Answer:

0.6 m/s

Explanation:

The details of the masses and velocities are;

The mass of the ice skater, m₁ = 80 kg

The mass of the ball, m₂ = 8 kg

The speed with which the skater tosses the ball forward, v₂ = 6 m/s

Therefore;

According to the principle of conservation of linear momentum, we have;

m₁·v₁ = m₂·v₂

Where;

v₁ = The skater's reactive velocity

Therefore, we get;

80 kg × v₁ = 8 kg × 6 m/s

v₁ = 8 kg × 6 m/s/(80 kg) = 0.6 m/s

The skater's reactive velocity, v₁ = 0.6 m/s.

Which option is a force?<br> O A. Mass<br> O B. Velocity<br> O C. Acceleration<br> O D. Weight
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

Weight is a force.

Explanation:

Force acting on an object is defined in terms of mass and its acceleration. Its mathematical force is given by

F = ma

Weight of an object is force that the Earth exerts on an object. It can be given by the formula as follows :

W = mg

g is acceleration due to gravity on the surface of earth

Hence, the correct option is (d).

A person travels 1.5 km in 6 minutes, how fast were they traveling in meters per second?
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

4.167m/sec

Explanation:

1km=1000m

1.5km=1500m

1min=60sec

6min=360sec

In 360sec they travel 1500m

In 1 sec they travel=1500m/360

1sec=4.167m

Let the four horizontal compass directions north, east, south, and west be represented by units vectors n^, e^, s^, and w^, resp
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

c = e > b = d > a

Explanation:

Given vectors are all unit vectors, therefore they have a magnitude of 1

<h3>Let a, b be two vectors and magnitude of cross product of these two vectors is (magnitude of a) × (magnitude of b) × (sine of angle between these two vectors)</h3>

As all are unit vectors their magnitude is 1 and therefore in this case the cross product between any two vectors depends on the sine of angle between those two vectors

In option a as both the vectors are same, the angle between them will be zero and sin0° will also be 0

In option b angle between those two vectors is 135° and sin135° is 1 ÷ √2

In option c angle between those two vectors is 90° and sin90° is 1

In option d angle between those two vectors is 45° and sin45° is 1 ÷ √2

In option e angle between those two vectors is 90° and sin90° is 1

So by comparison of magnitudes of cross products in each option, the order will be  c = e > b = d > a
