Answer:

Before: 0 m/s

After: -4 m/s

Explanation:

Before: Since you and your beau started at rest, your beau initial velocity is 0 m/s.

After: Since we have to conserve momentum,

momentum before push = momentum after push.

The momentum before push = 0 (since you and your beau are at rest)

momentum after push = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ were m₁ = your mass = 60 kg, v₁ = your velocity after push = 3 m/s, m₂ = beau's mass = 45 kg and v₂ = beau's velocity.

So, m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = 0

m₁v₁ = -m₂v₂

v₂ = -m₁v₁/m₂ = -60 kg × 3 m/s ÷ 45 kg = -4 m/s

So beau moves with a velocity of 4 m/s in the opposite direction

Answer:

$\omega'=19.419\ rev.s^{-1}$

Explanation:

Given:

angular speed of rotation of friction-less platform, $\omega=5.1\ rev.s^{-1}$

moment of inertia with extended weight, $I=9.9\ kg.m^2$

moment of inertia with contracted weight, $I'=2.6\ kg.m^2$

<u>Now we use the law of conservation of angular momentum:</u>

$I.\omega=I'.\omega'$

$9.9\times 5.1=2.6\times \omega'$

$\omega'=19.419\ rev.s^{-1}$

The angular speed becomes faster as the mass is contracted radially near to the axis of rotation.

Answer:

support lights as a wave

Explanation:

In the model of light as a particle, the experimenter would expect to see one small hole of light emerging on the wall. However, as the light spreads out, it behaves much like a wave that diffracts when going through a small hole.

Answer:

1 ohm is equal to one volt (V)/ one ampere (1A) 1 Ohm is defined as the resistance of a conductor with a potential difference of 1 volt applied to the ends through which 1-ampere current flows. Ohms is the SI unit of electrical resistance.
