The second person will have a velocity of 0.85 m/s in the opposite direction of the first person.

Explanation:

Law Of Conservation Of Linear Momentum

The total momentum of a system of bodies is conserved unless an external force is applied. The formula for the momentum of a body with mass m and velocity v is:

P=mv.

If we have a system of bodies, then the total momentum is the sum of them all

P=m_1v_1+m_2v_2+...+m_nv_n

If a collision occurs, the velocities change to v' and the final momentum is:

P'=m_1v'_1+m_2v'_2+...+m_nv'_n

In a system of two masses, the law of conservation of linear momentum is:

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=m_1v'_1+m_2v'_2

According to the conditions of the problem, two persons standing on a frictionless surface are initially at rest (v1=0, v2=0). Their masses are m1=50 Kg and m2=65 Kg. After the push, one person (say m1) moves backward at v1'=-1.1 m/s. We can calculate the speed of the other person by solving for v2':

$\displaystyle v'_2=\frac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2-m_1v'_1}{m_2)$

Substituting:

$\displaystyle v'_2=\frac{50*0+65*0-50(-1.1)}{65)$

$\displaystyle v'_2=\frac{55}{65}$

$v'_2=0.85 \ m/s$

The second person will have a velocity of 0.85 m/s in the opposite direction of the first person.

Acetic acid /əˈsiːtɪk/, systematically named ethanoic acid /ˌɛθəˈnoʊɪk/, is a colourless liquid organic compound with the chemical formula ch3cooh (also written as ch3co2h or c2h4o2). when undiluted, it is sometimes called glacial acetic acid. vinegar is no less than 4% acetic acid by volume, making acetic acid the main component of vinegar apart from water. acetic acid has a distinctive sour taste and pungent smell. in addition to household vinegar, it is mainly produced as a precursor to polyvinyl acetate and cellulose acetate. it is classified as a weak acid since it only partially dissociates in solution, but concentrated acetic acid is corrosive and can attack the skin.acetic acidnamespreferred iupac nameacetic acidsystematic iupac nameethanoic acidother namesvinegar (when dilute); hydrogen acetate; methanecarboxylic acid[1][2]identifierscas number64-19-7 3d model (jsmol)interactive image3dmetb00009 reference506007chebichebi: 15366 chemblchembl539 chemspider171 drugbankdb03166 echa infocard100.000.528ec number200-580-7e numbere260 (preservatives)gmelin reference1380iuphar/bps1058keggd00010 meshacetic+acidpubchem cid176rtecs numberaf1225000uniiq40q9n063p un number2789inchiinchi=1s/c2h4o2/c1-2(3)4/h1h3,(h,3,4) key: qtbsbxvteameqo-uhfffaoysa-n smilescc(o)=o

Acave rescue team lifts an injured spelunker directly upward and out of a sinkhole by means of a motor-driven cable. the lift is performed in three stages, each requiring a vertical distance of 11.0 m: (a) the initially stationary spelunker is accelerated to a speed of 4.80 m/s; (b) he is then lifted at the constant speed of 4.80 m/s; (c) finally he is decelerated to zero speed. how much work is done on the 78.0 kg rescue by the force lifting him during each stage
