Answer: 4 they both experienced same magnitude of force.

Explanation:

According to Newton's 3rd law of motion,it implies that for every force exerted by an object on another object is the same magnitude directed back.

The force the VW beetle has when it hits the mosquito was the same force exerted on the mosquito on impact.

Therefore the magnitude of their forces are the same.

A water-skier is moving at a speed of 14.3 m/s. When she skis in the same direction as a traveling wave, she springs upward ever

kiruha [24]

Answer:

a) 1.95 m/s

b) 5.56 m

Explanation:

Given that:

Velocity of the skier $(V_s)$ = 14.3 m/s

For the skier moving in the direction of the wave, we have:

Period (T) = 0.450 s

Relative velocity (V) of the skier in regard with the wave = $(V_s - V_w)$

where:

$V_s$ = velocity of the skier

$V_w$ = velocity of the wave

The wavelength $(\lambda)$ can be written as:

$\lambda = (V_s-V_w)T$

$\lambda = (V_s-V_w) 0.450m$ ---------------> Equation (1)

For the skier moving opposite in the direction of the wave, we have:

Period (T) = 0.342 s

Relative velocity (V) of the skier in regard with the wave = $(V_s + V_w)$

The wavelength $(\lambda)$ can be written as:

$\lambda = (V_s+V_w)T$

$\lambda = (V_s+V_w) 0.342m$ ------------------> Equation 2

Equating equation (1) and equation (2) and substituting $V_s$ = 14.3 m/s ; we have:

$(V_s-V_w) 0.450m = (V_s-V_w) 0.342m$

$0.450m(V_s)-0.450m(V_w) = 0.342m(V_s)+0.342m(V_w)$

Collecting the like terms; we have:

$0.450m(V_s) - 0.342m(V_s) = 0.342m(V_w)+0.450m(V_w)$

$(V_s)(0.450m - 0.342m) = (V_w)0.342m+0.450m$

$14.3m/s(0.450m - 0.342m) = (V_w)0.342m+0.450m$

$14.3m/s(0.108m = (V_w)0.792m$

$1.5444m^2/s = (V_w)0.792m$

$(V_w) = \frac{1.5444m^2/s}{ 0.792m}$

$(V_w) = 1.95 m/s$

b)

The Wavelength of the wave can be calculated using : $( \lambda }) = (V_s-V_w) 0.450m$

$({\lambda}) = (14.3 m/s -1.95 m/s)(0.450)$

$(\lambda) = (12.35)0.450m$

$(\lambda)= 5.5575 m$

λ ≅ 5.56 m
