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

What is an essential characteristic of an object in equilibrium
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

The essential characteristics of an object in equilibrium is acceleration of the object must  be zero.

Explanation:

Equilibrium: An object acted upon by several forces is said to be in equilibrium if it does no it moves or rotate. Equilibrium can be defined as the state of stability of an object.

Condition for equilibrium

(i) The resultant force acting on the object must me equal to zero.

(ii) The sum of moment acting on the object must be equal to zero.

But.

F = ma..................... Equation 1

Where F =  net force , m = mass, a = acceleration.

from the equation above,

For  F = 0 N, a must be equal to zero.

<em>From the above, the essential characteristics of an object in equilibrium is acceleration must be zero</em>

Teresa drove to the mountains last weekend. There was heavy traffic on the way there, and the trip took hours. When Teresa drove
Ksenya-84 [330]

Question:

Teresa drove to the mountains last weekend. There was heavy traffic on the way there, and the trip took  12 hours. When Teresa drove home, there was no traffic and the trip only took 8 hours. If her average rate was  20 miles per hour faster on the trip home, how far away does Teresa live from the mountains?

Do not do any rounding.

Answer:

480 miles

That is Teresa lives 480 miles  from the mountains

Explanation:

Here we have

Distance D = Speed S × Time t

On her way to the mountain we have

D = S × 12

On her way back we have

D = (S +20)×8

Therefore, by comparing the two above equations, we have

S × 12 = (S +20)×8

Therefore, 12·S = 8·S +160 or

4·S = 160

Hence S = 160/4 = 40 miles/hour

Therefore, from D = S × 12, we have

D = 40 × 12 = 480 miles.
