Answer:

v_f = 10.85 m/s

Explanation:

We will apply the law of conservation of momentum here:

m_{1}v_{1i} + m_{2}v_{2i} = m_{1}v_{1f}+m_{2}v_{2f}\\

where,

m₁ = mass of roller skater = 47 kg

m₂ = mass of bag = 6 kg

v_1i = initial speed of roller skater = 12 m/s

v_2i = initial speed of the bag = 0 m/s

v_1f = final speed of the roller skater = ?

v_2f = final speed of the bag = ?

Both the bag and the skater will have same speed at the end because kater is carrying the bag:

v_1f = v_2f = v_f

Therefore, the equation will become:

(47\ kg)(12\ m/s)+(6\ kg)(0\ m/s)=(47\ kg)(v_{f})+(5\ kg)(v_{f})\\564\ N.s = (47\ kg+5\ kg)(v_{f})\\v_{f} = \frac{564\ N.s}{52\ kg}\\

<u>v_f = 10.85 m/s</u>

worty [1.4K]
Big Bang is a theory that, as stated above, has grown to become widely acceptable scientific explanation of the origin of things. Research would say that according to this theory, the Earth originated billion years ago through an explosive of a highly energized point.

Through this explosion, the elements were formed. However, only the lightest of the elements including hydrogen and helium, with traces of lithium and beryllium. From the choices, the answer would have to be the second choice, helium.

Answer: B. helium

How can you use the movement of molecules to determine when a phase change has occurred?
baherus [9]

Answer:

These energy exchanges are not changes in kinetic energy. They are changes in bonding energy between the molecules. If heat is coming into a substance during a phase change, then this energy is used to break the bonds between the molecules of the substance. The example we will use here is ice melting into water.
