Two ice skaters, Lilly and John, face each other while at rest, and then push against each other's hands. The mass of John is tw

ice that of Lilly. How do their speeds compare after they push off? Lilly's speed is one-fourth of John's speed. Lilly's speed is the same as John's speed. Lilly's speed is two times John's speed. Lilly's speed is four times John's speed. Lilly's speed is one-half of John's speed.

Answer:

Lilly's speed is two times John's speed.

Explanation:

m = Mass

a = Acceleration

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

The force they apply on each other will be equal

F=ma\\\Rightarrow a_l=\frac{F}{m_l}

F=ma\\\Rightarrow a_j=\frac{F}{2m_l}\\\Rightarrow a_j=\frac{1}{2}a_l

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v_l=0+\frac{F}{m_l}\times t\\\Rightarrow v_l=a_lt

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v_l=0+\frac{F}{2m_l}\times t\\\Rightarrow v_j=\frac{1}{2}a_lt\\\Rightarrow v_j=\frac{1}{2}v_l\\\Rightarrow v_l=2v_j

Hence, Lilly's speed is two times John's speed.

What are the magnitude and direction of the acceleration of an electron at a point where the electric field has magnitude 7400 N
bezimeni [28]

Answer: a = 1.32 * 10^18m/s² due north

Explanation: The magnitude of the force required to move the electron is given as

F = ma

The force exerted on the charge by the electric field of intensity (E) is given by

F = Eq

Thus

Eq = ma

a = E * q/ m

Where a = acceleration of charge

E = strength of electric field = 7400N/c

q = magnitude of electronic charge = 1.609 * 10^-6c

m = mass of an electronic charge = 9.109 * 10^-31kg

a = 7400 * 1.609 * 10^-16/ 9.109 * 10^-31

a = 11906.6 * 10^-16 / 9.019 * 10^-31

a = 1.19 * 10^-12 / 9.019 * 10^-31

a = 0.132 * 10^19

a = 1.32 * 10^18m/s²

As stated in the question, the direction of the electric field is due north hence, the direction of it force will also be north thus making the electron experience a force due north ( according to Newton second law of motion)
