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.

2) Two ice skaters have masses m1 and m2 and are initially stationary. Their skates are identical. They push against one another
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

m_1 / m_2 = sqrt (1 / 2)

Explanation:

Given:

- Initial velocity of both skaters V_i = 0

- Velocity of skater 1 after push = V_1

- Velocity of skater  after push = V_2

- Distance traveled by skater 1 = s_1

- Distance traveled by skater 2 = s_2

- s_1 = 2*s_2

- Accelerations of both skaters to halt is equal

Find:

What is the ratio m1/m2 of their masses

Solution:

- Apply conservation of momentum for two skaters just before and after the push as follows:

                                              P_i = P_f

                                  0 = m_1*V_1 - m_2*V_2

- Evaluate:                 m_1 / m_2 = ( V_2 / V_1 )

- Apply Conservation of Energy on both skaters as follows:

- Skater 1:

                               0.5*m_1*V_1^2 = u_k*m_1*g*s_1

-Simplify:                      0.5*V_1^2 = u_k*g*(2*s_2)

- Skater 2:

                               0.5*m_2*V_2^2 = u_k*m_2*g*s_2

-Simplify:                      0.5*V_2^2 = u_k*g*s_2

- Divide the two energy equations for skaters:

                                    (V_1 / V_2)^2 = 2

                                    (V_2 / V_1)^2 = 1 / 2

- simplify:                     (V_2 / V_1) = sqrt (1 / 2)

-Hence from earlier momentum conservation results:

                                  m_1 / m_2 = ( V_2 / V_1 ) = sqrt (1 / 2)

A battery does work on electric charges to bring them to a position of higher electric potential energy so that they can flow th
Ipatiy [6.2K]
(Missing question is: which of the following statements are true?)

a) <span>A battery does work on electric charges to bring them to a position of higher electric potential energy so that they can flow through a circuit to a lower potential energy --> TRUE
That's true: the battery does the work to move the charges to one end of its terminal thus creating a potential difference between the two terminals. Then, when it is connected to the circuit, charges start to flow to the terminal at lower potential (through the circuit)

b) </span><span>the potential difference between the terminals of a battery, when no current flows to an external circuit, is referred to as the terminal voltage --> FALSE
This is false: when no current flows, it is called e.m.f. (electromotive force)

c) </span><span>the internal resistance of a battery decreases with decreasing temperature 
--> TRUE
In fact, the dependence of a resistance with the temperature is:
</span>R=R_0[1+\alpha (T-T_0)]
with \alpha being generally positive, therefore the value of the resistance is proportional to T, and when T decreases, R decreases as well.

<span>d) a battery is a device that produces electricity by transforming chemical energy into electrical energy --> TRUE
</span><span>That's true: a battery uses chemical reactions to create a potential difference between the two terminals that can be exploited to make charges flowing through a circuit.

The speed of an object and the direction in which it moves constitute a vector quantity known as the velocity. an ostrich is run
Orlov [11]
Velocity of an object is its rate of change of the object's position per interval of time. Velocity is a vector quantity which means that it consists of a magnitude and a direction. Magnitude is represented by the speed and the direction is represented by the angle. To determine the velocity components, we use trigonometric functions to determine the angle of the components. For the north component we, use the sine function while, for the west component, we use the cosine function. We calculate as follows:
north velocity component = (16.8 m/s) (sin 54°) = 16.4 m/s
<span>west velocity component = (16.8 m/s) (cos 54°) = 3.49 m/s</span>
