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

How does work affect energy between objects so it can cause a change in the form of energy?
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

Doing work' is a way of transferring energy from one object to another, energy is transferred when a force moves through a distance.

Explanation:  So more energy, more work done bc u transferred more energy to move the object and doing the work. and if you only use a little of energy, the work done also only a little.

1. What is the potential energy of a 4-kilogram potted plant that is on a 1 meter-high plant
Yuri [45]

39.2 J

Explanation:

Step 1:

To find the potential energy the following formula is used.

Potential Energy = m × g × h

Where,

m = Mass

g = Acceleration due to gravity

h =  Height

Step 2:

Here m = 4 kg, g = 9.8 m/s², h = 1 m

Potential Energy = ( 4 × 9.8 × 1)

                             = 39.2 J

4. O/N 15/P11/Q11
anygoal [31]

Answer:

B) 4500 Pa

Explanation:

As pressure is force per unit area,

P = F/A

It stands to reason that the smallest pressure for a given force is when it is shared by the largest area.

The possible areas are

0.30(0.40) = 0.12 m²

0.30(0.50) = 0.15 m²

0.40(0.50) = 0.20 m²

The pressure when the face with the largest area (0.20 m²) is down is

P = 900 / 0.20 = 4500 N/m² or 4500 Pa

the other possible pressures would be

900/0.15 = 6000 Pa

900/0.12 = 7500 Pa

which are both larger than our solution.

A stone is thrown towards a wall with an initial velocity of v0=19m/s and an angle = 71 with the horizontal, as illustrated in t
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

(a) 2.85 m

(b) 16.5 m

(c) 21.7 m

(d) 22.7 m

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ₓ = 19 cos 71° m/s

v₀ᵧ = 19 sin 71° m/s

aₓ = 0 m/s²

aᵧ = -9.8 m/s²

(a) Find Δy when t = 3.5 s.

Δy = v₀ᵧ t + ½ aᵧ t²

Δy = (19 sin 71° m/s) (3.5 s) + ½ (-9.8 m/s²) (3.5 s)²

Δy = 2.85 m

(b) Find Δy when vᵧ = 0 m/s.

vᵧ² = v₀ᵧ² + 2 aᵧ Δy

(0 m/s)² = (19 sin 71° m/s)² + 2 (-9.8 m/s²) Δy

Δy = 16.5 m

(c) Find Δx when t = 3.5 s.

Δx = v₀ₓ t + ½ aₓ t²

Δx = (19 cos 71° m/s) (3.5 s) + ½ (0 m/s²) (3.5 s)²

Δx = 21.7 m

(d) Find Δx when Δy = 0 m.

First, find t when Δy = 0 m.

Δy = v₀ᵧ t + ½ aᵧ t²

(0 m) = (19 sin 71° m/s) t + ½ (-9.8 m/s²) t²

0 = t (18.0 − 4.9 t)

t = 3.67

Next, find Δx when t = 3.67 s.

Δx = v₀ₓ t + ½ aₓ t²

Δx = (19 cos 71° m/s) (3.67 s) + ½ (0 m/s²) (3.67 s)²

Δx = 22.7 m

 An ultrasound pulse used in medical imaging has a frequency of 5 MHz and a pulse width of 0.5 us. Ap- proximately how many osci
podryga [215]

At the frequency of 5 MHz, the period of the oscillations is 1/5meg. That's a period of 1/5 microsecond.

There are 5 full cycles in one full microsecond, and there are 2.5 full cycles in a 0.5 us pulse.

You'll have to decide for yourself how damped a pulse of 2.5 cycles is, because the parameters of the definition are corrupted in the question.
