The male skater reaches a velocity of 13.71 m/s. According to the principle of conservation of momentum, m1u1 = (m1 + m2)u2, where m1 signifies the mass of the male skater at 78.2 kg, m2 is the mass of the female partner at 48.5 kg, u1 is the male skater's resulting velocity from the push, and u2 is the velocity imparted to the female skater, which was 8.46 m/s. Through the formula, we find u1 = [(78.2 + 48.5) × 8.46] ÷ 78.2, which calculates to 1071.882 ÷ 78.2 resulting in u1 = 13.71 m/s.
The terminal velocity of the object is 12.58 m/s.
Explanation: Terminal velocity occurs when the drag force equals the weight of the object. The gravitational force is calculated as mg = 80 * 9.8 = 784 N. The drag force can then be equated to solve for the terminal velocity, resulting in v = 12.58 m/s or v = -15.58 m/s (which is unfeasible). Thus, the terminal velocity of the falling object is 12.58 m/s.
By breaking down vector b into its x and y components, we form a right triangle where bx lies along the x-axis, by along the y-axis, and b represents the hypotenuse.
The x component bx equals the hypotenuse multiplied by the cosine of the angle between b and the x-axis, which is shown in
