Answer:

C. Sakter 1 has Greater velocity than skater 2.

Explanation:

This concept can be explained using the concept of collision between two particles with different masses. When both the masses pull each other, smaller skater will acquire the greater velocity due to its less mass. While the greater skater will have lower velocity due to its greater mass. Hence, C is the right answer.

As the momentum is the product of mass and velocity, therefore change in momentum in both the skaters will be equal. It is obvious that both skaters have unequal masses and velocity but the product of mass and velocity for them is equal. Hence, option A and B are not right answers.

When both skaters pull each other, they exert force on each other. According to newton’s third law of motion action and reaction forces are equal and are in opposite direction. So, the forces which both skaters will experieces are equal. Hence, D is also not a right answer.

As both the skater pushed each other with a force, skater 1 will acquire greater velocity than skater 2 with heavier mass.

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

Here we can understand the scenario with the example of a particle collision. When two particles of different masses, one being lighter and the other being heavier, there will be a movement and change in velocities.

Now, when these two particle collide with each other, there will be an equal and opposite thrust or reaction on both the particles. The particle with heavier mass will not be able to acquire more velocity because of its weight whereas the lighter particle will be pushed far away, being less in mass.

We can also say that the heavier particle will exert more force as compared to the lighter one and hence, can easily push it far away. this is all because the force is directly proportional to the mass of the object.

Hence, just like the particle, when two skater try to push each other with a significant amount of force, skater 2 will win to exert more force and therefore, skater 1 will acquire greater velocity as compared to skater 2.

The choices can be found elsewhere and as follows:

A anthropocentric 

B frontier 

C land

D biocentric


I think the correct answer is option A. It is anthropocentric the type of ethic that is life-centered and views humans as just one component life on Earth. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

Which describes the average velocity of an ant traveling at a constant speed
yanalaym [24]

Answer: A. The total displacement divided by the time and  C. The slope of the ant's displacement vs. time graph.

Explanation:

Hi! The question seems incomplete, but I found the options on the internt:

A. The total displacement divided by the time.

B. The slope of the ant's acceleration vs. time graph.

C. The slope of the ant's displacement vs. time graph.

D. The average acceleration divided by the time.

Now, since we know the ant is travelling at a constant speed, its average velocity V will be expressed by the following equation:

V=\frac{d}{t}

Where:

d is the ant's total displacement

t is the time it took to the ant to travel to the kitchen

Hence one of the correct options is: A. The total displacement divided by the time

On the other hand, this can be expressed by a displacement vs. time graph graph, where the slope of that line leads to the equation written above. So, the other correct option is: C. The slope of the ant's displacement vs. time graph.

An electron of mass 9.11x10^-31 kg has an initial speed of 2.40x10^5 m/s. It travels in a straight line, and its speed increases
egoroff_w [7]

Answer: A) Force = 3.841*10^-18 N.

B) force (f) is 4.30* 10^12 times greater than the weight (Fg).

Explanation: mass of electronic charge = 9.11*10^-31kg

v = final velocity = 6.80*10^5 m/s

u = initial velocity = 2.40 * 10^5 m/s

S= distance covered = 4.8cm = 0.048m

a = acceleration

Since the acceleration of the electron is assumed to be constant, newton's laws of motion are valid.

Thus, recall that

v² = u² + 2aS

(6.80*10^5)² = ( 2.40*10^5)² + 2*a( 0.048)

46.24 * 10^10 = 5.76 * 10^10 + 0.096a

46.24 *10^10 - 5.76* 10^10 = 0.096a

40.48* 10^10 = 0.096a

a = 40.48 * 10^10/0.096

a = 4.2167*10^12m/s².

Force = mass * acceleration

Force = 9.11*10^-31 * 4.2167*10^12

Force = 3.841*10^-18 N.

Weight =Fg= mg where g = acceleration due gravity = 9.8m/s²

Fg= 9.11*10^-31 * 9.8

Fg = 8.9278* 10^-30 N

By comparing the force and the weight, we have that

F/Fg = 3.841 * 10^-18/8.9278 * 10^-30 = 4.30* 10^12.

This implies that the force (f) is 4.30* 10^12 times greater than the weight (Fg).
