In a reversible reaction, both forward and reverse directions of the reaction generally occur at the same time. While reactants are reacting to produce products, products are reacting to produce reactants. Often, a point is reached at which forward and reverse directions of the reaction occur at the same rate.
Answer:
0.338125 m/s
Explanation:
Applying,
Law of conservation of momentum
m'v' = mv............ Equation 1
Where m' = mass of the first skater, v' = velocity of the first skater, m = mass of the second skater, v = velocity of the second skater.
make v the subject of the equation
v = m'v'/m........... Equation 2
From the question,
Given: m' = 54.1 kg, v' = 0.375 m/s, m = 60 kg
Substitute these values into equation
v = (54.1×0.375)/60
v = 20.2875/60
v = 0.338125 m/s
Precisely 84% if the Earth is made of mantle.
The answer is attached. Also, you should know that the unit for acceleration is m/s2 and for velocity it is m/s.
