Two ice skaters stand together. They push off and travel directly away from each other, the boy with a velocity of v = +0.35 m/s

. If the boy weighs 745N and the girl 477 N, what is the girl's velocity after they push off? ( Consider the ice to be frictionless)_____m/s

Answer:

-0.55m/s

Explanation:

Given that: For the boy

Weight = 745N

Velocity = +0.35 m/s

Mass of the boy = ?

g = 9.81m/s^2

W = mg

745 = m×9.81

m = 75.94kg

For the girl

Given that:

Weight = 477 N

g = 9.81m/s^2

m = ?

W = mg

477 = m×9.81m/s^2

m = 48.62kg

To solve for the v of the girl, the two has to add up

48.62kg×v + 75.94kg×+0.35 m/s = 0

48.62v + 26.579 = 0

48.62v = - 26.579

v = -26.579/48.62

v = -0.5466

v = -0.55m/s

Hence, the velocity of the girl is -0.55m/s.

The negative sign is as a result of the two of them moving is opposite direction.

Two argon atoms form the molecule Ar2 as a result of a van der Waals interaction with U0 = 1.68×10-21 J and R0= 3.82×10 the freq
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

\mathbf{f_o =1.87 \times 10^{11} \ Hz}

Explanation:

From the given information:

The elastic potential energy can be calculated by using the formula:

U_o = \dfrac{1}{2}kR_o^2

Making K the subject;

K = \dfrac{2 U_o}{R_o^2}

k = \dfrac{2\times 1.68 \times 10^{-21}}{(3.82\times 10^{-10})^2}

k = 2.3 × 10⁻² N/m

Now; the frequency of the small oscillation can be determined by using the formula:

f_o = \dfrac{1}{2 \pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}

where;

m = mass of each atom = 1.66 × 10⁻²⁶ kg

f_o = \dfrac{1}{2 \pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{2.3 \times 10^{-2} N/m}{1.66 \times 10^{-26} \ kg}}

\mathbf{f_o =1.87 \times 10^{11} \ Hz}

The doppler effect is the change in observed frequency due to
Serga [27]

Answer: relative motion between observer and the sound source.

Explanation: The Doppler effect states that when there is a relative motion between an observer and a sound source the frequency of sound perceived by the observer is different in frequency from the original from the source.

The mathematical back up for this claim is given below.

f' = (v+v') /(v-vs) × f

Where f' = observed frequency

v = speed of sound in air

v' = velocity of observer

vs = velocity of source

f = frequency of sound source.

From the formulae, it can be seen that a change in the value of the velocity of observer (v') and source (vs) produces different value of observed frequency (f').

Note, frequency of sound (f) is a constant.
