Two skaters, one with mass 52.5 kg and the other with mass 26.3 kg, stand on an ice rink holding a pole with a length of 5.00 m

and a negligible mass. Starting from the ends of the pole, the skaters pull themselves along the pole until they meet. How far will the 26.3 kg skater move?

Answer: 10.02m

Explanation: Given

M1 = 26.3kg

M2 = 52.5kg

d = 5m

If the systems centre of mass does not change, the two skaters will definitely meet at the centre of mass.

If the 26.3kg skater is a m away from the centre of the mass, then the 52.5kg skater is (5-a) m away from the centre of the mass. Thus,

M1a + M2(5-a) = 0

26.3a + 52.5(5-a) = 0

26.3 a + 262.5 - 52.5a = 0

-26.2a + 262.5 = 0

26.2a = 262.5

a = 262.5/26.2

a = 10.02m

Answer:

3200 m/s

Explanation:

The speed of Sound through Argon is 319.

The speed of sound in any chemical element in the fluid phase has one temperature-dependent value. In the solid phase, different types of sound wave may be propagated, each with its own speed: among these types of wave are longitudinal (as in fluids), transversal, and (along a surface or plate) extensional.

If argon could exist as solid, then 3200 m/s is the best speed.
