This problem here is an example of inelastic collision where kinetic energy is not conserved but momentum is. We calculate as follows:

m1v1 + m2v2 = (m1 + m2)v3
v3 = m1v1 + m2v2  / m1 + m2
v3 = (30.2)(1000) + (5000)(0) / (30.2 + 5000)
v3 = 6.00 m/s

A 75kg hockey player is skating across the ice at a speed of 6.0m/s. What is the magnitude of the average force required to stop
liq [111]

Answer:

692.31 N

Explanation:

Applying,

F = ma............... Equation 1

Where F = Average force required to stop the player, m = mass of the player, a = acceleration of the player

But,

a = (v-u)/t............ Equation 2

Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, t = time.

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

F = m(v-u)/t............ Equation 3

From the question,

Given: m = 75 kg, u = 6.0 m/s, v = 0 m/s (to stop), t = 0.65 s

Substitute these values into equation 3

F = 75(0-6)/0.65

F = -692.31 N

Hence the average force required to stop the player is 692.31 N

Explain how thermal energy (temperature) affects chemical changes.
Monica [59]
If bonds are broken, the energy is released, and if bonds are formed, energy is absorbed. During conversions from chemical energy to thermal energy, the energy stored in the chemical bonds are released and this energy causes surrounding molecules to move faster thus increasing the thermal energy of a substance.

Sketch a reaction progress curve for a reaction that has an activation energy of 22 kj and the total energy change is -103kj.
crimeas [40]

Answer:

Do find the answer in the attachment herein.

Explanation:

From the attached diagram:

I. Activation energy = Activated complex - ∆H(reactants)

Activation energy = 162-140 = 22Kj.

II. ∆H(reaction) = ∆H(products) - ∆H(reactants)

∆H(reaction) = 37 - 140 = -103Kj.

The captain of a boat wants to travel directly across a river that flows due exst with a speed of 100 m/sHe starts from the sout
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

86.51° North of West or 273.49°

Explanation:

Let V' = velocity of boat relative to the earth, v = velocity of boat relative to water and V = velocity of water.

Now, by vector addition V' = V + v'.

Since v' = 6.10 m/s in the north direction, v' = (6.10 m/s)j and V = 100 m/s in the east direction, V = (100 m/s)i. So that

V' = V + v'

V' =   (100 m/s)i + (6.10 m/s)j

So, we find the direction,Ф the boat must steer to from the components of V'.

So tanФ = 6.10 m/s ÷ 100 m/s

tanФ = 0.061

Ф = tan⁻¹(0.061) = 3.49°

So, the angle from the north is thus 90° - 3.49° = 86.51° North of West or 270° + 3.49° = 273.49°
