If a boy (m = 50kg) at rest on skates is pushed by another boy who exerts a force of 200 N on him and if the first boy's final velocity is 8 m/s, what was the contact time? t= s

t = 2 seconds

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of a boy, m = 50 kg

Initial speed of boy, u = 0

Final speed of boy, v = 8 m/s

Force exerting by another boy, F = 200 N

Let t is the time of contact. The force acting on an object is given by :

F = ma

a is acceleration

So,

So, the contact time is 2 seconds.

answer is: naturally occurring solid, inorganic compound or element is mineral.

minerals usually have crystalline form, that means than crystal constituents (atoms, molecules or ions) are arranged in a highly ordered microscopic structure, forming a crystal lattice that extends in all directions.

for example magnetite is a mineral of iron oxide (fe₂o₃).

calcite is a carbonate mineral and the most stable polymorph of calcium carbonate (caco₃).

dolomite is an   carbonate mineral composed of calcium magnesium carbonate (camg(co₃)₂).
