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

4 0

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 .

A 9V battery produces a 1.5A current in a piece of wire. What is the resistance of the wire?
MAVERICK [17]

Explanation:

Using Ohm's Law and a bit of substitution, we can use voltage divided by current to solve for resistance. Doing that, we'll get 6 Ohm.

It takes a car traveling at 18 m/s, 240 seconds to reach Chick-Fil-A from the school. Determine how far Chick-Fil-A is from the
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

The requested distance is 4320 meters

Explanation:

We can use the formula for velocity in this movement at constant velocity (v), which is defined as the quotient between the distance covered divided the time it took:

v=\frac{distance}{time}

Since we know the velocity and the time, we can solve for the distance:

\neq v=\frac{distance}{time} \\18\,\frac{m}{s}  = \frac{distance}{240\,\,s} \\distance=18\,*\,240\,\,m\\distance= 4320\,\,m

What is The common value for the speed of light in a vacuum
Talja [164]
The most common value for the speed of light is 3*10^8 meters/second.

A more accurate number is <span>299 792 458 m/second, but that number is hardly ever used.</span>
