Ben (55kg) is standing on very slippery ice when Junior (25kg) bumps into him. Junior was moving at a speed of 8 m/s before the

collision and ben and junior embrace after the collision. Find the speed of ben and junior as they move across the ice after the collision. Give the answer in m/s. describe the work you did to get the answer.

Answer:

2.5 m/s

Explanation:

The total momentum before and after the collision must be conserved.

Before the collision, the total momentum is just given by Junior's momentum, since Ben is at rest. So,

p_i = m_J u_J

where

m_J = 25 kg is Junior's mass

u_J = 8 m/s is the Junior's initial velocity

So we find

p_i = (25 kg)(8 m/s)=200 kg m/s

The final momentum will be equal to the initial momentum:

p_f = p_i

and it can be written as

p_f = (m_B + m_J) v

where

m_B = 55 kg is Ben's mass

v is their final velocity

Solving for v,

v=\frac{p_f}{m_B + m_J}=\frac{200 kg m/s}{55 kg + 25 kg}=2.5 m/s

two cars are moving at constant speeds in a straight line along a major highway. The first is travelling at 20ms^-1 and the seco
Reika [66]

Answer:

t=750s

Explanation:

The two cars are under an uniform linear motion. So, the distance traveled by them is given by:

\Delta x=vt\\x_f-x_0=vt\\x_f=x_0+vt

x_f is the same for both cars when the second one catches up with the first. If we take as reference point the initial position of the second car, we have:

x_0_1=6km\\x_0_2=0

We have x_f_1=x_f_2. Thus, solving for t:

x_0_1+v_1t=x_0_2+v_2t\\x_0_1=t(v_2-v_1)\\t=\frac{x_0_1}{v_2-v_1}\\t=\frac{6*10^3m}{28\frac{m}{s}-20\frac{m}{s}}\\t=750s

Which of the following is a false statement about dispersion forces? View Available Hint(s) Which of the following is a false st
icang [17]

Explanation :

Dispersion forces are also known as London dispersion forces. It is the weakest force. Also, it is the part of the Van der Waals forces.

(1) This force is exhibited by all atoms and molecules.

(2) These forces are the result of the fluctuations in the electron distribution within molecules or atoms. Due to these fluctuations, the electric field is created. The magnitude of this force is explained in terms of Hamaker constant 'A'.

(3) Dispersion forces result from the formation of instantaneous dipoles in a molecule or atom. When electrons are more concentrated in a place, instantaneous dipoles formed.

(4) Dispersion force magnitude depends on the amount of surface area available for interactions. If the area increases, the size of the atom also increase. As a result, stronger dispersion forces.

So, the false statement is "Dispersion forces always have a greater magnitude in molecules with a greater molar mass".

Your job is to lift 30 kgkg crates a vertical distance of 0.90 mm from the ground onto the bed of a truck. For related problem-s
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

The number of crates is 84580.

Explanation:

mass, m = 30 kg

height, h = 0.9 mm  

Power, P = 0.5 hp = 0.5 x 746 W = 373 W

time, t = 1 minute = 60 s

Let the number of crates is n.

Power is given by the rate of doing work.

P = \frac{n m gh}{t}\\\373 =\frac{n\times 30\times9.8\times 0.9\times 10^{-3}}{60}\\\\n =84580
