Mary slides down a snow-covered hill on a large piece of cardboard and then slides across a frozen pond at a constant velocity o

f 2.40 m/s. After Mary has reached the bottom of the hill and is sliding across the ice, Sue runs after her at a velocity of 4.40 m/s and hops on the cardboard. How fast do the two of them slide across the ice together on the cardboard? Mary's mass is 69.0 kg and Sue's is 56.0 kg. Ignore the mass of the cardboard and any friction between the cardboard and the snow and/or ice. (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) m/s

Answer: 3.288 m/s

Explanation:

Given

Mass of Mary, m1 = 69 kg

Mass of Sue, m2 = 56 kg

Speed of Mary, v1 = 2.4 m/s

Speed of Sue, v2 = 4.4 m/s

Speed of the 2 of them, v = ?

We solve this using the principle of conservation of linear momentum

m1.v1 + m2.v2 = m1.v + m2.v

m1.v1 + m2.v2 = (m1 + m2) v

v = [(m1.v1) + (m2.v2)] / (m1 + m2)

v = [(69 * 2.4) + (56 * 4.4)] / (69 + 56)

v = (164.6 + 246.4) / 125

v = 411 / 125

v = 3.288 m/s

Thus, the speed at which both Mary and Sue slide together across the ice is 3.288 m/s

To provide some perspective on the dimensions of atomic defects, consider a metal specimen that has a dislocation density of 105
-Dominant- [34]

Explanation:

LD₁ = 10⁵ mm⁻²

LD₂ = 10⁴mm⁻²

V = 1000 mm³

Distance = (LD)(V)

Distance₁ = (10⁵mm⁻²)(1000mm³) = 10×10⁷mm = 10×10⁴m

Distance₂ = (10⁹mm⁻²)(1000mm³) = 1×10¹² mm = 1×10⁹ m

Conversion to miles:

Distance₁ = 10×10⁴ m / 1609m = 62 miles

Distance₂ = 10×10⁹m / 1609 m = 621,504 miles.

A4) A straight wire that is 0.60 m long is carrying a current of 2.0 A. It is placed in a uniform magnetic field of strength 0.3
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

\theta=30^{\circ}

Explanation:

It is given that,

Length of the wire, L = 0.6 m

Current flowing inside the wire, I = 2 A

Uniform magnetic field, B = 0.3 T

Force experienced by the wire in the magnetic field, F = 0.18 N

To find,

The angle made by the wire with the magnetic field.

Solve,

We know that the magnetic force acting on the wire inside the magnetic field is given by :

F=ILB\ sin\theta

sin\theta=\dfrac{F}{ILB}

sin\theta=\dfrac{0.18}{2\times 0.6\times 0.3}

\theta=30^{\circ}

Therefore, the wire makes an angle of 30 degrees with respect to magnetic field.

What is used as evidence for sea-floor spreading?
raketka [301]

Answer:

Sea-floor spreading occurs in the oceanic ridges. In there, volcanic activity, together with the gradual movement of the bottom, form new oceanic crust. This allows a better understanding of the continental drift explained by the theory of plate tectonics.

The greatest evidence for Sea-floor spreading is the oceanic trenches, the oceanic ridges, the magma protruding to the surface and the new seafloor.

In previous theories,  continents were assumed to be transported across the sea. Harry Hess, in the 1960s, proposed the idea that the seabed itself moves  as it expands from a central point. The theory is now accepted, and the phenomenon is thought to be caused by convection currents in the upper layer of the mantle.
