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

When the speed of your car is doubled, by what factor does its kinetic energy increase?
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

a. 4

Explanation:

Hi there!

The equation of kinetic energy (KE) is the following:

KE = 1/2 · m · v²

Where:

m = mass of the car.

v = speed of the car.

Let´s see how would be the equation if the velocity is doubled (2 · v)

KE2 = 1/2 · m · (2 · v)²

Distributing the exponent:

KE2 = 1/2 · m · 2² · v²

KE2 = 1/2 · m · 4 · v²

KE2 = 4 (1/2 · m · v²)      

KE2 = 4KE

Doubling the velocity increased the kinetic energy by 4.

PLEASE HELP MEE PLEASE I BEG
TEA [102]

Explanation: (I think)

Plug your values into the momentum equation.

So m1= 63kg

m2 = 10 kg

V1 = 12 m/s

And then plug in your values and solve for your unknown (v2)

An electron, moving south, enters a uniform magnetic field. Because of this uniform magnetic field, the electron curves upward.
Flura [38]

Answer:

Towards the west

Explanation:

Magnetic force is the interaction between a moving charged particle and a magnetic field.

Magnetic force is given as

F = q (V × B)

Where F is the magnetic force

q is the charge

V is the velocity

B is the magnetic field

V×B means the cross product of the velocity and the magnetic field

NOTE:

i×i=j×j×k×k=0

i×j=k.  j×i=-k

j×k=i.  k×j=-i

k×i=j.  i×k=-j

So, if the electron is moving southward, then, it implies that the velocity of it motion is southward, so the electron is in the positive z-direction

Also, the electron is curved upward due to the magnetic field, this implies that the force field is directed up in the positive y direction.

Then,

V = V•k

F = F•j

Then, apply the theorem

F •j = q ( V•k × B•x)

Let x be the unknown

From vector k×i =j.

This shows that x = i

Then, the magnetic field point in the direction of positive x axis, which is towards the west

You can as well use the Fleming right hand rule

The thumb represent force

The index finger represent velocity

The middle finger represent field

Check all that are true about waterfalls
Lerok [7]
Waterfalls are created when a river flows following a descending rapid slope. The waterfall, then, flows from the source (where it starts) to the mouth (where it ends).
Waterfalls are created when the erosion of the rocks at the bottom of the slope is more powerful than the erosion of the rocks on the top.
After many years the water is able to erode the rocks on the top as well, and the waterfall slowly disappears.

Therefore the options that apply are:
b) waterfalls move towards their mouth;
c) the top or cap rock is resistant to erosion;
<span>f) waterfalls indicate a youthful river </span>
