.1

I = 10⁻¹² x 10⁶°¹

=10^{-5.9}

intensity of sound of 5 persons

I=5\times 10^{-5.9}

dB=10log\frac{5 X 10^{-5.9}}{10^{-12}}

= 10log 5 x 10⁶°¹

= 10( 6.1 + log 5 )

= 67.98

sound level will be 67.98 dB .

Rocks A and B are located at the same height on top of a hill. The mass of rock A is twice the mass of rock B. How does the pote
Ronch [10]

Potential energy is defined by formula

U = mgh

here

m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height

Now here two different stones are located at same height

while mass of stone A is twice that of stone B

so here we can say potential energy of A is

U_a = (2m)gh

Similarly potential energy of B is

U_b = mgh

now if we take the ratio of two energy

\frac{U_a}{U_b} = 2

so we can say potential energy of stone A is two times the potential energy of B
