Answer:
t = 20 s
Explanation:
Assuming no other forces acting on the skaters when they push off against each other, and that we can neglect friction, total momentum must be conserved.The initial momentum is just zero, because both skaters are at rest.So, when both are gliding to opposite edges of the rink, at any moment, we can write the following expression:[tex]p_{f} = m_{1} * v_{1} = m_{2} * v_{2} (1)[/tex]
where m₁ = 50 kg, m₂ = 75 kg.We know that the heavier skater reaches the edge in 30 s.Since the distance from the center to any point on the edge is just half the diameter, we can find the speed of the heavier skater as follows:[tex]v_{2} = \frac{15m}{30s} = 0.5 m/s (2)[/tex]
Replacing m₁, m₂ and v₂ in (1), we can solve for the only unknown (v₁) as follows:[tex]v_{1} = \frac{m_{2}*v_{2}}{m_{1} } = \frac{75 kg*0.5m/s}{50kg} = 0.75 m/s (3)[/tex]
Since the distance to the opposite edge from the center is the same than for the heavier skater, we can find the time needed for the lighter one to reach the edge as follows:[tex]t_{1} = \frac{15m}{0.75m/s} = 20 s (4)[/tex]An object, with mass 64 kg and speed 14 m/s relative to an observer, explodes into two pieces, one 2 times as massive as the other; the explosion takes place in deep space. The less massive piece stops relative to the observer. How much kinetic energy is added to the system during the explosion, as measured in the observer's reference frame
Answer:
K_f = 1881.6 J
Explanation:
To solve this exercise, let's start by finding the velocities of the bodies.
We define a system formed by the initial object and its parts, with this the forces during the explosion are internal and the moment is conserved
initial instant. Before the explosion
p₀ = M v₀
final instant. After the explosion
p_f = m₁ v + m₂ 0
the moeoto is preserved
p₀ = p_f
M v₀ = m₁ v
v = [tex]\frac{m_1}{M}[/tex] v₀
in the exercise they indicate that the most massive part has twice the other part
M = m₁ + m₂
M = 2m₂ + m₂ = 3 m₂
m₂ = M / 3
so the most massive part is worth
m₁ = 2 M / 3
we substitute
v = ⅔ v₀
with the speed of each element we can look for the kinetic energy
initial
K₀ = ½ M v₀²
Final
K_f = ½ m₁ v² + 0
K_f = ½ (⅔ M) (⅔ v₀)²
K_f = [tex]\frac{8}{27}[/tex] (½ M v₀²)
K_f = [tex]\frac{8}{27}[/tex] K₀
the energy added to the system is
ΔK = Kf -K₀
ΔK = (8/27 - 1) K₀
ΔK = -0.7 K₀
K_f = K₀ + ΔK
K_f = K₀ (1 -0.7)
K_f = 0.3 K₀
let's calculate
K_f = 0.3 (½ 64 14²)
K_f = 1881.6 J

A fox runs at a speed of 16 m/s and then stops to eat a rabbit. If this all took 120
seconds, what was his acceleration?
Answer:
a = 52s²
Explanation:
How to find acceleration
Acceleration (a) is the change in velocity (Δv) over the change in time (Δt), represented by the equation a = Δv/Δt. This allows you to measure how fast velocity changes in meters per second squared (m/s^2). Acceleration is also a vector quantity, so it includes both magnitude and direction.
Solve
We know initial velocity (u = 16), velocity (v = 120) and acceleration (a = ?)
We first need to solve the velocity equation for time (t):
v = u + at
v - u = at
(v - u)/a = t
Plugging in the known values we get,
t = (v - u)/a
t = (16 m/s - 120 m/s) -2/s2
t = -104 m/s / -2 m/s2
t = 52 s

Squids and octopuses propel themselves by expelling water. They do this by keeping water in a cavity and then suddenly contracting the cavity to force out the water through an opening. A 6.50 kg squid (including the water in the cavity) at rest suddenly sees a dangerous predator. Part A If the squid has 1.55 kg of water in its cavity, at what speed must it expel this water to instantaneously achieve a speed of 2.40 m/s to escape the predator
Answer:
10.1 m/s
Explanation:
By Newton's third law, the force on the squid and that due to the water expelled form an action reaction pair.
And by the law of conservation of momentum,
initial momentum of squid + expelled water = final momentum of squid + expelled water.
Now, the initial momentum of the system is zero.
So, 0 = final momentum of squid + expelled water
0 = MV + mv where M = mass of squid = 6.50kg, V = velocity of squid = 2.40m/s, m =mass of water in cavity = 1.55 kg and v = velocity of water expelled
So, MV + mv = 0
MV = -mv
v = -MV/m
= -6.50 kg × 2.40 m/s ÷ 1.55 kg
= -15.6 kgm/s ÷ 1.55 kg
= -10.1 m/s
So, speed must it expel this water to instantaneously achieve a speed of 2.40 m/s to escape the predator is 10.1 m/s

