A 0.060-kg ice hockey puck comes toward a player with a high speed. The player hits it directly back softly with an average forc
kramer

Answer:u=-22 m/s

Explanation:

Given

mass of puck m=0.06\ kg

Average force f_{avg}=1.5\times 10^3\ N

time of contact t=1.2ms=1.2\times 10^{-3}\ s

puck leaves with a velocity of v=8\ m/s

We know impulse is F_{avg}\Delta t=\text{change in momentum}

therefore

1.5\times 10^3\times (1.2\times 10^{-3})=P_f-P_i

P_i=0.06\times 8-1.8

P_i=0.48-1.8=-1.32\ kg-m/s

Final momentum P_f=m\times v_f

P_f=0.06\times 8

P_f=0.48\ kg-m/s

Impulse on the ball =F_{avg}\Delta t

Impulse=1.5\times 10^3\times 1.2\times 10^{-3}=1.8\ N-s

Initial velocity is given by

u=\frac{P_i}{m}=\frac{-1.32}{0.06}

u=-22\ m/s

i.e. initially ball is moving towards -x-axis

A 0.01-kg object is initially sliding at 9.0 m/s. It goes up a ramp (increasing its elevation by 1.5 m), and then moves horizont
barxatty [35]

Answer:

During this motion, 0.133 J of heat energy was created

Explanation:

Hi there!

Let´s calculate the energy of the object in each phase of the motion.

At first, the object has only kinetic energy (KE):

KE = 1/2 · m · v²

Where:

m = mass of the object.

v = velocity.

KE = 1/2 · 0.01 kg · (9 m/s)²

KE = 0.405 J

When the object goes up the ramp, it gains some gravitational potential energy (PE). Due to the conservation of energy, the object must convert some of its kinetic energy to obtain potential energy. By calculating the potential energy that the object acquires, we can know the loss of kinetic energy:

PE = m · g · h

Where:

m = mass of the object.

g = acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s²)

h = height.

PE = 0.01 kg · 9.81 m/s² · 1.5 m

PE = 0.147 J

The object "gives up" 0.147 J of kinetic energy to be converted into potential energy.

Then, after going up the ramp, the kinetic energy of the object will be:

0.405 J - 0.147 J = 0.258 J

When the object reaches the spring, kinetic energy is used to compress the spring and the object obtains elastic potential energy (EPE). Let´s calculate the EPE obtained by the object:

EPE = 1/2 · k · x²

Where:

k = spring constant.

x = compression of the spring

EPE = 1/2 · 100 N/m · (0.05 m)² = 0.125 J

Then, only 0.125 J of kinetic energy was converted into elastic potential energy. The object is at rest at the end of the motion, i.e., the object does not have kinetic energy when it compresses the spring by 5.0 cm. Since energy can´t be lost, the rest of the kinetic energy, that was not used to compress the spring, had to be converted into heat energy:

Heat energy = initial kinetic energy - obtained elastic potential energy

Heat energy = 0.258 J - 0.125 J = 0.133 J

During this motion, 0.133 J of heat energy was created.
