Two acrobats flying through the air grab and hold onto each other in midair as part of a circus act.One acrobat has a mass of 60

kg and has a horizontal velocity of 5 m/s just before the grab.Another acrobat has a mass of 50 kg and has a horizontal velocity of -3 m/s just before the grab.Their horizontal velocity immediately after they grab onto each other is:

Answer:

1.36m/s

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of one acrobat,m_1=60 kg

Mass of another acrobat,m_2=50 kg

v_2=-3 m/s

v_1=5 m/s

We have to find their  velocity immediately after they grab  onto each other.

The collision between two acrobat is inelastic

According to law of conservation of momentum

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)V

Substitute the values

60\times 5+50(-3)=(60+50)V

300-150=110V

V=\frac{300-150}{110}=1.36m/s

A player strikes a hockey puck giving it a velocity of 30.252 m/s. The puck slides across the ice for 0.267 s after which time i
erica [24]

Answer:

The average drag force is  1.206 (-i)  N

Explanation:

You have to apply the equations of<em> Impulse</em>:

I=FmedΔt

Where I and Fmed (the average force) are vectors.

The Impulse can also be expressed as the change in the <em>quantity of motion</em> (vector P)

I=P2-P1

P=mV (m is the mass and v is the velocity)

You can calculate the quantity of motion at the beggining and at the end of the given time:

Replace the mass in kg, dividing the mass by 1000 to convert it from g to kg.

P1=(0.179kg)(30.252m/s) i=  5.414 i kg.m/s

P2=0.179kg)(28.452m/s) i = 5.092 i kg. m/s

Where i is the unit vector in the x-direction.

Therefore:

I= 5.092 i - 5.414 i = -0.322 i

The average drag force is:

Fmed= I/Δt = -0.322 i/ 0.267s = -1.206 i N

Which term describes the point when two objects reach the same temperature and there is no longer a transfer of energy through h
yaroslaw [1]
The term you need to know is equilibrium. Technically it means that heat gained = heat lost. Normally in beginning chemistry classes the evidence for this condition is a stable temperature.

Provide a brief summary of your selected animal, and describe why it is not extinct.
mina [271]
I'm going to say a Human.



In one simple statement, Humans have survived all of earth's devastation because of evolution. At one point it is believed that the earth had changing conditions including that some of the food that we hunted in waters became extinct. Then, as lack of food grew, We gained the ability to walk on land. As this happened, we began to adapt to our surroundings, including gaining the ability to walk on two legs and use tools
