James (mass 95.0 kg ) and ramon (mass 67.0 kg ) are 20.0 m apart on a frozen pond. midway between them is a mug of their favorite beverage. they pull on the ends of a light rope stretched between them. ramon pulls on the rope to give himself a speed of 1.10 m/s. what is james's speed?

Answer from: babygirlslay109

The speed of James is 0.776 m/s

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

mass of James = 95.0 kg

mass of Ramon = 67.0 kg

We consider James and Ramon and the rope to a single system. This means that the net external forces on the system = 0

.The momentum = 0, so the sum of the momentum of each part must be 0 in total.

Step 2: Calculate the speed of James

m(james) *v(James) = m(Ramon) * v(Ramon)

with m(James) = the mass of James = 95.0 kg

with v(James) = speed of James = TO BE DETERMINED

with m(Ramon) = mass of Ramon = 67.0 kg

with v(Ramon) = speed of Ramon = 1.10 m/s

v(James) = (m(Ramon) * v(Ramon))/ m(james)

v(James) = (67.0 kg* 1.10 m/s) / 95.0 kg

v(James) = 0.776 m/s

The speed of James is 0.776 m/s

Answer from: Quest

scattering of light by tiny particles in air to produce the colors we see on sky, is dependent on the following factors:

(i) wavelength of light

(ii) size of the scattering particle

(iii) distance traveled by light through the atmosphere.

according to rayleigh's law of scattering, the amount of scattering is inversely proportional to the fourth power of its wavelength. shorter the wavelength, greater is its scattering. hence violet/blue light is scattered more than red.

sun's light is a composite light ( visible light) with wavelengths in the range 400 nm (violet) to 700 nm (red). as sunlight passes through our atmosphere, the molecules of air scatter light according to their wavelengths. during sunrise and sunset, the sun's position is below the horizon. hence light from the sun travels a greater distance in the atmosphere when compared to its position a noon.

as sunlight enters the earth's atmosphere, blue light is scattered away and at the end of its journey in the sky, only red and orange wavelengths remain in the beam.

hence at sunrise and sunset, the sky appears reddish orange.

A23 kg log of wood begins from rest, 300 m up a sluice (a water track used to transport logs, think of it as an inclined plane with negligible friction) inclined at 20° to the horizontal. after it reaches the flat waterway at the bottom it collides elastically with a 100 kg block of wood initially at rest near the base of the incline. (a) how long does it take the 23 kg log to travel down the incline? (b) what is the speed of the 23 kg log at the bottom of the incline? (c) what are the velocities of both blocks of wood after the collision? (d) what is the total kinetic energy before the collision? (e) what is the kinetic energy of the 23 kg log after the collision? (f) what is the kinetic energy of the 100 kg block of wood after the collision? (g) what is the total kinetic energy after the collision? (h) compare the total initial and total final kinetic energies. is this consistent with what you would expect for elastic collisions? explain!
