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 the main difference between the following two velocities: 7 m/s and -7m/s?
Serjik [45]

The difference between the above velocities is that they exist in opposite direction of each other. or it can be said that they are negative vectors of each other.

What is the speed of the roller coaster at the top of the loop if the radius of curvature there is 11.0 m and the downward accel
8090 [49]
<span>When an object moves in a circle, the acceleration points toward the center of the circle. This acceleration is called centripetal acceleration. We can use a simple equation to find centripetal acceleration. a = v^2 / r We can use this same equation to find the speed of the car. v^2 = a * r v = sqrt { a * r } v = sqrt{ (1.50)(9.80 m/s^2)(11.0 m) } v = 12.7 m/s The speed of the roller coaster is 12.7 m/s</span>

A spring scale hung from the ceiling stretches by 6.4 cm when a 2.0 kg mass is hung from it. The 2.0 kg mass is removed and repl
dolphi86 [110]
In the first case, the force acting on the spring is the weight of the mass:
F=mg=(2.0 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=19.6N
This force causes a stretching of x=6.4 cm=0.064 m on the spring, so we can use these data to find the spring constant:
k= \frac{F}{x}= \frac{19.6 N}{0.064 m}=306.3 N/m

In the second case, the first mass is replaced with a second mass, whose weight is
F=mg=(2.5 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=24.5 N
And since we know the spring constant, we can calculate the new elongation of the spring:
x= \frac{F}{k}= \frac{24.5 N}{306.3 N/m}=0.080 m=8.0 cm

Calculate the amount of heat (kcal) released when 50.0g of steam at 100*c hits the skin, condenses, and cools to a body temperat
luda_lava [24]
As the steam touches the skin, it undergoes a phase change and releases latent heat due to the phase change. As it reaches equilibrium, it releases sensible heat. We calculate as follows:

Q = latent heat + sensible Heat
Q = 2.26 kJ / g (50.0 g) + 50.0 g ( 4.18 J / g C) (37 C - 100 C) ( 1 kJ / 1000 J)
Q = 99.833 kJ

How does the sun's energy most directly influence precipitation in an area?
topjm [15]
The sun's energy influences climate in various ways. For example the latitudes at the equator receive more energy from the sun and therefore have warmer temperatures, On the other hand the sun's energy influences precipitation in a climate by driving the water cycle which determines precipitation.The sun is what makes the water cycle take place. That is the sun provides energy or heat to the earth; the heat causes liquid and frozen water to evaporate into water vapor gas, which rises high in the sky to form clouds ( precipitation), that in turn give us rain
