A 53.0-kg skater is traveling due east at a speed of 2.90 m/s. A 72.0-kg skater is moving due south at a speed of 6.20 m/s. They

collide and hold on to each other after the collision, managing to move off at an angle south of east, with a speed of vf. Find (a) the angle and (b) the speed vf, assuming that friction can be ignored.

Answer:

a.\thta=71^{\circ}

b.v_f=3.78 m/s

Explanation:

We are given that

m_1=53 kg

v_1=2.9 m/s

m_2= 72 kg

v_2=6.2 m/s

a.We have to find the angle

\theta=tan^{-1}{\frac{m_2v_2}{m_1v_1}=\frac{72(6.2)}{53(2.9)}=71^{\circ}

\theta=71^{\circ}

b. We have to find the speed v_f

According to law of conservation of momentum

m_1v_1=(m_1+m_2)v_fcos\theta

53(2.9)=(53+72)v_fcos 71^{\circ}=40.7 v_f

v_f=\frac{153.7}{40.7}=3.78 m/s

Why cooking pans don't have have metal handles?
Harrizon [31]


metals are conductors, meaning that heat travels through it better than insulators such as plastic (commonly used for pan handles)

Therefore, to avoid the heat burning hands, most pans don't have metal handles.

A block of mass m is pushed a horizontal distance D from position A to position B, along a horizontal plane with friction coeffi
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

The total work done by friction is -2 · μ · m · g · D

Explanation:

Hi there!

The work done by a force is calculated as follows:

W = F · d · cos θ

Where:

W = work.

F = force that does the work.

d = displacement.

θ = angle between the displacement and the force.

If the force is horizontal, as in this case, cos θ = 1

The friction force is calculated as follows:

Ffr = μ · m · g

Where:

μ = friction coefficient.

m = mass of the object.

g = acceleration due to gravity.

Then, in this case, the work done by friction when pushing the block from A to B will be:

W AB = -Ffr · D

W AB = - μ · m · g · D

Notice that the friction force is negative because it is opposite to the pushing force P.

When the block is pushed from B to A, the work done by friction will be:

W BA = Ffr · (-D)

W BA = -μ · m · g · D

Now, the displacement is negative and the friction force is positive (in the opposite direction to -P).

The total work done by friction will be:

W AB + W BA = - μ · m · g · D  - μ · m · g · D  = -2 μ · m · g · D

Why a raw egg shell disolves when submerge in vineger
quester [9]
If you soak this egg shell in vinegar (which is about 4% acetic acid), you start a chemical reaction that dissolves the calcium carbonate shell. The acetic acid reacts with the calcium carbonate in the egg shell and releases carbon dioxide gas that you see as bubbles on the shell.
