A basketball is rolling with a velocity of 0.5 meters/second relative to the ground and due north. A tennis ball is rolling with
Lisa [10]
Since the basketball and the tennis ball both travel to the same direction relative to the ground, the velocity of the basketball relative to the tennis ball is therefore the difference of their velocities.
                                     0.5 m/s - 0.25 m/s = 0.25 m/s
Thus, the basketball travel for 0.25 m/s relative to the tennis ball.

A block of wood 3.0 cm on each side has a mass of 27g. what is the density of this block?
schepotkina [342]
The block of wood is 3cm on each side so it is a cube. The volume of a cube is given by s^3. So the volume of this block is 3cm x 3cm x3 cm = 27 cm^3. density = mass/volume =27 g / 27 cm^3 = 1 g/cm^3

A billiard ball strikes and rebounds from the cushion of a pool table perpendicularly. The mass of the ball is 0.38 kg The ball
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

Force is 432.94 N along the rebound direction of ball.

Explanation:

Force is rate of change of momentum.

\texttt{Force}=\frac{\texttt{Final momentum-Initial momentum}}{\texttt{Time}}

Final momentum = 0.38 x -1.70 = -0.646 kgm/s

Initial momentum = 0.38 x 2.20 = 0.836 kgm/s

Change in momentum = -0.646 - 0.836 = -1.472 kgm/s

Time = 3.40 x 10⁻³ s

\texttt{Force}=\frac{\texttt{Final momentum-Initial momentum}}{\texttt{Time}}=\frac{-1.472}{3.40\times 10^{-3}}\\\\\texttt{Force}=-432.94N

Force is 432.94 N along the rebound direction of ball.

Black_prince [1.1K]
First off, you need to know the weight of the projectile, lift and drag coefficients something like a high Reynolds number is preferred, then use the gravitational constant of 9.8 meters per second squared those would be a good start to get closer to your goal
