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 .

If the wavelength of a wave is quadrupied then what happens to the frequency of the wqve(Assume speed is constant) ​
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

What happens to the wavelength of a wave if you double the frequency?

If the frequency of a wave is increased, what happens to its wavelength? As the frequency increases, the wavelength decreases. 2. If the frequency is doubled, the wavelength is only half as long.

what is the magnitude of g at a height above earth surface where free fall acceleration equal 6.5m/s2
ZanzabumX [31]
The magnitude of gravity is expressed in terms of its acceleration. So the magnitude of ' g ' at that altitude is exactly 6.5 m/s^2.

The pressure of a gas is reduced from 1200.0 mm hg to 850.0 mm hg as the volume of its container is increased by moving a piston
Kamila [148]
From gas laws:
\frac{PV}{T} = Constant

Therefore,
\frac{ P_{1}  V_{1} }{ T_{1} } =  \frac{ P_{2}  V_{2} }{ T_{2} }

P1 = 1200 mm
V1 = 85 ml
T1 = 90°C = 363.15 K
P2 = 850 mm
V2 = 350 ml
T2 = ?

Substituting;
T_{2} =  \frac{ P_{2}  V_{2}  T_{1} }{ P^{1}  V^{1} } =  \frac{850*350*363.15}{1200*85} = 1059.19 K = 786.04 °C
