Two friends, Al and Jo, have a combined mass of 194 kg. At the ice skating rink, they stand close together on skates, at rest an

d facing each other. Using their arms, they push on each other for 1 second and move off in opposite directions. Al moves off with a speed of 7.9 m/sec in one direction and Jo moves off with a speed of 6.7 m/sec in the other. You can assume friction is negligible.
What is Al's mass? 110.58 What is Jo's mass? If you assume the force is constant during the 1 second they are pushing on each other, what is the magnitude of the force of Al on Jo? If you assume the force is constant during the 1 second they are pushing on each other, what is the magnitude of the force of Jo on Al?

Answer:

The mass of Al is 89.027 kilograms.

The mass of Jo is 104.973 kilograms.

The magnitude of the force of Jo on Al is 596.481 newtons.

Explanation:

Given the absence of external forces, this situation can be described will by Principle of Linear Momentum Conservation and Impact Theorem on each skater:

Al:

m_{1}\cdot (v_{1, f}-v_{1, o}) = -F \cdot \Delta t (1)

Jo:

m_{2}\cdot (v_{2,f}-v_{2,o}) = F\cdot \Delta t (2)

Total mass:

m_{1} + m_{2} = 194\,kg

Where:

m_{1}, m_{2} - Masses of the skaters, in kilograms.

v_{1,o}, v_{1,f} - Initial and final velocities of Al, in meters per second.

v_{2,o}, v_{2,f} - Initial and final velocities of Jo, in meters per second.

F - Impact force between skaters, in newtons.

\Delta t - Impact time, in seconds.

If we know that v_{1,o} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}, v_{1,f} = -7.9\,\frac{m}{s}, \Delta t = 1\,s, v_{2,o} = 0\,\frac{m}{s} and v_{2,f} = 6.7\,\frac{m}{s}, then the masses of the skaters are, respectively:

(194-m_{2})\cdot (-7.9) = -F (1b)

m_{2} \cdot 6.7 = F (2b)

(2b) in (1b):

(194-m_{2})\cdot (-7.9) = -m_{2}\cdot 6.7

-1532.6 +7.9\cdot m_{2} = -6.7\cdot m_{2}

14.6\cdot m_{2} = 1532.6

m_{2} = 104.973\,kg

m_{1} = 194\,kg - 104.973\,kg

m_{1} = 89.027\,kg

And the magnitude of the force is:

F = 6.7\cdot m_{2}

F = 596.481\,N

The mass of Al is 89.027 kilograms.

The mass of Jo is 104.973 kilograms.

The magnitude of the force of Jo on Al is 596.481 newtons.

How much work does it take to lift 345 boxes to a height of 6.00 m of each box has a mass of 7.89 kg
Art [367]

Given the value of the mass of each boxes, the work done in lifting the boxes to the given height is 1.6 × 10⁵J.

<h3>Work done</h3>

Work done is simply defined as the energy transfer that takes place when an object is either pushed or pulled over a certain distance by an external force. It is expressed as;

W = F × d

Where F is force applied or Weight and d is distance

Also Force = Weight = mass × acceleration due to gravity.

Since gravity is acting on the boxes as it been lift

W = Weight × height from ground level

W = mg × d

Where m is mass of the boxes, g is accelration due to gravity( g = 9.8m/s² ) and d is distance from ground level.

Given the data in the question;

  • Since each box has a mass of 7.89 kg
  • Mass of the 345 boxes = 345 × 7.89 kg = 2722.05kg
  • Distance or height d = 6.0m
  • Work done W = ?

To determine the work done, we substitute our values into the expression above.

W = mg × d

W = 2722.05kg × 9.8m/s² × 6.0m

W = 160056.5kgm²/s²

W = 160056.5J

W = 1.6 × 10⁵J

Therefore,  Given the value of the mass of each boxes, the work done in lifting the boxes to the given height is 1.6 × 10⁵J.

How much force is needed to accelerate a 68 kilogram skier at a rate of 1.2m/sec
xxMikexx [17]

Let's use Newton's 2nd law of motion:

                                     Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

                                     Force = (68 kg) x (1.2 m/s²) =  81.6 newtons .

lesya692 [45]

Answer:252 miles

Explanation:

Given

During his way to mountain it took 7 hr to drive

and during his return trip it took 4 hr to return

Let x be the distance between home and mountain

average speed for return is  27 miles per hour faster than his former trip

let v be the speed on his way to mountain thus v+27 is his return speed

thus 7=\frac{x}{v}----1

for return trip

4=\frac{x}{v+27}-----2

divide  1 & 2

\frac{7}{4}=\frac{x\cdot (v+27)}{v\cdot x}

7v=4v+4\cdot 27

3v=4\cdot 27

v=36 mph

thus x=7\times 36=252\ miles

german

The impulse was greater in the first experiment because the egg broke.

<h3>What is impulse?</h3>

The term impulse is defined a the product of the force and time. We know that the impulse is high when a large force acts for a short time.

From the experiment if the students, we can conclude that  the impulse was greater in the first experiment because the egg broke.
