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

A ball is dropped from rest at the top of a 6.10 m
natita [175]

Answer:

n = 5 approx

Explanation:

If v be the velocity before the contact with the ground and v₁ be the velocity of bouncing back

\frac{v_1}{v} = e ( coefficient of restitution ) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{10} }

and

\frac{v_1}{v} = \sqrt{\frac{h_1}{6.1} }

h₁ is height up-to which the ball bounces back after first bounce.

From the two equations we can write that

e = \sqrt{\frac{h_1}{6.1} }

e = \sqrt{\frac{h_2}{h_1} }

So on

e^n = \sqrt{\frac{h_1}{6.1} }\times \sqrt{\frac{h_2}{h_1} }\times... \sqrt{\frac{h_n}{h_{n-1} }

(\frac{1}{\sqrt{10} })^n=\frac{2.38}{6.1}= .00396

Taking log on both sides

- n / 2 = log .00396

n / 2 = 2.4

n = 5 approx

According to the Standard Model of Particle Physics, a neutrino is a type of
Liono4ka [1.6K]
The standard model of particle physics classifies all known particles and documents three of the fundamental forces. A neutrino is an almost massless sub-atomic particle with no charge that only interacts with matter very weakly. Neutrinos are classified as fermions which means they have half-integer intrinsic spin.

A body is placed on a rough inclined plane. Why does the frictional force decrease with the increase of angle of inclination
kondor19780726 [428]
The frictional force is directly proportional to the force that is perpendicular on the surface.

When the body is placed on a horizontal level with zero inclination, the only force acting on the body is the gravitational force which always pulls the body down. The gravitational force, in this case, is the perpendicular force to the surface. Accordingly, this entire force is used to generate friction

Now as the inclination of the surface increases, the gravitational force is no longer the perpendicular force of the body, its value decreases, which means only a part is used to generate frictional force. Consequently, frictional force decreases.

When the inclination reaches 90 degrees, the gravitational force does not act along the normal and accordingly, no friction force is generated.

If the phase of the vibrating sources was changed so that they were vibrating completely out of phase, what effect would this ha
Over [174]

Answer:

There would be complete destructive interference.

Explanation:

This is because since the waves are completely out of phase, the phase difference is half wavelength, that is the phase angle is 180°. The vibrating sources are 180° out of phase with each other.

Since this is the case, the crest of the one source meets the trough of the other, this causes the resultant vibrational wave to cancel out, thus producing a destructive interference pattern.

Since the vibrating sources are completely out of phase, every point they meet is completely out of phase, so the resultant interference pattern would produce a complete destructive interference pattern of no wave.

How long it takes to reach maximum height in seconds
olganol [36]
The dotted path is the path of the ball. it reaches it's maximum height at the top where vertical, y-velocity = 0
The initial y-velocity = 19sin(70°)
initial y-velocity = 17.85 m/s

Use one of the kinematic equations with velocity and time. No displacement because we don't want to worry about figuring that out.

v = u - gt
0 = 17.85 - 9.8t
-17.85 = -9.8t
17.85/9.8 = t
1.82 sec = t
