Two ice skaters stand in the middle of an ice rink. Drew has a mass of 75 kg, and Lily has a mass of 55 kg. Drew holds Lily, and

they are both stationary. To begin their routine, he tosses her forward with a speed of 2 m/s.
a. The system is defined as Drew and Lily. What is the total momentum of the system before he throws her?

b. What is the total momentum of the system after he throws her?

c. What is the velocity of Drew after he throws her?

PART a)

Before Drew throw Lily in forwards direction they both stays at rest

So initial speed of both of them is zero

So here we can say that initial momentum of both of them is zero

So total momentum of the system initially = ZERO

PART b)

Since there is no external force on the system of two

so there will be no change in the momentum of this system and it will remain same as initial momentum

So final momentum of both of them will be ZERO

PART c)

As we know that momentum of both will be zero always

so we have

$P_1 + P_2 = 0$

$75(v) + 55(2) = 0$

$v = 1.47 m/s$ in opposite direction

a) p=0 since everybody's stationary

b) 0 according to law of conservation of momentum

c) 74u-55*2=0, solve,

u=1.47 m/s

To construct a solenoid, you wrap insulated wire uniformly around a plastic tube 7.1 cm in diameter and 57 cm in length. You wou

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

We need about 8769 meters of wire to produce a 2.6 kilogauss magnetic field.

Explanation:

Recall the formula for the magnetic field produced by a solenoid of length L. N turns, and running a current I:

$B=\mu_0\,\frac{N}{L} \,I$

So, in our case, where B = 2.6 KG = 0.26 Tesla; I is 3 amperes, and L = 0.57 m, we can find what is the number of turns needed;

$B=\mu_0\,\frac{N}{L} \,I\\0.26=4\,\pi\,10^{-7}\frac{N}{0.57} \,3\\N=\frac{0.26*0.57\,10^7}{12\,\pi} \\N=39311.27$

Therefore we need about 39312 turns of wire. Considering that each turn must have a length of $\pi\,D$ , where D is the diameter of the plastic cylindrical tube, then the total length of the wire must be:

$Length=39312\,(\pi\,D)=39312\,(\pi\,0.071)\approx 8768.66\,\,m$

We can round it to about 8769 meters.

The angular velocity (in rpm) of the blade of a blender is given in. If θ=0rad at t=0s, what is the blade's angular position at

Liula [17]

Answer:

θ = 20.9 rad

Explanation:

In a blender after a short period of acceleration the blade is kept at a constant angular velocity, for which we can use the relationship

w = θ / t

θ = w t

if we know the value of the angular velocity we can find the angular position, we must remember that all the angles must be in radians

suppose that the angular velocity is w = 10 rpm, let us reduce to the SI system

w = 10 rpm $(\frac{2\pi rad}{1 rev}) ( \frac{1 min}{60 s} )$

= 1,047 rads

let's calculate

θ = 1,047 20

θ = 20.9 rad

The Earth's gravity keeps us from flying out to space. How can you explain that we have a stronger gravitational attraction to t

julia-pushkina [17]

It's the fourth choice.

This is because, since we are closer to the Earth, the Earth will have a stronger gravitational pull on us since again, we are closer.
That also explains tides, but that's just getting off topic. Hope I helped.
