At the center of a 50-mm-diameter circular ice rink, a 76 kg skater traveling north at 2.7 m/s collides with and holds onto a 61 kg skater who had been heading west at 3.8 m/s .

How long will it take them to glide to the edge of the rink?

Express your answer using two significant figures.

Where will they reach it? Give your answer as an angle north of west.

Solutions

Expert Solution

In order to find the time to reach the edge of the rink, we have to use the conservation of momentum in x and y direction for both skaters.

Moe and Larry are ice skating at their neighborhood rink. Moe (100 kg) is heading north at 3 mys when he collides with Larry (75 kg) who is heading east at 2 m/s. They fall in a heap on the ice and cling on to each other for dear life as they go skidding across the rinK. a lf momentum is conserved in this collision, write out the equation or equations for momentum conservation. Otherwise, indicate NOT CONSERVED. b if...

A small girl is skating around on an ice rink. Her mass is 30 kg, and her speed is 4.0 m/s. She sees a 50 kg sled at rest on the rink that was left there by a careless worker, and she decides to jump onto the sled. Assume no friction between the sled and the ice. a. Find the child-sled system’s speed immediately after the child jumps onto the sled. b. Find the child-sled system’s kinetic energy immediately after...

A bloke of mass 5 kg slides along an ice rink with a velocity of 3 m/s. It strikes another block of mass 4 kg in a perfectly elastic collision sending the second block sliding along the ice. The second block them collides with a third block with a massive 5 kg. Assuming to find a collision is perfectly elastic what is the velocity of the final block

) A 50 mm-diameter propeller was installed in a 150 mm-diameter water pipe and the propeller speed was measured for a range of water discharge in the pipe. The water had a density and dynamic viscosity of 1000 kg/m3 and 0.00112 Ns/m2 respectively. The measured results were as follows: Q (litres/s): 12 28 45 63 95 120 160 180 N (rps): 5 10 15 20 30 40 60 80 Plot the dependence of propeller coefficient against propeller Reynolds number. A...

A) Estimate the rotational inertia of a 60-kg ice skater by considering her body to be a cylinder. Assume she's holding her arms tight to her torso, so they don't contribute significantly to her rotational inertia. Suppose that the distance from the center of rotation to the shoulders is 0.2 mm. B) Estimate the rotational inertia if she extends her arms fully. Suppose that the arm span of the ice skater is 1.6 mm and the arms make up 15...
