Answer: 6.21 m/s opposite to Janet

Explanation:

Given

mass of Janet $m_j=59\ kg$

mass of Sarah $m_s=32\ kg$

The initial velocity of Janet $u_1=7\ m/s$

The final velocity of Janet after the collision is $v_1=2\ m/s$

the final velocity of Sarah after the collision is $v_2=3\ m/s$

Conserving linear momentum

$\Rightarrow m_ju_1+m_su_2=m_jv_1+m_sv_2\\\Rightarrow 59\times 7+32\times u_2=59\times 2+32\times 3\\\Rightarrow 32u_2=118+96-413\\\Rightarrow u_2=\frac{-199}{32}=-6.21\ m/s$

Negative indicates the direction of velocity is opposite than of Janet

If the centripetal and thus frictional force between the tires and the roadbed of a car moving in a circular

erastova [34]

Answer;

D. The car would begin to move in the direction it was headed in a straight line.

Explanation;

-Centripetal force is any net force causing uniform circular motion. The direction of a centripetal force is toward the center of curvature, the same as the direction of centripetal acceleration.

-The centripetal force causing the car to turn in a circular path is due to friction between the tires and the road. A minimum coefficient of friction is needed, or the car will move in a larger-radius curve and leave the roadway.

-Therefore,If the centripetal and thus frictional force between the tires and the roadbed of a car moving in a circular path were reduced then the car would begin to move in the direction it was headed in a straight line.

To develop muscle tone, a woman lifts a 2.50 kg weight held in her hand. She uses her biceps muscle to flex the lower arm throug

Romashka [77]

To solve this problem we will use the concepts related to Torque as a function of the Force in proportion to the radius to which it is applied. In turn, we will use the concepts of energy expressed as Work, and which is described as the Torque's rate of change in proportion to angular displacement:

$\tau = Fr$

Where,

F = Force

r = Radius

Replacing we have that,

$\tau = Fr$

$\tau = 21cm (\frac{1m}{100cm})* 550N$

$\tau = 11.55Nm$

The moment of inertia is given by 2.5kg of the weight in hand by the distance squared to the joint of the body of 24 cm, therefore

$I = 0.25Kg\cdot m^2 +(2.5kg)(0.24m)^2$

$I = 0.394kg\cdot m^2$

Finally, angular acceleration is a result of the expression of torque by inertia, therefore

$\tau = I\alpha \rightarrow \alpha = \frac{\tau}{I}$

$\alpha = \frac{11.55}{0.394}$

$\alpha = 29.3 rad/s^2$

PART B)

The work done is equivalent to the torque applied by the distance traveled by 60 °° in radians $(\pi / 3)$ , therefore

$W = \tau \theta$

$W = 11.5* \frac{\pi}{3}$

$W = 12.09J$

Sophie [7]

Answer:

Change/ Potential

Explanation:

Work is the amount of energy required to perform an action that is for a force to cause a displacement.

From work-energy theorem, work done by body is equal to change in its kinetic energy.

Work of gravity is basically the potential energy stored in the body due to gravity. From the law of conservation of mechanical energy, increased kinetic energy comes from the change of the potential energy of the stone.
