Answer:

The speed of the 60.0 kg skater should be 0.281 m/s

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: </u>Data given

Mass of skater 1 = 45.0 kg

speed of skater 1 = 0.375 m/s

Mass of skater 2 = 60.0 kg

<u>Step 2:</u> Calculate the speed of skater 2

To solve this problem, we will use 'Conservation of momenton'. This means  the momentum before the push equals the momentum after.

momentum p = m*v

Momentum p(before) = momentum p(after)

m1*v1 = m2 * v2

⇒ with m1 = mass of skater 1 = 45.0 kg

⇒ with v1 = the velocity of skater 1 = 0.375 m/s

⇒ with m2 = the mass of skater 2 = 60.0 kg

⇒ with v2 = the velocity of skater 2 = TO BE DETERMINED

45.0 * 0.375 = 60.0 * v2

v2 = (45.0*0.375)/60

v2 = 0.281 m/s

The speed of the 60.0 kg skater should be 0.281 m/s

a drop of gasoline has a mass of 22 mg and a density of 0.754 g/cm^3. What is its volume in cubic centimeters?
Verizon [17]
The density can be calculated using the following rule:
density = mass/volume
therefore,
volume = mass/density

we have the mass=22 mg=0.022 grams and density=0.754g/cm^3

substituting in the above equation, we can calculate the volume as follows:
volume = 0.022/0.754 = 0.0291 cm^3
