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. How does the speed of light in a vacuum change when observed from two different frames of reference?
anyanavicka [17]

a) It is absolute, so it does not change.

b) Inertial ones.

c) Inside the train the time will slow down relatively to the outside clock. So if one travel at nearly the speed if light for 2 hours on his clock, for outdoor observers it will look like 3 hours.

Two resistors, of R1 = 3.11 Ω and R2 = 6.15 Ω, are connected in series to a battery with an EMF of 24.0 V and negligible interna
Firlakuza [10]
Part (a):
1- Since the resistors are in series, therefore, the total resistance is the summation of the two resistors.
Therefore:
Rtotal = R1 + R2 = 3.11 + 6.15 = 9.26 ohm

2- Since the two resistors are in series, therefore, the current flowing in both is the same. We will use ohm's law to get the current as follows:
V = I*R
V is the voltage of the battery = 24 v
I is the current we want to get
R is the total resistance = 9.26 ohm
Therefore:
24 = 9.26*I
I = 24 / 9.26
I = 2.59 ampere

Part (b):
To get the voltage across the second resistor, we will again use Ohm's law as follows:
V = I*R
V is the voltage we want to get
I is the current in the second resistor = 2.59 ampere
R is the value of the second resistor = 6.15 ohm
Therefore:
V = I*R
V = 2.59 * 6.15
V = 15.9285 volts

Hope this helps :)

At the instant shown in the diagram, the car's centripetal acceleration is directed
serg [7]

Answer:

At the instant shown in the diagram, the car's centripetal acceleration is directed is discussed below in detail.

Explanation:

The direction of the centripetal acceleration is in a circular movement is forever towards the middle of the roundabout pathway. In the picture displayed, the East direction is approaching the center. So, the course of the car's centripetal acceleration is (H) toward the east.
