Answer:+1.25 m/s

Explanation:

Given

mass of ice skater M=70 kg

mass of ball m=10 kg

the initial velocity of the ball  u_1=+8\ m/s

Conserving linear momentum

M\times0+m\timesu_1=(M+m)v\quad \quad [v=\text{combined velocity of skater and ball}]

v=\dfrac{10\times10}{80}=+1.25\ m/s

Therefore the velocity of the person holding the ball is 1.25 m/s

This collision represents the perfectly inelastic collision where particles stick together after the collision.

Air escaping out from an air hose at a gas station always feels cool. Why? ​
kati45 [8]

Answer:

The air is contained at a high pressure in the tube. When it escapes from a small orifice, it suddenly expands. A large amount of its heat is absorbed in the process of expansion resulting in considerable fall in its temperature. This is why the escaping air feels cold.

Daniel takes his two dogs, Pauli the Pointer and Newton the Newfoundland, out to a field and lets them loose to exercise. Both d
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

Velocity of Pauli relative to Daniel = (-1.50ï + 3.90ĵ) m/s

x-component = -1.50 m/s

y-component = 3.90 m/s

Explanation:

Relative velocity of a body A relative to another body B, Vab, is given as

Vab = Va - Vb

where

Va = Relative velocity of body A with respect to another third body or frame of reference C

Vb = Relative velocity of body B with respect to that same third body or frame of reference C.

So, relative velocity can be given further as

Vab = Vac - Vbc

Velocity of Newton relative to Daniel = Vnd = 3.90 m/s due north = (3.90ĵ) m/s in vector form.

Velocity of Newton relative to Pauli = Vnp = 1.50 m/s due East = (1.50î) m/s in vector form

What is Pauli's velocity relative to Daniel?

Vpd = Vp - Vd

(Pauli's velocity relative to Daniel) = (Pauli's velocity relative to Newton) - (Daniel's velocity relative to Newton)

Vpd = Vpn - Vdn

Vpn = -Vnp = -(1.50î) m/s

Vdn = -Vnd = -(3.90ĵ) m/s

Vpd = -1.50î - (-3.90ĵ)

Velocity of Pauli relative to Daniel = (-1.50ï + 3.90ĵ) m/s

Hope this Helps!!!!
