After sliding down a snow-covered hill on an inner tube, ashley is coasting across a level snowfield at a constant velocity of +3.0 m/s. miranda runs after her at a velocity of +4.2 m/s and hops on the inner tube.
how fast do the two of them slide across the snow together on the inner tube? ashley's mass is 69 kg and miranda's is 59 kg. ignore the mass of the inner tube and any friction between the inner tube and the snow.

Their combined velocity on the inner tube is +3.55 m/s

Explanation:

This question deals with the conservation of linear momentum. The total linear momentum in a closed system is conserved.

Therefore,

P_i = P_f

m₁ v₁  + m₂ v₂  = (m₁ + m₂) v₁₂

where

Therefore,                                                                        

v₁₂ = (m₁ v₁  + m₂ v₂) / (m₁ + m₂)

v₁₂ = ( (69 kg)(3 m/s)  + (59 kg)(4.2 m/s) ) / (69 kg + 59 kg)

v₁₂ = +3.55 m/s

Therefore, Ashley and Miranda's combined velocity on the inner tube is +3.55 m/s.

The positive sign shows that the velocity is in the positive direction.

firearm identification is the process of analyzing the bullets and cartridge cases left at a crime scene to determine if they came from a particular firearm. marks on the bullets and cartridges may be common to every firearm of that type. these are called class characteristics.

as we probably am aware that our atmosphere or air have various levels, each level has different gasses, and each gas has another porousness. at the point when the light originates from lower porousness to higher penetrability, it alters its course. with the goal that implies that when the light originates from the moon to the earth, it alters it's course a lot more occasions. it essentially implies that the state of the light piece of the moon is changed on the earth.

not copied too! hope this !
