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 base is a substance that's the chemical opposite of an acid.<br> True or false
anygoal [31]

True

Explanation:

A base is a substance that is often used as the chemical opposite of an acid.

Both behaves in opposite way to one another.

They can be said to complementary or conjugate chemicals.

  • According to Bronsted-Lowry  theory, an acid is a proton donor and a base is a proton acceptor.
  • The lewis theory states that an acid is an electron pair acceptor while a base is an electron pair donor.

Answer:

The transverse component of acceleration is 26.32 m/s^2 where as radial the component of acceleration is 8.77 m/s^2

Explanation:

As per the given data

u=π/4 rad

ω=u'=2 rad/s

α=u''=4 rad/s

r=e^u

So the transverse component of acceleration are given as

a_{\theta}=(ru''+2r'u')\\

Here

r=e^u\\r=e^{\pi/4}\\r=2.1932 m

r'=e^u.u'\\r'=2.1932 \times 2\\r'=4.3864 m

So

a_{\theta}=(ru''+2r'u')\\a_{\theta}=(2.1932\times 4+2\times 4.3864 \times 2)\\a_{\theta}=26.32 m/s\\

The transverse component of acceleration is 26.32 m/s^2

The radial component is given as

a_r=r''-r\theta'^2

Here

r''=e^u.u'^2+e^u u''\\r''=2.1932 \times (2)^2+2.1932\times 4\\r''=17.5456 m

So

a_r=r''-ru'^2\\a_r=17.5456-2.1932\times (2)^2\\a_r=8.7728 m/s^2

The radial component of acceleration is 8.77 m/s^2

Will mark as brainliest if correct!!!!!!!!
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

Light refracts when its speed changes as it enters a new medium.

Explanation:

Bending of light wave while it entering a medium with different speed is called refraction of light. Light passing from a faster medium to the slower medium bends the light rays toward the normal to boundary between two media. The amount of the  bending of light depends on refractive index of the two media which is described by  the Snell's Law. The angle of incidence is not equal to  angle of refraction. Rainbow is caused but this refraction phenomena. Also Refraction is used in magnifying glasses, prism and lenses
