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

A ball is fixed to the end of a string, which is attached to the ceiling at point P. As the drawing shows, the ball is projected
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

The ball's initial kinetic energy

The ball comes to a stop at B. At this point its initial kinetic energy is converted into potential energy

Explanation:

A ball is fixed to the end of a string, which is attached to the ceiling at point P. As the drawing shows, the ball is projected downward at A with the launch speed v0. Traveling on a circular path, the ball comes to a halt at point B. What enables the ball to reach point B, which is above point A? Ignore friction and air resistance.

From conservation of energy which states that energy can neither be created nor be destroyed, but can be transformed from one form to another.

Ki+Ui=Kf+Uf

Ki=initial kinetic energy

Ui=initial potential energy

Kf=final kinetic energy

Uf=final potential energy

we know that \frac{1}{2} mu^{2} +mgha=\frac{1}{2} mv^{2} +mghb

m=mass of the ball

ha=downward height a

hb=upward height b

u=initial velocity u

v=final velocity v, which is 0

g=acceleration due to gravity

v=0 at final velocity

1/2mu^2+mgha=0+1/2mv^2

ha=hb+Ki/mh

From the above equation, we can conclude that the ball's initial kinetic energy  is responsible for making the ball reach point B.

Point B is higher than point A from the motion gained by the ball

you stand on a straight desert road at night and observe a vehicle approaching. this vehicle is equipped with two small headligh
inysia [295]

Answer:

The distance that you marginally able to discern that there are two headlights rather than a single light source is 6.084 km

Explanation:

Given:

d = distance = 0.679 m

λ = wavelength of the light = 537 nm = 537x10⁻⁹m

dp = pupil diameter = 4.81 mm = 0.00481 m

Question: What distance, in kilometers, are you marginally able to discern that there are two headlights rather than a single light source, dx = ?

For the separation of the peak from the central maximum it is:

sin\theta =\frac{\lambda }{d_{p} } =\frac{537x10^{-9} }{0.00481} =1.116x10^{-4}

In this case, the two small sources of the headlights have the same angle as the images that form inside the eye

d_{x} =\frac{d}{sin\theta } =\frac{0.679}{1.116x10^{-4} } =6.084x10^{3} m=6.084km
