The problem referred to in this question is missing and it is;

Two hockey pucks of identical mass are on a flat, horizontal ice hockey rink. The red puck is motionless; the blue puck is moving at 2.5 m/s to the left. It collides with the motionless red puck. The pucks have a mass of 15 g. After the collision, the red puck is moving at 2.5 m/s, to the left. What is the final velocity of the blue puck?

Answer:

The condition is that p_f - p_i which is the change in momentum will not be equal to zero but equal to the impulse (Ft).

Explanation:

In the problem described, by inspection, we can say that since there is no friction, we have a closed system and thus momentum is conserved.

Since momentum is conserved, we can say that;

Initial momentum(p_i) = final momentum(p_f)

Now, in this question we are told that some friction wants to be introduced on the ice and it's possible to still use conservation of momentum.

From impulse - momentum theory, we know that;

Impulse = change in momentum

Impulse is zero when no force is acting on the ice and we have; 0 = p_f - p_i

This will yield initial momentum = final momentum.

Now, since a force is applied, we know that impulse is; J = F × t

Thus;

Ft = p_f - p_i

Where F is the force due to friction.

Thus, the condition is that p_f - p_i will not be equal to zero

A 16 foot ladder is leaning against a wall. If the top of the ladder slides down the wall at a rate of 3 feet per second, how fa

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

11.625

Explanation:

L = length of the ladder = 16 ft

$v_{y}$ = rate at which top of ladder slides down = - 3 ft/s

$v_{x}$ = rate at which bottom of ladder slides

y = distance of the top of ladder from the ground

x = distance of bottom of ladder from wall = 4 ft

Using Pythagorean theorem

L² = x² + y²

16² = 4² + y²

y = 15.5 ft

Also using Pythagorean theorem

L² = x² + y²

Taking derivative both side relative to "t"

$0 = 2x\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t} + 2y\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}$

$0 = x v_{x} + y v_{y}$

$0 = 4 v_{x} + (15.5) (- 3)$

$v_{x}$ = 11.625 ft/s

A physics professor is pushed up a ramp inclined upward at 30.0° above the horizontal as she sits in her desk chair, which slide

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

V = 3.17 m/s

Explanation:

Given

Mass of the professor m = 85.0 kg

Angle of the ramp θ = 30.0°

Length travelled L = 2.50 m

Force applied F = 600 N

Initial Speed u = 2.00 m/s

Solution

Work = Change in kinetic energy

$F_{net}d = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2} - \frac{1}{2}mu^{2}\\\frac{2F_{net}d }{m} = v^{2} -u^{2}\\ v^{2} =\frac{2F_{net}d }{m} +u^{2}\\ v^{2} =\frac{2(600cos30 - 85\times 9.8 \times sin30) \times 2.5 }{85} +2.00^{2}\\ v^{2} = 10.066\\v = 3..17m/s$

What grade of sprain is a completely torn ligament?

Alex Ar [27]

Grade 1: Stretching or slight tearing of the ligament with mild tenderness, swelling and stiffness. The ankle feels stable and it is usually possible to walk with minimal pain.

Grade 2: A more severe sprain, but incomplete tear with moderate pain, swelling and bruising. Although it feels somewhat stable, the damaged areas are tender to the touch and walking is painful.

Grade 3: This is a complete tear of the affected ligament(s) with severe swelling and bruising. The ankle is unstable and walking is likely not possible because the ankle gives out and there is intense pain.
