A high school physics teacher also happens to be the junior hockey team coach. During a break at practice, the coach asks two pl

ayers to go to the center of the ice with a 10.0-m pole. A 40-kg player is at one end of the pole and a 60-kg player is at the other end. The players then start pulling themselves together by pulling the rod and sliding on the ice as they move along the rod. When the two players meet, what distance will the 60-kg player have moved

Answer:

Explanation:

Since no external force acts on the system , centre of mass of two players will remain the same throughout the movement .

Distance of centre of mass is inversely proportional to mass . So centre of mass of the system will be nearer to 60 kg player

Distance of cetre of mass from 60 kg player

= 10 x 40 / (60+40 )

= 4 m

They will meet at centre of mass .

So, 60 kg player will be moving by a distance of 4 m , 40 kg player will be moving by 6 m before they meet .

10. How much U.S. oil demand is represented by the large oil tanker?
dexar [7]
Base on my research, as of 2004 The U.S. devours about 20 million barrels of oil a day, according to the CIA. But base on Wikipedia, it says that a normal large tanker can only carry around 2 million barrels of oil. So to supply the U.S with this oil per day, it needs 10 normal large oil tankers.

A spearfisher stands in shallow water and sees a fish a few feet in front of her. She throws her spear directly toward the posit
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

the spear will end up above the fish relative to the actual position of the fish.

Explanation:

due to refraction of light coming from the fish the fish will appear slightly above from its real position

So due to this refraction the spearfisher will throw the spear directly at the image of the fish due to which it will not reach the position of fish but it will reach the position above the fish.

So here we can say that the spear will end up above the fish relative to the actual position of the fish

At what speed do a bicycle and its rider, with a combined mass of 100 kg , have the same momentum as a 1600 kg car traveling at
noname [10]
Given:\\m_b=100kg\\m_c=1600kg\\v_c=5.2 \frac{m}{s} \\p_b=p_c\\\\Find:\\v_b=?\\\\Solution:\\\\p_b=p_c\\\\p=mv\\\\m_bv_b=m_cv_c\Rightarrow v_b= \frac{m_cv_c}{m_b} \\\\v_b= \frac{1600kg\cdot5.2 \frac{m}{s}  }{100kg} =83.2 \frac{m}{s}

Can you answer these 2 ?
vredina [299]

Answer:

1. 38,500

2. 308,000

Explanation:

This would require a calculator. To find momentum, you multiply mass and velocity. You always want your mass to be measure in kilograms, but that is irrelevant in this question because they already are, it is just something to remember.

Two dump trucks each have a mass of 1,500 kg. The distance of the dump truck
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

6.00 x 10⁻⁸N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of each dump trucks  = 1500kg

Distance between them  = 50m

Unknown:

New gravitational force between them = ?

Solution:

From Newton's law of universal gravitation,

        F = \frac{G m1 m2}{r^{2} }  

F is the gravitational force

G is the universal gravitation constant

m is the mass

r is the distance

           F  = \frac{6.67 x 10^{-11} x 1500  x 1500}{50^{2} }    = 6.00 x 10⁻⁸N
