A 69.5-kg person throws a 0.0475-kg snowball forward with a ground speed of 31.5 m/s. A second person, with a mass of 57.5 kg, c

atches the snowball. Both people are on skates. The first person is initially moving forward with a speed of 2.35 m/s, and the second person is initially at rest. What are the velocities of the two people after the snowball is exchanged

Answer:

- After throwing the snow, velocity of the thrower is 2.33 m/s

- the velocity of the receiver is 0.026 m/s

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Using conservation of momentum,

Initial thrower has a momentum of mv; m_{totalv

(69.5 kg + 0.0475 kg) × 2.35 m/s = 163.4366 kg.m/s

Now, When he throws it at 31.5 m/s, these constitutes a momentum of;

(0.0475 kg )(31.5 m/s) = 1.49625 kg.m/s

hence his momentum now is: 163.4366 - 1.49625 = 161.94035 kg.m/s

To get his velocity, we say;

161.94035 = mv

{ he lost weight of the snow ball so, m = 69.5 kg )

161.94035 = 69.5 × v

v = 161.94035 / 69.5

v = 2.33 m/s

Therefore, After throwing the snow, velocity of the thrower is 2.33 m/s

Next is the Receiver;

the receiver will gain momentum of 1.49625 kg.m/s

he has no momentum initially and after he catches the snow ball;

1.49625 kg.m/s = mv

1.49625 kg.m/s = ( 57.5 kg +  0.0475 kg ) × v

1.49625 kg.m/s = 57.5475 kg × v

v = ( 1.49625 kg.m/s ) / 57.5475 kg

v = 0.026 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the receiver is 0.026 m/s

Answer: it is C

The thermistor

Explanation:

 Thermistors (temperature-sensitive, or thermal, resistors) are used as temperature-measuring devices and in electrical circuits to compensate for temperature variations of other components. They are also used to measure radio-frequency power and radiant power, such as infrared and visible light.

To measure the intensity of the electromagnetic wave after knowing the frequency, we can calculate it by using fast fourier transformations (FFT).

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

The time taken will be 0.553 seconds.

Explanation:

We should start off by finding the force exerted by the rope on the 3kg weight in this case.

Weight of 5kg mass = 5 * 9.81 = 49.05 N

Weight of 3kg mass = 3 * 9.81 = 29.43 N

The force acting upward on the 3kg mass will equal the weight of the 5kg mass. Thus the resultant force acting on the 3kg mass is:

Total force = 49.05 - 29.43 = 19.62 N (upwards)

We can now find the acceleration:

F = m * a

19.62 = 3 * a

a = 6.54 m/s^2

We now use the following equation of motion to get the time taken to travel 1 meter:

s=u*t+\frac{1}{2} (a*t^2)

1=0*t+\frac{1}{2} (6.54*t^2)

t = 0.553 seconds
