A 67.5-kg person throws a 0.0410-kg snowball forward with a ground speed of 34.0 m/s. A second person, with a mass of 57.5 kg, c

atches the snowball. Both people are on skates. The first person is initially moving forward with a speed of 3.45 m/s, and the second person is initially at rest. What are the velocities of the two people after the snowball is exchanged?

Answer:

Final velocity of the first person is 3.43m/s and that of the second person is 0.0242m/s

Explanation:

Let the momentum of the first person, the ball second person be Ma, Mb and Mc.

From the principle of the conservation of momentum, sum of the momentum before collision is equal to the sum of the momentum after collision.

Ma1 + Mb1 = Ma2 + Mb2.

The ball and the first person are both moving together with a common velocity 3.45m/s.

Let the velocity of the first person be v1

Therefore

67.5×3.45+ 0.041×3.45= 67.5v1 + 0.041×34

233.02 = 1.39+ 67.5v1

67.5v1 = 233.02 - 1.39 = 231.61

v1 = 231.61 / 67.5

v1 = 3.43m/s

The second person and the ball move together with a common velocity after catching the ball.

For the second person and the ball let their final common velocity be v

Mb2 + Mc2 = Mb3 + Mc3

0.041 × 34 + 57.5 ×0 = (57.5 + 0.041)×v

57.541v = 1.39

v = 1.39 /57.541

v = 0.0242m/s

At what time of day would you be most likely to find that the air over water is significantly warmer than the air over land near
Brut [27]

This would happen later at night or early in the morning.

The reason being land becomes warm and cold quicker than the water because of the heat capacity. So during the day water warms up because of sunlight but at night the land becomes a lot cooler as compared to the water which is still war. So the air over water is significantly warmer than the air over land.

In Newton's third law, the action and reaction forces D.)act on different objects

Explanation:

Newton's third law of motion states that:

<em>"When an object A exerts a force on object B (action force), then action B exerts an equal and  opposite force (reaction force) on object A"</em>

It is important to note from the statement above that the action force and the reaction force always act on different objects. Let's take an example: a man pushing a box. We have:

  • Action force: the force applied by the man on the box, forward
  • Reaction force: the force applied by the box on the man, backward

As we can see from this example, the action force is applied on the box, while the reaction force is applied on the man: this means that the two forces do not act on the same object. This implies that whenever we draw the free-body diagram of the forces acting on an object, the action and reaction forces never appear in the same diagram, since they act on different objects.

2. Which statement is correct about the Krebs cycle?
IRINA_888 [86]

The correct option is


a. Acetyl-CoA combines with a pyruvic acid to make glucose in the Krebs cycle.


Explanation:

The Krebs citric acid cycle happens within the mitochondrial matrix and generates a pool of energy (ATP, NADH, and FADH2) from the oxidization of pyruvate, the tip product of metabolism. Pyruvate is transported into the mitochondria and loses dioxide to make acetyl-CoA, a 2-carbon molecule.
