Two ice skaters suddenly push off against one another starting from a stationary position. The 45-kg skater acquires a speed of

0.375 m/s relative to the ice. What speed does the 60-kg

Answer:

The speed is v_2 =  0.2813 \ m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The mass of the first skater is m_1 =  45 \ kg

    The final speed of the first skater is v_1 = 0.375 \ m/ s

    The mass of the second skater is m_2 = 60 \ kg

According to the principle of linear momentum conservation

     Initial  \ momentum  =  final  \  momentum

Here  Initial momentum =  (m_1 + m_2) * u

Since they they started from a stationary position

      u = 0

So

    Initial \ momentum =  0 \ m/s

While  

     final \ momentum =  m_1* v_1 + m_2 * v_2

substituting values

       final \ momentum = (45 * 0.375) +(60 * v_2)

So   (45 * 0.375) +(60 * v_2) = 0

=>    v_2 =  0.2813 \ m/s

Which of these steps would most likely be part of a lab procedure?
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

These are a part of lab procedures:

1. Write a hypothesis to answer a question.

2. Write a title at the top of a completed lab report.

3. Record the time to complete a chemical reaction.

These are NOT a part of lab procedures:

1. Create a question on the cause of a chemical reaction.

The diagram shows two forces of equal magnitude acting on an object. If the common magnitude of the forces is 3.6 N and the angl
Nuetrik [128]
<h3>Answer</h3>

6.6 N pointing to the right

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Given that,

two forces acting of magnitude 3.6N

angle between them = 48°

To find,

the third force that will cause the object to be in equilibrium

<h3>1)</h3>

Find the vertical and horizontal components of the two forces

vertical force1 = sin(24)(3.6)

vertical force2= -sin(24)(3.6)

<em>(negative sign since it is acting on opposite direction)</em>

vertical force3 = sin(24)(3.6) - sin(24)(3.6)

                        = 0

<h3>2)</h3>

horizontal force1 = cos(24)(3.6)

horizontal force2= cos(24)(3.6)

horizontal force3 = cos(24)(3.6) + cos(24)(3.6)

                            = 2(cos(24)(3.6))

                            = 6.5775 N

                            ≈ 6.6 N

A metal wire is in thermal contact with two heat reservoirs at both of its ends. Reservoir 1 is at a temperature of 563 K, and r
Schach [20]

Answer:

1.85 J/K

Explanation:

The computation of total change in entropy is shown below:-

Change in Entropy = Sum Q ÷ T

= \frac{-heat\ entering\ the\ reservoir}{Reservoir\ 1\ Temperature} + \frac{Conduction\ of\ heat}{Reservoir\ 2\ Temperature}

= \frac{-1760}{563} + \frac{1760}{354}

= -3.12 + 4.97

= 1.85 J/K

Therefore for computing the total change in entropy we simply applied the above formula.

As we can see that there is heat entering the reservoir so it will be negative while cold reservoir will be positive else the process would be impossible.
