A 110 kg ice hockey player skates at 3.0 m/s toward a railing at the edge of the ice and then stops himself by grasping the rail

ing with his outstretched arms. During the stopping process, his center of mass moves 30 cm toward the railing. (a) What is the change in the kinetic energy of his center of mass during this process

Answer:

Δ KE = -495 J

Explanation:

given,

mass of the ice hockey player = 110 Kg

initial speed = 3 m/s

final speed = 0 m/s

distance, d = 0.3 m

change in kinetic energy

$\Delta K E = \dfrac{1}{2}mv_f^2 - \dfrac{1}{2}mv_i^2$

$\Delta K E = \dfrac{1}{2}mv(0)^2 - \dfrac{1}{2}\times 110\times 3^2$

Δ KE = -495 J

Hence, the change in kinetic energy is equal to Δ KE = -495 J

An object is placed in front of a diverging lens, such that the object-to-image distance is 71 cm.

Pachacha [2.7K]

Explanation:

Given that,

Object-to-image distance d= 71 cm

Image distance = 26 cm

We need to calculate the object distance

$u -v= d$

$u=71+26=97\ cm$

We need to calculate the focal length

Using formula of lens

$\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{u}$

put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{-26}+\dfrac{1}{97}$

$\dfrac{1}{f}=-\dfrac{71}{2522}$

$f=-35.52\ cm$

The focal length of the lens is 35.52.

(B). Given that,

Object distance = 95 cm

Focal length = 29 cm

We need to calculate the distance of the image

Using formula of lens

$\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{u}$

Put the value in to the formula

$\dfrac{1}{-29}=\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{95}$

$\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{-29}-\dfrac{1}{95}$

$\dfrac{1}{v}=-\dfrac{124}{2755}$

$v=-22.21\ cm$

We need to calculate the magnification

Using formula of magnification

$m=\dfrac{v}{u}$

$m=\dfrac{22.21}{95}$

$m=0.233$

The magnification is 0.233.

The image is virtual.

Hence, This is the required solution.

A person looks across a stadium at the scoreboard, which appears blurry. The person looks down at the program, which is complete

Pepsi [2]

Answer is D. Nearsightedness is when a person can see near, but not far. Everything appears blurry from far away, but as you get close to it, it becomes more focused

A pendulum at position A is released and swings through position B to position Con the other side.

zaharov [31]

Explanation:

Given the conditions A,B and C when the pendulum is released, at point A the initial velocity of the pendulum is zero(0), the potential energy stored is maximum(P.E= max),

the conditions can be summarized bellow

point A

initial velocity= 0

final velocity=0

P.E= Max

K.E= 0

point B

initial velocity= maximum

final velocity=maximum

P.E=K.E

point C

initial velocity= min

final velocity=min

P.E= 0

K.E= max

A particle undergoes two displacements. The first has a magnitude of 11 m and makes an angle of 82 ◦ with the positive x axis. T

Luden [163]

Answer:

$\theta = 211.7 degree$

Explanation:

First displacement of the particle is given as

$r_1$ = 11 m at 82 degree with positive X axis

so we can say

$\vec r_1 = 11 cos82 \hat i + 11 sin82 \hat j$

$\vec r_1 = 1.53\hat i + 10.9 \hat j$

resultant displacement of the particle after second displacement is given as

r = 8.7 m at 135 degree with positive X axis

so we can say

$r = 8.7 cos135\hat i + 8.7 sin135\hat j$

$r = -6.15 \hat i + 6.15 \hat j$

now we know that

$r = r_1 + r_2$

now we have

$r_2 = r - r_1$

so we will have

$r_2 = (-6.15 \hat i + 6.15 \hat j) - (1.53\hat i + 10.9 \hat j)$

$r_2 = -7.68 \hat i - 4.75 \hat j$

so angle of the second displacement is given as

$tan\theta = \frac{r_y}{r_x}$

$tan\theta = \frac{-4.75}{-7.68}$

$\theta = 211.7 degree$
