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

A particle moves at a constant speed of 34 m/s in a circular path of radius 6.3 m. From this information, what can be calculated
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

Centripetal acceleration

Explanation:

  • The centripetal acceleration is the motion inwards towards the center of a circular path.
  • <em><u>Centripetal acceleration is given by; the square of the velocity, divided by the radius of the circular path. </u></em>
  • That is;

         ac = v²/r

         Where; ac = acceleration, centripetal, m/s², v is the velocity, m/s and r is the  radius, m
