Two ice skaters, with masses of 40.0 kg and 65.0 kg , are at the center of a 50.0 m -diameter circular rink. The skaters push of

f against each other and glide to opposite edges of the rink. Part A If the heavier skater reaches the edge in 10.0 s , how long does the lighter skater take to reach the edge

Answer:

6.15 s

Explanation:

From the question,

Applying the law of conservation of momentum

Momentum of the Heavier skater = Momentum of the lighter skater.

Mv = mV................. Equation 1

Where M = mass of the heavier skater, m = mass of the lighter skater, v = Velocity of heavier skater, V = velocity of the lighter skater.

But,

v = r/t........................ Equation 2

V = r/t'................ Equation 3

Where r = radius of the circular rink, t = time taken for the heavier skater to reach the edge, t' = time taken for the lighter skater to reach the edge.

Substitute equation 2 and equation 3 into equation 1

M(r/t) = m(r/t')............. Equation 4

Given: M = 65 kg, m = 40 kg, r = 50/2 = 25 m, t = 10 s.

Substitute into equation 4 and solve for t'

65(25/10) = 40(25/t')

162.5 = 1000/t'

t' = 1000/162.5

t' = 6.15 seconds

What are the seasonal changes in the weasel in florida and the weasel in wyoming
AlekseyPX
Winter weasels, also called ermines or short-tailed weasels, have coats that turn from light brown to white in the winter. The color change begins at their stomachs and works its way outward, occurring in both spring and fall. Other species, like the long-tailed weasel, may turn at least partially white as well.

The length of daylight, not temperature, prompts the color change. As a result, weasels in winter may be stark white against a brown landscape before snow starts to fall. During warmer winters, this makes them easy prey for larger predators such as foxes, martens, and badgers.

How much energy is used when a 110kw appliance is used for 3 hours
Bogdan [553]
We could take the easy way out and just say

(110 kW) x (3 hours) = 330 kilowatt hours .

But that's cheap, and hardly worth even 5 points.
If we want to talk energy, let's use the actual scientific unit of energy.
________________________________________________

" 110 kw " means 110,000 watts = 110,000 joules/second .

(3 hours) x (3600 sec/hour) = 10,800 seconds.

(110,000 joules/second) x (10,800 seconds) = 1.188 x 10⁹ Joules

 That's

==>  1,188,000,000 joules

==>  1,188,000 kilojoules

==>  1,188 megajoules

==>  1.188 gigajoules

Atsa nawfulotta energy ! 
It goes back to that "110 kw appliance" that we started with. 
That's no common ordinary household appliance.  110 kw is something like
147 horsepower.  In order to bring 110 kw into your house, you'd need to
take 458 Amperes through the 240-volt line from the pole.  Most houses
are limited to 100 or 200 Amperes, tops.  And the TRANSFORMER on
the pole, that supplies the whole neighborhood, is probably a 50 kw unit.
