Hi there Can someone please help me? I am confused on how to complete this question. Two ice skaters, with masses of 77 kg and 51 kg, stand facing each other on a 12-m-wide frozen river. The skaters push off against each other, glide backward straight toward the river's edges, and reach the edges at exactly the same time. How far did the 77 kg skater glide? Thank you!
A 3 kg mass is located at (-3, 3), a 7 kg mass is located at (4, 2) and a 1.2 kg mass is located at (1, -1). (a) Calculate the x coordinate and y coordinate of the center of mass for the mass system. (b) What happens to the center of mass as the 1.2 kg mass is gradually increased?
Suppose that you know the geometric center of the shape you have created is, can you say that it is automatically the same point as the center of mass? Explain further
A 3.5 kg rifle fires an 11 g bullet with a velocity of 575 m/s. (a) What is the recoil velocity of the rifle? (b) If the shooter holds the rifle firmly against his shoulder, what will be the recoil velocity? Assume the mass of the shooter is 45.0 kg. Perform the GRESA in solving.
A 68.5 kg astronaut is doing a repair in space on the orbiting space station. She throws a 2.35 kg tool away from her at 3.10 m/s relative to the space station. a) With what speed will she begin to move?
Valentina, a Russian cosmonaut, exits her ship for a space walk. When she is 15 m from the ship and floating motionless, her tether catches on a sharp piece of metal and is severed. Valentina quickly reacts by tossing her 2 kg camera away from the spaceship with a speed of 12 m/s. a). How fast will Valentina, whose combined mass with spacesuit is 188 kg, float toward the spaceship? (Round answer to nearest hundredth). b) Assuming that the space ship remains at rest with respect to her, How long (in seconds) will it take for her to float back to the ship ?
The velocity of a 10-kg object is given by v=5t2i(7t+2t3)j, where if t is in seconds, then v will be in meters per second. a. What is the net force on the object as a function of time? b. What is the momentum of the object when t = 15.0 s?
Can momentum be conserved for a system if there are external forces acting on the system? If so, under what conditions? If not, why not?
Each Voyager spacecraft was accelerated toward escape speed from the Sun by the gravitational force exerted by Jupiter on the spacecraft. (a) Is the gravitational force a conservative or a nonconservative force? (b) Does the interaction of the spacecraft with Jupiter meet the definition of an elastic collision? (c) How could the space-craft be moving faster after the collision?
In a head-on, inelastic collision, a 4,000-kg truck going 10 m/s east strikes a 1,000-kg car going 20 m/s west. (a) What is the speed and direction of the wreckage? (b) How much kinetic energy was lost in the Collision?
Two carts on an air track have the same mass and speed and are traveling towards each other. If they collide and stick together, find (a) the total momentum and (b) total kinetic energy of the system, (c) Describe a different colliding system with this same final momentum and kinetic energy.
