Answer:

The mass of the second boy is, m = 29.77 kg

Explanation:

Given data,

The mass of first boy, M = 43.8 kg

The velocity of first boy, V = -2.1 m/s

The velocity of second boy, v = 3.09 m/s

Then mass of second boy, m = ?

According to the law of conservation of momentum,

                                    mv + MV = 0

                                     m = - MV / v

Substituting the values,

                                     m = 43.8 x 2.1 / 3.09

                                      m = 29.77 kg

Hence, the mass of the second boy is, m = 29.77 kg

kogti [31]

Answer:

Part a)

a = (0.64\hat i - 0.5 \hat j)m/s^2

Part b)

a = (0.64\hat i + 5.21 \hat j)m/s^2

Part c)

a = (4.92\hat i - 0.5 \hat j)m/s^2

Explanation:

As per Newton's II law we know that

F = ma

so we will have

a = \frac{F}{m}

so we will have

a = \frac{F_1 + F_2}{m}

Part a)

a = \frac{(3.9 \hat i + 3.3 \hat j) + (-3\hat i - 4\hat j)}{1.4}

a = \frac{0.9 \hat i - 0.7 \hat j}{1.4}

a = (0.64\hat i - 0.5 \hat j)m/s^2

Part b)

a = \frac{(3.9 \hat i + 3.3 \hat j) + (-3\hat i + 4\hat j)}{1.4}

a = \frac{0.9 \hat i + 7.3 \hat j}{1.4}

a = (0.64\hat i + 5.21 \hat j)m/s^2

Part c)

a = \frac{(3.9 \hat i + 3.3 \hat j) + (3\hat i - 4\hat j)}{1.4}

a = \frac{6.9 \hat i - 0.7 \hat j}{1.4}

a = (4.92\hat i - 0.5 \hat j)m/s^2

Which celestial body would have the strongest gravitational pull on a satellite orbiting 100 km above its surface?
8090 [49]
According to the Law of Universal Gravitation, the gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass, and inversely proportional to the distance. In this problem, let's assume the celestial bodies to be restricted to the planets and the Sun. Since the distance is specified, the other factor would be the mass. Among all the celestial bodies, the Sun is the most massive. So, the Sun would cause the strongest gravitational pull to the satellite.

A mass is tied to a string and swung in a horizontal circle with a constant angular speed. show answer No Attempt If this speed
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

The tension in the string is quadrupled i.e. increased by a factor of 4.

Explanation:

The tension in the string is the centripetal force. This force is given by

F = \dfrac{mv^2}{r}

m is the mass, v is the velocity and r is the radius.

It follows that F \propto v^2, provided m and r are constant.

When v is doubled, the new force, F_1, is

F_1 = \dfrac{m(2v)^2}{r} = \dfrac{4mv^2}{r} = 4\dfrac{mv^2}{r} = 4F

Hence, the tension in the string is quadrupled.

Why are the poles and slightly lower latitudes so cold in the summertime when they receive almost 24 hours of daylight? I know t
castortr0y [4]

Explanation:

As the earth travels around the sun in the elliptical orbit it must also be know that the axis of the earth is tilted as well.

  • So when the earth is at the farthest point and the tilt of the earth's axis is towards the sun in that case the sun rays always incident on the surface of the earth near the poles and hence there is sunlight for the 24 hours of the day. But the intensity of these rays is very low because of the their slanted angle of incident. In other words the same sun rays cover a larger area and the luminous intensity is reduced.
  • When the earth is near to the sun we have an increased average temperature of the day during that phase giving us an experience of summer season and vice-versa is the condition in winter seasons. The tilt of the earths axis is responsible for variation in extremities of the seasons with respect to the geographical location.
