I drop a meter stick , and catch it as it falls. If it fell exactly 22 cm, how much did it take me to catch the meter stick (wha

t was my reaction time)?

D=Vot+1/2at^2

In this case, there is no initial y velocity so the term Vot=0 so d=1/2at^2

acceleration=acceleration due to gravity=-9.8m/s^2

It falls - 22cm or -0.22m

We have - 0.22=1/2(-9.8)t^2

t^2=(-0.44)/(-9.8)

t=sqrt[0.44/9.8]

A bug flying horizontally at 0.65 m/s collides and sticks to the end of a uniform stick hanging vertically. After the impact, th

The angular momentum is defined as,

$L=I\omega$

Acording to this text we know for conservation of angular momentum that

$L_i=L_f$

Where $L_i$ is initial momentum

$L_f$ is the final momentum

How there is a difference between the stick mass and the bug mass, we define that

Mass of the bug= m

Mass of the stick=10m

At the point 0 we have that,

$L_i=mvl$

Where l is the lenght of the stick which is also the perpendicular distance of the bug's velocity

vector from the point of reference (O), and ve is the velocity

At the end with the collition we have

$L_f=(I_b+I_s)\omega$

Substituting

$L_f=(ml^2+\frac{10ml^2}{3})\omega$

$L_f=\frac{13}{10}ml^2w$

$m(0.65)l=\frac{13}{10}ml^2 \omega$

$\omega=\frac{1}{2l}$

Applying conservative energy equation we have

$\frac{1}{2}(I_b+I_s)\omega^2=mgh+10mgh'$

$\frac{1}{2}(ml^2+\frac{10ml^2}{3})(\frac{1}{2l})^2=mg(l-lcos\theta)+\frac{10}{2}mg(l-lcos\theta)$

Replacing the values and solving

$l=\frac{13}{0.54g}$

Substituting

l=\frac{13}{0.54(9.8)}

$l=2.45cm$

When serving a tennis ball, a player hits the ball when its velocity is zero (at the highest point of a vertical toss). The racq

Lilit [14]

Answer:60 gm

Explanation:

Given

initial velocity of ball $u=0$

Force exerted by racquet $F=540 N$

time period of force $t=5\ ms$

final velocity of ball $v=45\ m/s$

Racquet imparts an impulse to the ball which is given by

$J=F\Delta t=\Delta P$

$J=540\times \Delta t=m(45-0)$

$m=\frac{540\times 5\times 10^{-3}}{45}$

$m=60\ gm$

A skateboarder is accelerating forward. How would his acceleration change if he had more mass?

exis [7]

Answer:

If the force remains the same, the acceleration would decrease

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law, the acceleration of an object is given by

$a=\frac{F}{m}$

where

F is the force applied to the object

m is the mass of the object

As we see from the formula, the acceleration a is inversely proportional to the mass, m. Therefore, if the force F remains constant, this means that if the mass of the skateboarder increases, then the acceleration will decrease.
