On an ice skating rink, a girl of mass 50 kg stands stationary, face to face with a boy of mass 80 kg. The children push off of

one another, and the boy moves away with a velocity of 3 m/s. What is the final velocity of the girl? â€"1. 9 m/s 1. 9 m/s â€"4. 8 m/s 4. 8 m/s.

The velocity of the girl is  -4.8 m/s.

Using the principle of conservation of linear momentum, The total momentum of  bodies before and after collision is constant. Since the two objects are stationary, the initial momentum of each body is zero.

Thus;

0 = (80 × 3) + (50 × v)

0 = 240 + 50 v

-240 = 50 v

v = -240/50

v = -4.8 m/s

Note that the negative sign shows that the velocity of the girl is in opposite direction that that of the girl.

Does changing amplitude, wavelength or frequency play a role in how bluetooth acts?
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Yes, bluetooth devices work in a frequency range between 2.4 - 2.485GHz. Outside this frequency the devices will not communicate with each other correctly. This frequency equals a wavelength of around 1cm. Therefore, any change in the amplitude or wavelength would need to be in relation to each other in order to maintain the frequency in the required range for the bluetooth device to work accordingly. If one increases while the other remains the same it can easily change the frequency to outside the range.

Tema [17]

Answer:

b) the reflected pulse returns inverted while the transmitted pulse is right side up

Explanation:

A wave pulse traveling to the right along a thin cord reaches a discontinuity where the rope becomes thicker and heavier.

Then, as far as orientation of reflected and transmitted pulses are concerned the reflected pulse returns inverted while the transmitted pulse is right side up.

Hence the correct answer is b.

A disgruntled physics student, frustrated with
Nata [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

The balloon would require a time of

t = d/v = 13.5/ (23.6cos38) = 0.7259...s

to travel the horizontal distance.

the vertical position relative to the throw point at that time is

h = 0 + (23.6sin38)(0.7259) + ½(-9.8)(0.7259²)

h = 7.9652...

so as long as the adjacent building is at least 8.0 m higher than the student position, the balloon is in the air for 0.726 s.

If the building is shorter than 8.0 m above the student, the balloon will land on the building roof and will be in the air for a longer period of time
