Two ice skaters, one with a mass of 45 kg and the other with a mass of 60 kg, push off against one another starting from a stati

onary position. After they have pushed off, the relative speed at which they separate is 0.600m/s. What is the speed of the 60kg skater?

Answer:

0.25714 m/s

Explanation:

m_1 = Mass of 45 kg skater

m_2 = Mass of 60 kg skater

v_1 = Speed of 45 kg skater

v_2 = Speed of 60 kg skater

As the momentum is conserved

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=0\\\Rightarrow 45v_1+60v_2=0\\\Rightarrow v_1=-\frac{60v_2}{45}\\\Rightarrow v_1=-\frac{4}{3}v_2

v_r = Relative speed = 0.6 m/s

v_r=v_2-v_1\\\Rightarrow v_r=v_2-\left(-\frac{4}{3}v_2\right)\\\Rightarrow 0.6=\frac{7}{3}v_2\\\Rightarrow v_2=\frac{0.6\times 3}{7}\\\Rightarrow v_2=0.25714

The speed of the 60kg skater is 0.25714 m/s

Which ionic compound is used as a building material?
Maurinko [17]
Magnesium oxide is an ionic compound that can be used as a building material. MO2 is actually a raw material that used in producing cement for building houses, buildings, and other constructions.
Many old structures were made of limestones. Limestone is from Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3) which is an ionic compound and can be used as a building material too.

The resistance between 2 points in an electrical circuit is 1.1 Ω. What additional resistance
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

the new resister is 11 ohms.

Explanation:

Set it  up like this.

1/x + 1/1.1 = 1                    Subtract 1/1.1 from both sides

1/x = 1 - 1/1.1

1 - 1/1.1 = 1/11

1/x = 1/11                          Cross multiply

11 = x

If 1/11 bothers you, you could do it it another way.

1 - 1/1.1 = (1.1 - 1 ) / 1.1 = 0.1 / 1.1  Multiply top and bottom by 10

0.1*10/(1.1 * 10 ) = 1 / 11

A 8.00-kg object is hung from the bottom end of a vertical spring fastened to an overhead beam. The object is set into vertical
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

109.32 N/m

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of the hung object, m = 8 kg

Period of oscillation of object, T = 1.7 s

Force constant, k = ?

Recall that the period of oscillation of a Simple Harmonic Motion is given as

T = 2π √(m/k), where

T = period of oscillation

m = mass of object and

k = force constant if the spring

Since we are looking for the force constant, if we make "k" the subject of the formula, we have

k = 4π²m / T², now we go ahead to substitute our given values from the question

k = (4 * π² * 8) / 1.7²

k = 315.91 / 2.89

k = 109.32 N/m

Therefore, the force constant of the spring is 109.32 N/m
