Two students, sitting on frictionless carts, push against each other. Both are initially at rest and the mass of student 1 and t

he cart is M, and that of student 2 and the cart is 1.5M. If student 1 pushes student 2 so that she recoils with velocity v,  what is the velocity of student 2.

Answer:

  v₂ = v/1.5= 0.667 v

Explanation:

For this exercise we will use the conservation of the moment, for this we will define a system formed by the two students and the cars, for this isolated system the forces during the contact are internal, therefore the moment conserves.

Initial moment before pushing

    p₀ = 0

Final moment after they have been pushed

    p_{f} = m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂

   p₀ =  p_{f}

   0 = m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂

   m₁ v₁ = - m₂ v₂

Let's replace

   M (-v) = -1.5M v₂

   v₂ = v / 1.5

  v₂ = 0.667 v

Rupert (66 kg) is now in a full-pipe of radius 25 m, calculate the minimum speed at which Rupert can skate to ensure he will not
V125BC [204]

at the top most point if Rupert will not fall then normal force at the top point is almost zero for minimum speed

so here we can say

F_n + mg = m\frac{v^2}{R}

now if

F_n = 0

mg = \frac{mv^2}{R}

v = \sqrt{Rg}

v = \sqrt{25 \times 9.8}

v = 15.65 m/s

so above will be the minimum speed

IN WHAT WAY HAS TECHNOLOGY USED ABOARD THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION BENEFITTED HUMANS BACK ON EARTH?
drek231 [11]

Answer

The ways are;

• By commercializing low earth orbit

• By supporting water purification efforts worldwide

• By bringing space station ultrasound equipment on earth

• By improving eye surgery with space hardware

Explanation

There is a revolutionary commercial pathways that is currently opening access to space.For example, NASA is purchasing commercial cargo resupply to space station which enable U.S business to develop a competition in selling services to others while freeing NASA resources for deep space exploration. Using  technology developed in space, the Water Security Corporation has deployed systems using NASA water-processing technology to ensure drinkable water availability for human survival. Medical care in remote regions is now  facilitated by use of small ultrasound units, tele-medicine  and remote guided methods similar to those used in space. The Eye Tracking Device experiment has enable researchers to have an insight into corrective laser surgeries.

True or False. Father of a multitude" obeyed God's command to kill His son because the Ten Commandments had not yet been given.
velikii [3]

Answer:

Explanation:

The father of the Multitude was Abraham. And he did precede the 10 commandments. But the story really has nothing to do with the 10 commandments.

He obeyed God's Command because it was God who issued it. Abraham had complete faith in God's ability to make things come out right. The sacrifice of Isaac was a test of faith.

I would advise you to answer true, but whoever wrote the question employed a twisted kind of logic. The sacrifice of Isaac had nothing to do with the 10 commandments. <u><em>Thou Shalt not murde</em></u>r is not really covered by this circumstance.

So true might not be the correct answer. The question is very complex and does not lend itself to a simple True/ False answer.
