Answer

given,

initial speed of hockey player= 0 m/s

mass of the helmet, m = 1.3 Kg

initial speed of the helmet, u = 0 m/s

final speed of the helmet, v = 6 m/s

recoil speed of the hockey player, v' = 0.25 m/s

we need to calculate the mass of the hockey player, M = ?

using conservation of momentum

m u + M u' = M v' + m v

initial speed of ice skater is zero

1.3 x 0 + M x 0 =  M x (-0.25) + 1.3 x 6

negative sign is taken because recoil velocity is in opposite direction

0 = -0.25 M + 7.8

0.25 M = 7.8

M = 31.2 Kg

Hence, the mass of the young hockey player is equal to 31.2 Kg

A physics student tests the theory of projectile motion by leaping off a 225 meter tall building. She runs off the building hori
tamaranim1 [39]
In this item, we are given with the x-component of the velocity. The y-component is equal to 0 m/s. The time it takes for it to reach the volume can be related through the equation,

   d = V₀t + 0.5gt²

Substituting the known values,

  225 = (0 m/s)(t) + (0.5)(9.8)(t²)

Simplifying,
 
   t = 6.776 s

To determine the distance of the student from the edge of the building, we multiply the x-component by the calculated time.


   range = (12.5 m/s)(6.776 s)

   range = 84.7 m

<em>Answer: 84.7 m</em>

Sound travels through air at 343 m/s,
sasho [114]

The sound wave will have traveled 2565 m  farther in water than in air.

Answer:

Explanation:

It is known that distance covered by any object is directly proportional to the velocity of the object and the time taken to cover that distance.

Distance = Velocity × Time.

So if time is kept constant, then the distance covered by a wave can vary depending on the velocity of the wave.

As we can see in the present case, the velocity of sound wave in air is 343 m/s. So in 2.25 s, the sound wave will be able to cover the distance as shown below.

Distance = 343 × 2.25 =771.75 m

And for the sound wave travelling in fresh water, the velocity is given as 1483 m/s. So in a time interval of 2.25 s, the distance can be determined as the product of velocity and time.

Distance = 1483×2.25=3337 m.

Since, the velocity of sound wave travelling in fresh water is greater than the sound wave travelling in air, the distance traveled by sound wave in fresh water will be greater.

Difference in distance covered in water and air = 3337-772 m = 2565 m

So the sound wave will have traveled 2565 m  farther in water than in air.
