A mother (mass 60.0 kg) skates across an ice rink with negligible friction toward her child (mass 20.0 kg), who is standing stil

l on the ice. If the mother moves at 4.0 m/s before she picks up her child, what is her new speed after she picks up her child and holds onto him

We have that the new speed after she picks up her child is mathematically given as

V2=3m/s

<h3>Speed</h3>

The speed of a body is simply the rate at which the body moves or functions, the speed of a body is measured with an SI unit of m/s.

Generally the equation for the Velocity is mathematically given as

m1v1=m2v2

Therefore

$v2=\frac{60*4}{60+20}$

V2=3m/s

A bowling ball traveling with constant speed hits the pins at the end of a bowling lane 16.5 m long. The bowler hears the sound

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

$5.997m/s$

Explanation:

We were told to calculate the speed of the ball,

Given speed of sound as 340 m

And we know that the sound of the ball hitting the pins is at 2.80 s after the ball is released from his hands.

Speed of ball = distance traveled/(time of hearing - time the sound travels).

Speed= S/t

Where S= distance traveled

t= time of hearing - time the sound travels

time=time for ball to roll+timefor sound to come back.

time of sound=16.5/340

=0.048529secs

solving for speedof ball

Then,Speed of ball = distance traveled/(time of hearing - time the sound travels).

=16.5/(2.80-0.048529) m/s = 5.997m/s

Therefore, the speed of the ball is

5.997m/s

In a high school swim competition, a student takes 1.6 s to complete 1.5 somersaults. Determine the average angular speed of the

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

The angular speed is $w = 5.89 \ rad/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The time taken is $t = 1.6 s$

The number of somersaults is n = 1.5

The total angular displacement during the somersault is mathematically represented as

$\theta = n * 2 * \pi$

substituting values

$\theta = 1.5 * 2 * 3.142$

$\theta = 9.426 \ rad$

The angular speed is mathematically represented as

$w = \frac{\theta }{t}$

substituting values

$w = \frac{9.426}{1.6}$

$w = 5.89 \ rad/s$

Suppose you are pushing a 3 kg box with a force of 25 N (directed parallel to the ground) over a distance of 15 m. Afterward, th

alex41 [277]

Answer: 321 J

Explanation:

Given

Mass of the box $m=3\ kg$

Force applied is $F=25\ N$

Displacement of the box is $s=15\ m$

Velocity acquired by the box is $v=6\ m/s$

acceleration associated with it is $a=\dfrac{F}{m}$

$\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{25}{3}\ m/s^2$

Work done by force is $W=F\cdot s$

$W=25\times 15\\W=375\ J$

change in kinetic energy is $\Delta K$

$\Rightarrow \Delta K=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-0)\\\\\Rightarrow \Delta K=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 3\times 6^2\\\\\Rightarrow \Delta K=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 3\times 36\\\\\Rightarrow \Delta K=54\ J$

According to work-energy theorem, work done by all the forces is equal to the change in the kinetic energy

$\Rightarrow W+W_f=\Delta K\quad [W_f=\text{Work done by friction}]\\\\\Rightarrow 375+W_f=54\\\Rightarrow W_f=-321\ J$

Therefore, the magnitude of work done by friction is $321\ J$
