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

The electrons in the beam of a television tube have an energy of 19.0 keV. The tube is oriented so that the electrons move horiz
igomit [66]

Answer:

The direction is due south

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The energy of the electron is E = 19.0keV = 19.0 *10^3 eV

      The earths magnetic field is B = 42.3 \muT = 42.3 *10^{-6} T

     

Generally the force on the electron is perpendicular to the velocity of the elecrton and the magnetic field and this is mathematically reresented as

          \= F = q (\= v * \=B)

On the first uploaded image is an  illustration of the movement of the electron

    Looking at the diagram  we can see that in terms of direction  the magnetic force  is

             \= F  =q(\=v * \= B)= -( -\r i * - \r k)

                = -(- (\r i * \r k))

generally  i cross k = -j

      so the equation above becomes

             \= F = -(-(- \r j))

                = - \r j

This show that the direction is towards the south

Since the two waves have equal amplitudes, if the crest of one wave
meets the trough of the other one, they'll add to produce a level of zero
at that location.
