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

When a wave enters a new medium from an angle, both the speed and the ________ change

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

B: Amplitude

Explanation:

When a wave travels from one medium to the other from an angle, the things that change are amplitude, wavelength, intensity and velocity.

The frequency doesn't change because the frequency depends upon the source of the wave and not the medium by which the wave is propagated.

Which statements are true concerning Newton's law of gravitation? The gravitational force is related to the mass of each object.

OLEGan [10]

Answer:

The gravitational force is related to the mass of each object.

The gravitational force is an attractive force.

Explanation:

Gravitational force is a long range force of attraction between any two masses.

Mathematically given as :

$F=G.\frac{m_1.m_2}{r^2}$

where:

$m_1 & m_2$ are the masses

r= distance between the center of mass of the two objects.

G= gravitational constant = $6.67\times 10^{-11} m^3.kg^{-1}.s^{-2}$

From the above relation of eq. (1) it is clear that,

Gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance and directly proportional to the masses.

The mass of an object is independent of its size due to the fact that density may vary for different objects.

The force of gravity varies with height as:

$\frac{g}{g_x} =(\frac{r_x}{r} )^2$

where:

$g=9.8\,m.s^{-2}$

$g_x=$ gravity at height $r_x$ of the center of mass of the object from the center of mass of the earth.

and we know that force:

$F=m\times g$

where: m= mass of the object.

A solution containing 10.0 g of an unknown liquid and 90.0 g water has a freezing point of -3.33 °C. Given Kf = 1.86 °C/m for wa

Fantom [35]

Answer:

62.06 g/mol

Explanation:

We are given that a solution containing 10 g of an unknown liquid and 90 g

Given mass of solute = $W_B$ =10 g

Given mass of solvent= $W_A$ =90 g

$k_f=1.86^{\circ}C/m$

Freezing point of solution =-3.33 $^{\circ}$ C

Freezing point of solvent = $0^{\circ}$ C

Change in freezing point =Depression in freezing point

=Freezing point of solvent - freezing point of solution=0+3.33= $3.33^{\circ}$

$\Delta T_f=\frac{W_B\times K_f\times 1000}{W_A\times M_B}$

$M_B=\frac{10\times 1.86\times 1000}{3.33\times 90}$

$M_B=62.06 g/mol$

Hence, molar mass of unknown liquid is 62.06g/mol.

Spiders may "tune" strands of their webs to give an enhanced response at frequencies corresponding to the frequencies at which d

Bingel [31]

Answer:

0.0000167283525619 N

Explanation:

$\rho$ = Density of silk = 1300 kg/m³

d = Diameter = 0.002 mm

r = Radius = 0.001 mm

l = Length = 16 cm

f = Frequency = 200 Hz

Mass of the string is

$m=\rho V\\\Rightarrow m=\rho Al\\\Rightarrow m=1300\times \pi (0.001\times 10^{-3})^2\times 0.16\\\Rightarrow m=6.5345127195\times 10^{-10}\ kg$

Frequency is given by

$f=\dfrac{1}{2l}\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{m/l}}\\\Rightarrow T=4lf^2m\\\Rightarrow T=4\times 0.16\times 200^2\times 6.5345127195\times 10^{-10}\\\Rightarrow T=0.0000167283525619\ N$

The tension on the string is 0.0000167283525619 N
