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

The atmospheric pressure on the top of the Engineering Sciences Building (ESB) is 97.6 kPa, while that in Room G39-ESB (ground f
Stells [14]

Answer:

Δ h = 52.78 m

Explanation:

given,

Atmospheric pressure at the top of building = 97.6 kPa

Atmospheric pressure at the bottom of building = 98.2 kPa

Density of air = 1.16 kg/m³

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

height of the building = ?

We know,

Δ P = ρ g Δ h

(98.2-97.6) x 10³ = 1.16 x 9.8 x Δ h

11.368 Δ h = 600

Δ h = 52.78 m

Hence, the height of the building is equal to 52.78 m.

A baseball has a mass of 145 g. A bat exerts a force of 18,400 N on the ball. What is the acceleration of the ball?
amid [387]

The correct formula to use for the situation given above is: F = MA, where F is the applied force, M is the mass of the object and A is the acceleration.

From the details given in the question, we are told that:

F = 18, 400N

M = 145 g = 145 / 1000 = 0.145 kg

A = ?

From the equation F = MA

A = F / M

A = 18,400 / 0.145 = 126,896.55 = 1.27 *10^5.

Therefore, the correct option is C.

a woman walks south at a speed of 2.0mph for 60 minutes. She then turns around and walks north at a distance of 3000m in 25 minu
TiliK225 [7]

When a  woman walks south at a speed of 2.0mph for 60 minutes. She then turns around and walks north at a distance of 3000m in 25 minutes. then the woman's average speed during her entire motion would be  73.15 meters /minute.

<h3>What is speed?</h3>

The total distance covered by any object per unit of time is known as speed.

the mathematical expression for speed is given by

speed = total; distance /total time

As given in the problem a woman walks south at a speed of 2.0mph for 60 minutes

60 min = 1 hour

1 mile = 1.60934 km

The distance covered by her southwards  =  speed ×time

                                                                      =2 mph × 60 minutes

                                                                      = 3.218 km

She then turns around and walks north at a distance of 3000m in 25 minutes

The distance covered northward is 3000m

speed = total distance /total time

          =(3218 +3000) /(60+25)

          =73.15 meters /minutes

Thus, The average speed of the woman would be 73.15 meters /minute.
