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

Suppose we have a 600 kilogram great "yellow" shark swimming to the right at a speed of 3 meters traveled each second as it trie

sammy [17]

Answer:

2.64 m/s

Explanation:

Given that a 600 kilogram great "yellow" shark swimming to the right at a speed of 3 meters traveled each second as it tries to get lunch. An unsuspecting 100 kilogram blue fin tuna is minding its own business swimming to the left at a speed of 0.5 meters traveled each second. GULP! After the great "yellow" shark "collides" with the blue fin tuna

Momentum = MV

Momentum of the yellow shark before collision = 600 × 3 = 1800 kgm/s

Momentum of the tun final before collision = 100 × 0.5 = 50 kgm/s

Total momentum before collision = 1800 + 50 = 1850 kgm/s

Let's assume that they move together after collision. Then,

1850 = ( 600 + 100 ) V

1850 = 700V

V = 1850 / 700

V = 2.64285 m/s

Therefore, the momentum of the shark after collision is 2.64 m/ s approximately

Answer:

0.833

Explanation:

Power = energy / time

Power = force × distance / time

Power = force × velocity

P = (850 kg) (9.8 m/s²) (1.00 m/s)

P = 8330 W

P = 8.33 kW

The efficiency of the motor is therefore:

e = 8.33 kW / 10.0 kW

e = 0.833

OleMash [197]

Answer:

the answer is B.

Explanation:

The claim is correct because Student Y can apply a force that is greater in magnitude than the frictional forces that are exerted on the student-student-skateboard system

How is the pressure of a gas related to its concentration of particles?A) Pressure will expand a gas, enlarging its volume and r

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

C) Pressure will compress a gas, reducing its volume and giving it a greater density and concentration of particles.

Explanation:

At constant temperature, pressure and volume are inversely related.

P V = constant

$\Rightarrow P \propto \frac{1}{V}$

As the pressure increases, the gas compresses, the particles come closer reducing the volume of gas.

As we know, with decrease in volume, density increases.

$Density = \frac{Mass}{Volume}$

$Density \propto \frac{1}{Volume}$

Thus, the pressure of a gas is directly related to concentration of particles. Increase in pressure causes increase in concentration of the particles.

An oil gusher shoots crude oil 25.0 m into the air through a pipe with a 0.100-m diameter. Neglecting air resistance but not the

Mariana [72]

Answer:3764.282 KPa

Explanation:

Given gusher shoots oil at h=25 m

i.e. the velocity of jet is

v=\sqrt{2gh}[/tex]

v=22.147 m/s

Now the pressure loss in pipe is given by hagen poiseuille equation

$\Delta P=\frac{32L\mu v}{D^2}$

$\Delta P=\frac{32\times 50\times 22.147\times 1}{10^{-2}}$

$\Delta P=3543.557 KPa$

For 25 m head in terms of Pressure

$\Delta P_2=\rho \times g\times h=220.725 KPa$

Total Pressure= $\Delta P+\Delta P_2$ =3543.557+220.725=3764.282 KPa
