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

Light is traveling through the different media shown. In which medium does light travel fastest?
bija089 [108]
Light travelling in a vacuum is the fastest thing in the universe. The speed would be 2.99x10^8 m/s. The answer to this question is 'vacuum', where light can travel the fastest. I hope this helps you. You're welcome!

You have seen magnets sticking to the refrigerator door, or maybe in your science class room. They attract metal items, for exam
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

B) shrinks

Explanation:

The magnetic force is a force exerted between two magnets, or two magnetic materials, or also on an electric charge moving in a magnetic field.

If we talk about magnetic material, the magnetic field they generates can be represented using a dipole: essentially, they have a north pole (where the lines of the field go out) and a south pole (where the lines of the field go in).

Also, the lines spread apart as we move away from the magnet itself. This means that the strength of the field (and so, the intensity of the force) decreases as we move away from the magnet.

Using this description, we can now understand that when we move the paper clip further from the magnet, the force exerted on the clip decreases, as the magnetic field becomes weaker. So, the correct answer is B.

A passenger train left station A at 6:00 p.m. Moving with the average speed 45 mph, it arrived at station B at 10:00 p.m. A tran
marishachu [46]
<h2>Average speed of transit train is 60 mph</h2>

Explanation:

Average speed of passenger train = 45 mph

Time taken from station A to station B for passenger train  = 10:00 - 6:00 = 4 hours

Distance between station A to station B = 45 x 4 = 180 miles.

Time taken from station A to station B for transit train  =  4 - 1 = 3 hours

Distance between station A to station B = Average speed of transit train x Time taken from station A to station B for transit train

180 = Average speed of transit train x 3

Average speed of transit train = 60 mph

Average speed of transit train is 60 mph

A balloon is filled to a volume of 7.00*10^2 mL at a temperature of 20.0°C. The balloon is then cooled at constant pressure to a
wolverine [178]

The final volume of the gas is 238.9 mL

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using Charle's law, which states that for a gas kept at constant pressure, the volume of the gas (V) is proportional to its absolute temperature (T):

\frac{V}{T}=const.

Which can be also re-written as

\frac{V_1}{T_1}=\frac{V_2}{T_2}

where

V_1, V_2 are the initial and final volumes of the gas

T_1, T_2 are the initial and final temperature of the gas

For the gas in the balloon in this problem, we have:

V_1 = 7.00\cdot 10^2 mL = 700 mL is the initial volume

T_1=20.0^{\circ}C+273=293 K is the initial absolute temperature

V_2 is the final volume

T_2 = 1.00\cdot 10^2 K = 100 K is the final temperature

Solving for V_2,

V_2 = \frac{V_1 T_2}{T_1}=\frac{(700)(100)}{293}=238.9 mL

This question is related to inertia:
luda_lava [24]
The way I do it is suddenly, in the same sort of way that magicians try to pull a table cloth off a table when there's things on the table cloth.The sudden approach acts as an impulse of force and starts to accelerate the roll. But, the piece (assuming it has perforations) is off the roll before the roll can move, due to inertia. Then the roll will acclerate, move, slow down and stop. However, in accelerating, the roll will unravel. The bigger the impulse the more it will unravel.+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++If on the other hand, the piece of paper is held firmly, and the roll is pulled, then the impulse is presumably given to the paper and the hand whose inertia is a lot more than that of the roll. So, I think I'd actually go for choice c)+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++This assumes that the roll is free to rotate.I think that a similar idea is behind the design and use of a "ballistic galvanometer". The charge is passed through the galvanometer quickly, as a current pulse. Then the needle starts to deflect, and the deflection is arranged to depend on the total charge that has passed through in the time of the current pulse.
