Max (15 kg) and Maya (12 kg) are ice-skating on a frozen pond. While standing at the center of the pond, Maya throws a 1.5-kg sn

owball at Max and, as a result, recoils away from Max at 2.5 m/s. With what speed did Maya throw the snowball at Max

Answer: The speed at which Maya threw the snowball at Max is 20m/s

Explanation:

Given that

​Mass of snowball=   1.5-kg.

Mass of Maya= 12kg

Initial  speed of Maya=2.5m/s

We use the law of conservation of  momentum to calculate the  speed of the snowball which depends on its own mass,  the mass of Maya who threw the snowball and the initial velocity at which the snowball was thrown by Maya

Ms x Us = Mm x Um

Mass of snowball  x Initial speed of Snow ball =Mass of Maya x Initial  speed of Maya

1.5kg  x Initial speed of Snow ball =12 kg x 2.5m/s

Initial speed of Snow ball=( 12 kg x 2.5m/s) /1.5kg

​ Initial speed of Snow ball  =20m/s

1. Spring force is proportional to stretch distance, F=kd. Do you expect doubling the stretch distance double the force?
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

The spring force is given as:

          F  = kd

F is the spring force

K is the spring constant

d is the magnitude of the stretch

 Since k is a constant, therefore, doubling the stretch distance will double the force.

Both stretch distance and force applied can be said to be directly proportional to one another.

a 100 kg gymnast comes to a stop after tumbling. her feet do -5000J of net work to stop her. Use the work-kinetic energy theorem
VikaD [51]
W=ΔKE , W=-5000j
KEinitial=(1/2)mv² , KEfinal=0j 
ΔKE=-(1/2)mv²
-5000=-(1/2)(100kg)v²
v=10 m/s
