b) Two skaters collide and grab on to each other on a frictionless ice. One of them, of mass 80 kg, is moving to the right at 5.

0 m/s, while the other of mass 70 kg is moving to the left at 2.0 m/s. What are the magnitude and direction of the two skaters just after they collide

Answer:

The two skaters move with a speed of 1.73 m/s after the collision in the right direction.

Explanation:

Given that,

The mas of skater 1, m₁ = 80 kg

The speed of skater 1, u₁ = 5 m/s (right)

The mass of skater 2, m₂ = 70 kg

The speed of skater 2, u₂ = -2 m/s (left)

Let v is the magnitude of the two skaters just after they collide. They must have a common speed. So, using the conservation of momentum as follows :

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)v\\\\v=\dfrac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{(m_1+m_2)}

Put all the values,

v=\dfrac{80(5)+70(-2)}{(80+70)}\\\\=1.73m /s

So, the two skaters move with a speed of 1.73 m/s after the collision in the right direction.

The highest entropy for the jar of marbles is represented by the marbles are arranged in a random order.

<h3>What is entropy?</h3>

Entropy is the measure of the degree of disorderliness of a system or degree of randomness of a system.

Entropy of a system increases with increase in randomness of the system or disorderliness of the system.

Thus, the highest entropy for the jar of marbles is represented by the marbles are arranged in a random order.

An artificial satellite is moving in a circular orbit of radius 24,600 km. Calculate its speed if it takes 12hours to revolve ar
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

the speed of the satellite is 12,880.53 km/h

Explanation:

Given;

radius of the circular orbit, r = 24,600 km

time taken to revolve around Earth, t = 12 hours

The circumference of the satellite is calculated as;

L = 2πr

L = 2π x 24,600 km

L = 49,200π km

L = 154,566.36 km

The speed of the satellite;

v = L/t

v = 154,566.36 / 12

v = 12,880.53 km/h

Therefore, the speed of the satellite is 12,880.53 km/h

Both speed and velocity measure how fast something is moving. However, since speed is not a _________ it does not require a(n) _
Jet001 [13]

Both speed and velocity measure how fast something is moving. Hence, since speed is not a vector it does not require direction.

Speed only depends on the distance covered by the object and how much time it took to cover that distance. It does not care about the direction, it just depend on the length of the entire path covered. Whereas, velocity depends on magnitude as well as the direction of the object's motion for example: When an airplane is traveling, It is better to deal the motion with velocity and when we are moving in a car inside the city, we should deal the motion with speed.
