In this scenario, only conservative force is acting on the ice-cream hence energy is conserved.
Now, you know that ice-cream was held at a height of 1.75 m from ground. Taking ground( h= 0 meters) as reference,
Total energy of ice-cream before it fell = Total energy after it reached the ground.
Once ice-cream falls, all its GPE is converted into kinetic energy. Kinetic energy will be maximum just before it hits the ground. And since ice-cream is inelastic substance, it will come to at rest. That is, its GPE will be zero on the ground
Answer:
(D) It is equal to the original velocity of the skater.
Explanation:
The velocity of the center of mass of a system is
The velocity of the center of mass is constant if there is no external force, because the total momentum of the whole system is conserved.
So, before the snowball is thrown, the velocity of the center of mass is equal to that of the skater. This velocity will always be equal to the velocity of the center of mass of the system.
I think that the question is simply asking whether the statement is correct.
The statement is wrong! The scientific endeavor (the work of the scientists, the pursue of knowledge) can be potentially harmful. For example, many tests of human medicine have to be performed on animals, and often the medicine causes great suffering in the animals (and gets rejected for testing on humans).
Answer: This is true
Explanation: v2=800/25= 32m/s
