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 .

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

a= 92. 13 m/s²

Explanation:

Given that

Amplitude ,A= 0.165 m

The maximum speed ,V(max) = 3.9 m/s

We know that maximum velocity in the SHM  given as

V(max)  = ω A

ω=Angular speed

A=Amplitude

\omega =\dfrac{3.9}{0.165}\ rad/s

ω=23.63 rad/s

The maximum acceleration given as

a = ω² A

a= (23.63)² x 0.165 m/s²

a= 92. 13 m/s²

Therefore the maximum magnitude of the acceleration will be 92. 13 m/s².

How many neutrons does element X have if it’s atomic number is 28 and it’s mass number is 81?
labwork [276]

Well let’s put it this way. To find the neutrons you subtract the atomic atomic Nuremberg from the atomic mass. So

Mass=81-Number=28

81-28=53

Final answer is 53.

The force between a pair of .005 charges is 750 N. What is the distance between them?
Ganezh [65]

Question: The force between a pair of 0.005 C is 750 N. What is the distance between them?

Answer:

17.32 m

Explanation:

From coulomb's Law,

F = kqq'/r²........................... Equation 1

Where F = Force between the force, q' and q = both charges respectively, k = coulomb's constant, r = distance between both charges.

make r the subject of the equation above

r = √(kqq'/F)..................... Equation 2

From the question,

Given: q = q' = 0.005 C, F = 750 N

Constant: k = 9.0×10⁹ Nm²/C².

Substitute these values into equation 2

r = √(9.0×10⁹×0.005×0.005/750)

r = √(300)

r = 17.32 m.

Hence the distance between the pair of charges = 17.32 m
