1.Two skaters, Evelyn and Lily, face each other on near frictionless ice. Evelyn has a mass of 57.4 kg, and Lily has a mass of 4

8.3 kg. Both are motionless until they push away with a force of 33 N. Then Evelyn has a velocity of 1.4 m/s. What is Lily's velocity

Answer:

-1.67 m/s

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of momentum: in fact, since the system is isolated (no external forces, since the ice is frictionless), the total momentum of Evelyin and Lily must be conserved.

The total momentum before is zero, since they are both at rest:

p_i = 0

The total momentum after is:

p_f = mv+MV

where

m = 48.3 kg is Lily's mass

M = 57.4 kg is Evelyin's mass

V = 1.4 m/s is Evelyn's velocity

v is the Lily's velocity

Since momentum is conserved,

p_i=p_f

And so

0=mv+MV

Solving for v, we find Lily's velocity:

v=-\frac{MV}{m}=-\frac{(57.4)(1.4)}{48.3}=-1.67 m/s

And the negative sign indicates that her direction is opposite to Evelyn's direction.

A force of 100. newtons is used to move an object a distance of 15 meters with a power of 25 watts. Find the time it takes to do
Flauer [41]
<h3>It takes 60 seconds to do the work</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

Force = 100 newtons

Distance = 15 meters

Power = 25 watts

To find: time it takes to do the work

<em><u>Find the work done:</u></em>

work = force \times displacement\\\\work = 100\ newtons \times 15\ meters\\\\work = 1500\ joule

<em><u>Find the time taken</u></em>

power = \frac{work}{time}\\\\25\ watts = \frac{1500\ joule}{time}\\\\time = \frac{1500\ joule}{25\ watt}\\\\time = 60\ second

Thus it takes 60 seconds to do the work

If you wish to observe features that are around the size of atoms, say 5.5 × 10^-10 m, with electromagnetic radiation, the radia
Tanya [424]

Answer:

a) 5.5×10^17 Hz

b) visible light

Explanation:

Since the wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation must be about the size of the about itself, this implies that;

λ= 5.5 × 10^-10 m

Since;

c= λ f and c= 3×10^8 ms-1

f= c/λ

f= 3×10^8/5.5 × 10^-10

f= 5.5×10^17 Hz

The electromagnetic wave is visible light

What is the purpose of each of the components (each shown with leader and line) of the circuit shown is the diagram?
NemiM [27]

The wires is what is needed to put together the whole thing, kinda like glue when you're gluing a piece of paper on it.

Anyways, the battery is the main source and main energy per say.

That energy that comes from the battery, thanks to the wires, it can transfer that said energy to both the switch and light bulb.

And as you flick the switch, it depends of how you put it together, there's two options, turning the light bulb on or turning it off.

Though it doesn't mean that since the light bulb is connected to the battery makes the bulb turn on no matter what since the switch can cancel the main source's energy.
