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

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

We measure the loudness of sound in decibels.<br> a. True<br> b. False
Tatiana [17]

Answer: The correct answer is True.

Explanation:

Loudness of sound is referred to how soft or loud a sound is for the listener.

This term is measured in a unit known as decibels referred to as dB.

This unit is used to measure the relative intensity of sounds on a scale from zero to 100 dB.

More the value of decibels, it will be uncomfortable for a person to hear that sound.

So Yes, the loudness of sound is measured in decibels.

The speed of water flowing through the 4in diameter section of the piping system is 3ft/s. What is the volume flow rate of water
olga_2 [115]
1 ft =12 in 
4 in = 0.333 ft 
volume = (п/4)*(0.333)² = 0.087 ft²
vol. flow = spead *volume
              =3 ft/s * 0.087 ft² 

vol flow = 0.261 ft³/s

A 1400 kg car traveling at 17.0 m/s to the south collides with a 4700 kg truck that is at rest. The car and truck stick together
STatiana [176]

Answer:

Final velocity = 7.677 m/s

KE before crash = 202300 J

KE after crash = 182,702.62 J

Explanation:

We are given;

m1 = 1400 kg

m2 = 4700 kg

u1 = 17 m/s

u2 = 0 m/s

Using formula for inelastic collision, we have;

m1•u1 + m2•u2 = (m1 + m2)v

Where v is final velocity after collision.

Plugging in the relevant values;

(1400 × 17) + (4700 × 0) = (1400 + 1700)v

23800 = 3100v

v = 23800/3100

v = 7.677 m/s

Kinetic energy before crash = ½ × 1400 × 17² = 202300 J

Kinetic energy after crash = ½(1400 + 1700) × 7.677² = 182,702.62 J
