Incomplete question.The complete question is here

A strong man is compressing a lightweight spring between two weights. One weight has a mass of 2.3 kgkg , the other a mass of 5.3 kgkg . He is holding the weights stationary, but then he loses his grip and the weights fly off in opposite directions. The lighter of the two is shot out at a speed of 6.0 m/sm/s .What is the speed of the heavier weight?

Answer:

v_{2f}=2.60m/s

Explanation:

Given data

First weight mass m₁=2.3 kg

Second weight mass m₂=5.3 kg

Lighter weight speed v₁i= -6.0 m/s

To find

Heavier weight velocity v₂f

Solution

From law of conservation of momentum

p_{f}=p_{i}\\ m_{1}v_{1f}+m_{2}v_{2f}=m_{1}v_{1i}+m_{2}v_{2i}\\as\\v_{1i}=v_{2i}=0\\So\\ m_{1}v_{1f}+m_{2}v_{2f}=0\\ m_{1}v_{1f}=-m_{2}v_{2f}\\v_{2f}=(\frac{ m_{1}v_{1f}}{-m_{2}} )\\v_{2f}=(\frac{ 2.3kg*(-6.0m/s)}{-(5.3kg)} )\\v_{2f}=(-13.8/-5.3)\\v_{2f}=2.60m/s

Which factor (s) have the most affect a person’s vital capacity? Rank in order from MOST effect (1) to least effect (5)
jenyasd209 [6]

The factors that affect vital capacity are :

  1. Age
  2. Sex
  3. Height
  4. Body mass
  5. Ethnicity

Explanation:

Vital capacity is the maximum amount of air that a person can exhale once he has filled his lungs with maximum air. So, it is like maximum exhalation after maximum inhalation by a person.

Vital capacity is also equal to Forced Vital Capacity.

Lung usually have their maximum capacity in early adult days and this capacity reduces as the person grows older. So age is the prime factor in this.

A female with same age and height as that of male will have 10-12% less vital capacity than him. So sex is another reason which determines vital capacity.

Person with more height has more vital capacity. This is because lungs capacity is closely related to the third power of person's height.

Person suffering from obesity will have compressed diaphragm, lung and chest cavity , so their vital capacity will be less. So we can say body mass affects vital capacity.

Last factor, ethnicity, is yet to be understood clearly as there is not much evidence of this.

What phenomenon causes the fuzzy image? What kind of lens is used to correct this, and how is it corrected?
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Sample Response: This phenomenon is called chromatic aberration. This happens when light of different wavelengths focuses at different points. A converging lens is used to help light of different wavelengths focuses at a common point.

Diego is trying to lift a piano to the second floor of his house. Diego uses a pulley system and gives a big lift to the piano.T
Mila [183]

Answer:

Correct Answer is positive force → balanced force → negative force

Explanation:

When Diego gives a big lift to the piano with the help of pulley system that time, initially piano moves upward so positive force acts on it.

Later, Piano stops, in this condition balanced force act on it since force applied by Diego is balanced by gravitational force of earth.

After some time piano starts falling in this condition negative force will act on the piano. In this condition, gravitational force will acts on piano in downward direction.

Gamma ray and x Ray I’m pretty sure. Because they have the shortest wavelengths but the highest energy wave. Hope this helped :)