.
O 512K
Answer:
Approximately [tex]261\; \rm K[/tex], if this gas is an ideal gas, and that the quantity of this gas stayed constant during these changes.
Explanation:
Let [tex]P_1[/tex] and [tex]P_2[/tex] denote the pressure of this gas before and after the changes.
Let [tex]V_1[/tex] and [tex]V_2[/tex] denote the volume of this gas before and after the changes.
Let [tex]T_1[/tex] and [tex]T_2[/tex] denote the temperature (in degrees Kelvins) of this gas before and after the changes.
Let [tex]n_1[/tex] and [tex]n_2[/tex] denote the quantity (number of moles of gas particles) in this gas before and after the changes.
Assume that this gas is an ideal gas. By the ideal gas law, the ratios [tex]\displaystyle \frac{P_1 \cdot V_1}{n_1 \cdot T_1}[/tex] and [tex]\displaystyle \frac{P_2 \cdot V_2}{n_2 \cdot T_2}[/tex] should both be equal to the ideal gas constant, [tex]R[/tex].
In other words:
[tex]R = \displaystyle \frac{P_1 \cdot V_1}{n_1 \cdot T_1}[/tex].
[tex]R =\displaystyle \frac{P_2 \cdot V_2}{n_2 \cdot T_2}[/tex].
Combine the two equations (equate the right-hand side) to obtain:
[tex]\displaystyle \frac{P_1 \cdot V_1}{n_1 \cdot T_1} = \frac{P_2 \cdot V_2}{n_2 \cdot T_2}[/tex].
Rearrange this equation for an expression for [tex]T_2[/tex], the temperature of this gas after the changes:
[tex]\displaystyle T_2 = \frac{P_2}{P_1} \cdot \frac{V_2}{V_1} \cdot \frac{n_1}{n_2} \cdot T_1[/tex].
Assume that the container of this gas was sealed, such that the quantity of this gas stayed the same during these changes. Hence: [tex]n_2 = n_1[/tex], [tex](n_2 / n_1) = 1[/tex].
[tex]\begin{aligned} T_2 &= \frac{P_2}{P_1} \cdot \frac{V_2}{V_1} \cdot \frac{n_1}{n_2}\cdot T_1 \\[0.5em] &= \frac{1.67\; \rm atm}{1.12\; \rm atm} \times \frac{11.2\; \rm m^{3}}{15.7\; \rm m^{3}} \times 1 \times 245\; \rm K \\[0.5em] &\approx 261\; \rm K\end{aligned}[/tex].

a disk of a radius 50 cm rotates at a constant rate of 100 rpm. what distance in meters will a point on the outside rim travel during 30 seconds of rotation?
Answer:
239 rpm
Explanation: So the distance covered in one minute is 75,000 centimeters. The diameter of the wheel is 100 cm, so the radius is 50 cm, and the circumference is 100π cm. How many of these circumferences (or wheel revolutions) fit inside the 75,000 cm? In other words, if I were to peel this wheel's tread from the cart and lay it out flat, it would measure a distance of 100π cm. How many of these lengths fit into the entire distance covered in one minute? To find out how many of (this) fit into so many of (that), I must divide (that) by (this), so:
100πcm/rev
75,000cm/min
750 min rev≈238.7324146RPM
If a 75 W lightbulb is 15% efficient, how many joules of light energy does the bulb produce every minute?

d = Diameter of wheel = 6 in
r = Radius = 3 in = [tex]\dfrac{3}{12}=0.25\ \text{ft}[/tex]
t = Thickness = [tex]\dfrac{3}{4}=0.75\ \text{in}=\dfrac{0.75}{12}\ \text{ft}[/tex]

[tex]I=\dfrac{mr^2}{2}\\\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{0.326\times 0.25^2}{2}\\\Rightarrow I=0.01019\ \text{lb ft}^2[/tex]
Angular acceleration while slowing down is given by
[tex]\alpha_f=\dfrac{\omega}{t_2}\\\Rightarrow \alpha_f=\dfrac{3450\times \dfrac{2\pi}{60}}{35}\\\Rightarrow \alpha_f=10.32\ \text{rad/s}^2[/tex]
Frictional moment is given
[tex]\tau_f=I\alpha_f\\\Rightarrow \tau_f=0.01019\times 10.32\\\Rightarrow \tau_f=0.1052\ \text{lb ft}[/tex]
Frictional moment is [tex]0.1052\ \text{lb ft}[/tex]
Angular acceleration while speeding up is given by
[tex]\alpha=\dfrac{\omega}{t_1}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=\dfrac{3450\times \dfrac{2\pi}{60}}{5}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=72.26\ \text{rad/s}^2[/tex]

