Answer:

0.338125 m/s

Explanation:

Applying,

Law of conservation of momentum

m'v' = mv............ Equation 1

Where m' = mass of the first skater, v' = velocity of the first skater, m = mass of the second skater, v = velocity of the second skater.

make v the subject of the equation

v = m'v'/m........... Equation 2

From the question,

Given: m' = 54.1 kg, v' = 0.375 m/s, m = 60 kg

Substitute these values into equation

v = (54.1×0.375)/60

v = 20.2875/60

v = 0.338125 m/s

Answer:

1. <u>Potential energy</u>, 2. <u>Potential and kinetic energy</u>, 3. <u>Potential and kinetic energy</u>, 4. <u>Potential and kinetic energy</u>, 5. <u>Potential energy</u>

Explanation:

We note that the total mechanical energy (M.E.) of the body is given as follows;

M.E. = K.E. + P.E. = Constant

Where;

K.E. = The kinetic energy of the body = (1/2)·m·v²

P.E. = The potential energy of the body = m·g·h

m = The mass of the person

v = The velocity with which the person is in motion

g = The acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.81 m/s²

h = The height of the person above the ground

The length of the rope = 20 m

The initial height at location 1, h₁ = 40.0 m

At location 1, the velocity, v₁ = 0.00 m/s

The mechanical energy, M.E. = K.E.₁ + P.E.₁

∴  K.E.₁ = 0 and P.E.₁ = m ×9.81×40

M.E. = (1/2) ×m ×0² + m ×9.81×40

∴ M.E. = 0 + P.E.₁ the type of energy present at location 1 is only potential energy

At location 2, the velocity, v₂ = 10.0 m/s

The mechanical energy, M.E. = K.E.₂ + P.E.₂ = (1/2) ×m ×10² + m ×9.81×40

∴  K.E.₂ = 50·m and P.E.₂ = m ×9.81×35 = 343.35·m

M.E. = 50·m + 343.35·m the type of energy at location 2 is both kinetic energy, K.E. and potential energy, P.E.

At location 3, the velocity, v₃ = 20.0 m/s

The mechanical energy, M.E. = K.E.₃ + P.E.₃ = (1/2) ×m ×20² + m ×9.81×20

∴  K.E.₃ = 200·m and P.E.₃ = m ×9.81×20 = 196.2·m

M.E. = 200·m + 196.2·m the type of energy at location 3 is both kinetic energy, K.E. and potential energy, P.E.

At location 4, the velocity, v₄² = 350.0 m²/s², h₄ = 15.0 m

The mechanical energy, M.E. = K.E.₄ + P.E.₄ = (1/2) × m ×350 + m ×9.81×15

∴  K.E.₄ = 175·m and P.E.₄ = m×9.81×15 = 147.15·m

M.E. = 175·m + 147.15·m the type of energy at location 4 is both kinetic energy, K.E. and potential energy, P.E.

At location 5, the velocity, v₅ = 0 m/s, h₅ = 10.0 m

The mechanical energy, M.E. = K.E.₅ + P.E.₅ = (1/2) × m × 0 + m ×9.81×10

∴  K.E.₅ = 0·m and P.E.₅ = m×98.1 = 98.1·m

M.E. = 0·m + 98.1·m the type of energy at location 5 is only potential energy, P.E.

Therefore, we have;

\left|\begin{array}{ccc}Location&&Type(s) \ of \ Energy \ Presents\\1&&Potential \ Energy\\2&&Potential  \ and \ Kinetic \ Energy\\3&&Potential  \ and \ Kinetic \ Energy\\4&&Potential  \ and \ Kinetic \ Energy\\5&&Potential  \  Energy\end{array} \right |

Sound travels faster through rigid material like steel rather than through spongy materials like rubber. Why?
drek231 [11]
<span>since sound travels using mechanical waves and needs a material medium to propagate and since mechanical waves spread through vibrations ...and since hard materials have their atoms packed closely....they need to vibrate with a smaller amplitude to pass on the wave....thus sound travels faster in a denser medium than a less dense one.</span>

Time period of a simple pendulum is measured at Karachi. What change will occur in the time period, if it is measured on mount e
Reil [10]
The period of a pendulum is given by T=2 \pi  \sqrt{ \frac{l}{g} }
since Karachi is near sea level, g is larger than it is on Mt. Everest.  That means the pendulum will have a larger period on Mt. Everest than it would in Karachi.

A man standing on a bus remains still when the bus is at rest. When the bus moves forward and then slows down the man continues
Stells [14]
C. inertia.  the man is sent flying off the bus because of his weight and the sudden stop of the bus. this effect is called inertia. an example of gravity would be throwing an apple up and having it come to the ground. an example of weight would be putting a man and an elephant on a scale and having the elephant come down while the man goes up.
