A70.0-kg person throws a 0.0420-kg snowball forward with a ground speed of 35.0 m/s. a second person, with a mass of 57.0 kg, catches the snowball. both people are on skates. the first person is initially moving forward with a speed of 2.20 m/s, and the second person is initially at rest. what are the velocities of the two people after the snowball is exchanged?

so throwers new velocity = 2.18032m/s

so catchers new velocity = 0.02577m/s

Explanation:

Directly by conservation of momentum we can write

let x be the thrower's new velocity

(70+0.042)×2.2 + 57×0 = 70× x +0.042×35 +57×0

x = 2.18032m/s

so the velocity of 70 kg man = 2.18032m/s

so throwers new velocity = 2.18032m/s

now again by conservation of momentum

0.042×35 = (57+0.042) ×y

y = 0.02577m/s

so catchers new velocity = 0.02577m/s

-first use of geothermal energy occurred more than 10,000 years ago in north america by american paleo-indians

-the first industrial use of geothermal energy began near pisa, italy in late 18th century

-in 1904, italian scientist piero ginori conti invented the first geothermal electric power plant in which steam was used to generate the power

-with the above experiment, the first geothermal plant in usa started in 1922 with a capacity of 250 kilowatts

-however, in 1946 first ground-source geothermal heat pump installed at commonwealth building in portland, oregon

-during the 1960’s, pacific gas and electric began operation of first large scale geothermal power plant in san francisco, producing 11 megawatts

-in 1973, when oil crisis began many countries began looking for renewable energy sources and by 1980’s geothermal heat pumps (ghp) started gaining popularity in order to reduce heating and cooling costs

-as effect of climate change started showing results, governments of various countries joined hands to fight against it, for which kyoto protocol was signed in japan in 1997, laid out emission targets for rich countries and required that they transfer funds and technology to developing countries, 184 countries have ratified it

hope this
