Hank and Harry are two ice skaters whiling away time by playing 'tug of war' between practice sessions. They hold on to opposite

ends of the same rope and pull the other toward him. The magnitude of Hank's acceleration is 1.26 times greater than the magnitude of Harry's acceleration. What is the ratio of Hank's mass to Harry's mass?

Answer:

the ratio of Hank's mass to Harry's mass is 0.7937 or [ 0.7937 : 1

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Hank and Harry are two ice skaters, since both are on top of ice, we assume that friction is negligible.

We know that from Newton's Second Law;

Force = mass × Acceleration

F = ma

Since they hold on to opposite ends of the same rope. They have the same magnitude of force |F|, which is the same as the tension in the rope.

Now,

Mass_{Hank × Acceleration_{Hank = Mass_{Henry × Acceleration_{Henry

so

Mass_{Hank /  Mass_{Henry = Acceleration_{Henry / Acceleration_{Hank

given that; magnitude of Hank's acceleration is 1.26 times greater than the magnitude of Harry's acceleration,

Mass_{Hank /  Mass_{Henry = 1 / 1.26

Mass_{Hank /  Mass_{Henry = 0.7937 or [ 0.7937 : 1 ]

Therefore, the ratio of Hank's mass to Harry's mass is 0.7937 or [ 0.7937 : 1 ]

HELP ASAP HELP Two tennis balls of the same mass are served at different speeds: 30 m/s and 60 m/s. Which serve has more kinetic
inna [77]

Answer:

<em>The second ball has four times as much kinetic energy as the first ball.</em>

Explanation:

<u>Kinetic Energy </u>

Is the type of energy an object has due to its state of motion. It's proportional to the square of the speed.

The equation for the kinetic energy is:

\displaystyle K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

Where:

m = mass of the object

v = speed at which the object moves

The kinetic energy is expressed in Joules (J)

Two tennis balls have the same mass m and are served at speeds v1=30 m/s and v2=60 m/s.

The kinetic energy of the first ball is:

\displaystyle K_1=\frac{1}{2}m\cdot 30^2

\displaystyle K_1=\frac{1}{2}m\cdot 900

K_1=450m

The kinetic energy of the second ball is:

\displaystyle K_2=\frac{1}{2}m\cdot 60^2

\displaystyle K_2=\frac{1}{2}m\cdot 3600

K_2=1800m

Being m the same for both balls, the second ball has more kinetic energy than the first ball.

To find out how much, we find the ratio:

\displaystyle \frac{K_2}{K_1}=\frac{1800m}{450m}

Simplifying:

\displaystyle \frac{K_2}{K_1}=4

The second ball has four times as much kinetic energy as the first ball.
