A book is sliding to a stop while moving across the classroom floor

A 90. 0-kg ice hockey player hits a 0. 150-kg puck, giving the puck a velocity of 45. 0 m/s. If both are initially at rest and i

The distance traveled by the hockey player is 0.025 m.

<h3>The principle of conservation of linear momentum;</h3>

The principle of conservation of linear momentum states that, the total momentum of an isolated system is always conserved.

The final velocity of the hockey play is calculated by applying the principle of conservation of linear momentum;

$m_1v_1 = m_2 v_2\\\\v_1 = \frac{m_2 v_2}{m_1} \\\\v_1 = \frac{0.150 \times 45}{90} \\\\v_1 = 0.075 \ m/s$

The time taken for the puck to reach 15 m is calculated as follows;

$t = \frac{d}{v} \\\\t = \frac{15\ m}{45 \ m/s} \\\\t = 0.33 \ s$

The distance traveled by the hockey player at the calculated time is;

$d = vt\\\\d = 0.075 \ m/s \ \times 0.33 \ s\\\\d = 0.025 \ m$

Reciprocal liking is adaptive because it lowers the risk of relationship rejection.

Mila [183]

I believe that the statement above is TRUE. I can say that it's true because based on the definition of what reciprocal liking is, this is the probability of having to like someone who also likes them in return. Therefore, if they like each other, this means that there is a low risk of rejection in the relationship.

Skin is the main barrier between internal organs and the outside environment. The outer layer of skin is composed mostly of epit

vagabundo [1.1K]

The characteristic of epithelial cells that makes them ideal for providing this type of protection is that the cells are packed tightly together.
Skin, the body's largest organ,is our first and best defense against external aggressors. The many layers work hard to protect us, however when its condition is compromised, its ability to work as an effective barrier is impaired.

The magnitude of the tension in the string marked A is 52.5N

Generally, the equation for is mathematically given as

Let's take θ be an angle at A

So, tanθ = 3/8

Let's take α be an angle at B (Below X)

tanα = 5/4

Let's take β be an angle at C (Below x)