16. Two electric bulbs marked 100W 220V and 200W 200V have tungsten
filament of same length. Which of the two bulbs will have thicker
filament?
Answer:
The second bulb will have thicker filament
Explanation:
Given;
First electric bulb: Power, P₁ = 100 W and Voltage, V₁ = 220 V
Second electric bulb: Power, P₂ = 200 W and Voltage, V₂ = 200 V
Resistivity of tungsten, ρ = 4.9 x 10⁻⁸ ohm. m
Resistance of the first bulb:
[tex]P = IV = \frac{V}{R} .V = \frac{V^2}{R} \\\\R = \frac{V^2}{P} \\\\R_1 = \frac{V_1^2}{P_1} = \frac{(220)^2}{100} = 484 \ ohms[/tex]
Resistance of the second bulb:
[tex]R_2 = \frac{V_2^2}{P_2} = \frac{(200)^2}{200} = 200 \ ohms[/tex]
Resistivity of the tungsten filament is given by the following equation;
[tex]\rho = \frac{RA}{L}[/tex]
where;
L is the length of the filament
R is resistance of each filament
A is area of each filament
[tex]A = \pi r^2[/tex]
where;
r is the thickness of each filament
[tex]\rho = \frac{R (\pi r^2)}{L} \\\\\frac{\rho L}{\pi} = Rr^2 \\\\Recall ,\ \frac{\rho L}{\pi} \ is \ constant \ for \ both \ filaments\\\\R_1r_1^2 = R_2r_2^2\\\\(\frac{r_1}{r_2} )^2 = \frac{R_2}{R_1} \\\\\frac{r_1}{r_2} = \sqrt{\frac{R_2}{R_1} } \\\\\frac{r_1}{r_2} = \sqrt{\frac{200}{484} } \\\\\frac{r_1}{r_2} = 0.64\\\\r_1 = 0.64 \ r_2\\\\r_2 = 1.56 \ r_1[/tex]

An 80- quarterback jumps straight up in the air right before throwing a 0.43- football horizontally at 15 . How fast will he be moving backward just after releasing the ball? Suppose that the quarterback takes 0.30 to return to the ground after throwing the ball. How far d will he move horizontally, assuming his speed is constant?
Answer:
a)
the quarterback will be moving back at speed of 0.080625 m/s
b)
the distance moved horizontally by the quarterback is 0.0241875 m or 2.41875 cm
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
a)
How fast will he be moving backward just after releasing the ball?
using conservation of momentum;
m₁v₁ = m₂v₂
v₂ = m₁v₁ / m₂
where m₁ is initial mass ( 0.43 kg )
m₂ is the final mass ( 80 kg )
v₁ is the initial velocity ( 15 m/s )
v₂ is the final velocity
so we substitute
v₂ = ( 0.43 × 15 ) / 80
v₂ = 6.45 / 80
v₂ = 0.080625 m/s
Therefore, the quarterback will be moving back at speed of 0.080625 m/s
b) Suppose that the quarterback takes 0.30 to return to the ground after throwing the ball. How far d will he move horizontally, assuming his speed is constant?
we make use of the relation between time, distance and speed;
s = d/t
d = st
where s is the speed ( 0.080625 m/s )
t is time ( 0.30 s )
so we substitute
d = 0.080625 × 0.30
d = 0.0241875 m or 2.41875 cm
Therefore, the distance moved horizontally by the quarterback is 0.0241875 m or 2.41875 cm

Answer:
1. Wavelength = 3.2 m
2. Amplitude = 0.6 m
Explanation:
1. Determination of the wavelength.
The wavelength of a wave is defined as the distance between two successive crest. This implies that for every complete vibration, there is one wavelength.
From the diagram given above, we can see that the wave makes 2½ vibrations.
This means that there are 2½ equal wavelength of the wave. Therefore, the wavelength can be obtained as follow:
Length (L) = 8 m
Wavelength (λ) =?
2½ λ = L
5/2 λ = 8
5λ / 2 = 8
Cross multiply
5λ = 2 × 8
5λ = 16
Divide both side by 5
λ = 16 / 5
λ = 3.2 m
Therefore, wavelength of the wave is 3.2 m.
2. Determination of the amplitude.
The amplitude of a wave is defined as the maximum displacement of the wave from the origin.
From the diagram given above, the distance between the maximum and minimum displacement is given as 1.2 m. Thus, we can obtain the amplitude of wave as follow:
Distance between the maximum and minimum displacement (D) = 1.2
Amplitude (A) =?
A = ½D
A = ½ × 1.2
A = 0.6 m
Thus, the amplitude of the wave is 0.6 m
