A father racing his son has 1/2 the kinetic energy of the son, who has 1/3 the mass of the father. The father speeds up by 1.4 m
BaLLatris [955]

Answer: a) 0.78 m/s b) 1.57 m/s

Explanation:

M = father's mass


m = son's mass = M/3


V = father's initial speed


v = son's initial speed

(1/2)MV^2 = (1/2)*(1/2)*m v^2


M*V^2 = (1/2)(M/3)v^2


V^2/v^2 = 1/4


V = v/2

Second equation:


(1/2)M*(V + 1.4)^2 = (1/2)m*v^2


= (1/2)*(M/3)*(3V)^2


cancel out the M's and (1/2)'s


(V + 1.4)^2 = 3V^2


V^2 + 2.8V + 1.96 = 3V^2


V^2 -1.4V -0.98 = 0

V^2 = 0.98/0.4 = 2.45

V = 1.57

In the aerials competition in skiing, the competitors speed down a ramp that slopes sharply upward at the end. The sharp upward
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

u = 11.6 m/s

Explanation:

The end of a launch ramp is directed 63° above the horizontal. A skier attains a height of 10.9 m above the end of the ramp.

Maximum height, H = 10.9

Let v is the launch speed of the skier. The maximum height attained by the projectile is given by :

H=\dfrac{u^2\ sin^2\theta}{g}

10.9=\dfrac{u^2\ sin^2(63)}{9.8}

u = 11.6 m/s

So, the launch speed of the skier is 11.6 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

Homer Agin leads the Varsity team in home runs. In a recent game, Homer hit a 34.5 m/s sinking curve ball head on, sending it of
Aneli [31]

Answer:

–77867 m/s/s.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial velocity (u) = 34.5 m/s

Final velocity (v) = –23.9 m/s

Time (t) = 0.00075 s

Acceleration (a) =?

Acceleration is simply defined as the rate of change of velocity with time. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

Acceleration = (final velocity – Initial velocity) /time

a = (v – u) / t

With the above formula, we can obtain acceleration of the ball as follow:

Initial velocity (u) = 34.5 m/s

Final velocity (v) = –23.9 m/s

Time (t) = 0.00075 s

Acceleration (a) =?

a = (v – u) / t

a = (–23.9 – 34.5) / 0.00075

a = –58.4 / 0.00075

a = –77867 m/s/s

Thus, the acceleration of the ball is –77867 m/s/s.
