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.

a car headed north at 15 m/s accelerates for 4.25 s to reach a velocity of 28.3 m/s. What is the acceleration of the car?
Liono4ka [1.6K]

<u>Answer:</u>

The acceleration of the car is 3.13 m/s^2

<u>Explanation:</u>

In the question it is given that car initially heads north with a velocity 15 m/s. It then accelerates for 4.25 s and in the end its velocity is 28.3 m/s.

initial velocity u = 15 m/s

time t=4.25 s

final velocity v=28.3 m/s

The equation of acceleration is

a= \frac{(v-u)}{t}

= \frac{(28.3-15)}{4.25} =  \frac {13.3}{4.25} =3.13m/s^2

The value of acceleration is positive, here since the car is speeding up. If it was slowing down the value of acceleration would be negative.

If a force of 450N pushes a box 4 meters in 2 seconds, how much power was developed?
strojnjashka [21]

Work = (force) x (distance) = (450 N) x (4 m) = 1,800 joules

Power = (work) / (time) = (1,800 joules) / (2 sec) = 900 watts .

A vessel at rest at the origin of an xy coordinate system explodes into three pieces. Just after the explosion, one piece, of ma
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

Explanation:

The momentum of the first piece = m v =- m x 31 i kg m/s in - x direction  direction

The momentum of the second piece = -m x 31 j kg m /s in Y - direction

Total momentum = - 31 m( i + j )

To conserve momentum , the third piece must have momentum equal to this

and opposite to it

So momentum of the third piece  = 3m x V = 31 m ( i +j )

V = 31/3 ( i + j ) =

Magnitude of velocity V = √2 x 31/ 3  = 14.6 m / s

Its direction will be towards the vector i + j  ie 45° from x - axis in positive direction

A 1.00 x 104 W electric motor is used to lift a
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer: 52%

Explanation:

1W = 1 J/s

motor input is 10000 J/s

Potential energy change

PE = 955(9.81)(25.0) = 234,213.75

power needed to change the PE in that time

P = 234,213.75/ 45 = 5,204.75 Watts

motor is 5204.75 / 10000 = 0.520475 or 52% efficient
