A skater with a mass of 72 kg is traveling east at 5.8 m/s when he collides with another skater of mass 45 kg heading 60° south
Akimi4 [234]

The final velocity is 5.87 m/s

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given-

mass, m_{1} = 72 kg

speed, v_{1} = 5.8 m/s

Mass_{2},m_{2}  = 45 kg

speed_{2},v_{2}  = 12 m/s

Θ = 60°

Final velocity, v = ?

Applying the conservation of momentum:

m_{1} X v_{1} + m_{2} X v_{2} = (m_{1} +m_{2} ) v

72 X 5.8 + 45 X 12 X cos 60° = (72 + 45) v

v = 417.6 + 540 X \frac{0.5}{117}

v = 417.6 + \frac{270}{117}

v = 5.87 m/s

The final velocity is 5.87 m/s

A hockey player hits a rubber puck from one side of the rink to the other. It has a mass of .170 kg, and is hit at an initial sp
Dimas [21]

By using third law of equation of motion, the final velocity V of the rubber puck is 8.5 m/s

Given that a hockey player hits a rubber puck from one side of the rink to the other. The parameters given are:

mass m =  0.170 kg

initial speed u = 6 m/s.

Distance covered s = 61 m

To calculate how fast the puck is moving when it hits the far wall means we are to calculate final speed V

To do this, let us first calculate the kinetic energy at which the ball move.

K.E = 1/2mU^{2}

K.E = 1/2 x 0.17 x 6^{2}

K.E = 3.06 J

The work done on the ball is equal to the kinetic energy. That is,

W = K.E

But work done = Force x distance

F x S = K.E

F x 61 = 3.06

F = 3.06/61

F = 0.05 N

From here, we can calculate the acceleration of the ball from Newton second law

F = ma

0.05 = 0.17a

a = 0.05/0.17

a = 0.3 m/s^{2}

To calculate the final velocity, let us use third equation of motion.

V^{2} = U^{2} + 2as

V^{2}  = 6^{2} + 2 x 0.3 x 61

V^{2} = 36 + 36

V^{2} = 72

V = \sqrt{72}

V = 8.485 m/s

Therefore, the puck is moving at the rate of 8.5 m/s (approximately) when it hits the far wall.

Q 1 . How many significant figures are in the following measurement? 0.0009(1 point)
Crazy boy [7]

Here we have some questions about experimental errors.

Q1) We want to see how many significant figures have the measure:

0.0009

The number of significant figures is the number of known digits that are not the leading zeros.

Here we can see four leading zeros, and a single-digit different than zero, which is a 9.

Then we have only one significant figure, the 9.

Q2) Here we will use the measure that is the less exact, as the error of that measure may be larger than the smaller significant figures of the other measures.

Then:

31.2 lb + 38.02lb + 45 lb

The worst measure is 45lb, so the smallest significant figure that we should use is the first one at the left of the decimal point, then we need to round the other two measures to the next whole number, we will get:

31 lb + 38 lb + 45 lb = 114lbs

Q3) We know that the measure is 11.5 seconds and the uncertainty of 1.7%, then the uncertainty will be the 1.7% of the above measure:

(1.7%/100%)*11.5 s = 0.1955 s

Notice that our measure has one significant figure after the decimal point, so we need to round the error to the same significant figure.

0.1955 s ≈ 0.2s

Then the measure is:

11.5 s ± 0.20 s

Q4) We have the measure:

312.0 mph ± 3.9 mph.

The percent uncertainty will be the quotient between the error and the measure times 100%, or:

(3.9 mph/312.0 mph)*100%  = 1.25%

This is a percent error, we do not need to round this.

a rectangular block weighs 240N. The area of the block in contact with the floor is 20cm2 calculate the pressure on the floor
Romashka [77]

Answer:

The pressure on the floor is 12 Pascal(Pa).

Explanation:

Given,

Force (F) = 240N

Area (A) = 20 cm^2

Pressure (P) = ?

we know that,

P = F/A

= 240/ 20

= 12 Pa
