a 0.15 kg baseball has a momentum of 0.78 kg*m/s just before it lands on the ground. What was the ball's speed just before landi

vovangra [49]

5.2m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of baseball = 0.15kg

Momentum of baseball = 0.78kgm/s

Unknown:

Speed of baseball = ?

Solution:

The momentum of the baseball is a function of the product of the mass and velocity. It is a vector quantity:

Momentum = mass x velocity

Since the speed of the ball is unknown:

Velocity = $\frac{momentum }{mass}$

= $\frac{0.78}{0.15}$

= 5.2m/s

The speed of the baseball before it lands is 5.2m/s

slab of ice floats on water with a large portion submerged beneath the water surface. The slab is in the shape of a rectangular

n200080 [17]

Answer:

a) $\%V = 87.36\,\%$ , b) $x = 1.248\,m$ , c) $F_{B} = 176488.341\,N$ , d) Six polar bears.

Explanation:

a) The slab of ice is modelled by the Archimedes' Principles and the Newton's Laws, whose equation of equilibrium is:

$\Sigma F =\rho_{w}\cdot g \cdot A \cdot x-\rho_{i}\cdot g\cdot V = 0$

The height of the ice submerged is:

$\rho_{w}\cdot A \cdot x = \rho_{i}\cdot V$

$x = \frac{\rho_{i}\cdot V}{\rho_{w}\cdot A}$

$x = \frac{\left(900\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}\right)\cdot (20\,m^{3})}{\left(1030\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} \right)\cdot (14\,m^{2})}$

$x = 1.248\,m$

The percentage of the volume of the ice that is submerged is:

$\%V = \frac{(1.248\,m)\cdot (14\,m^{2})}{20\,m^{3}} \times 100\,\%$

$\%V = 87.36\,\%$

b) The height of the portion of the ice that is submerged is:

$x = 1.248\,m$

c) The buoyant force acting on the ice is:

$F_{B} = \left(1030\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} \right)\cdot (1.248\,m)\cdot (14\,m^{2})\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)$

$F_{B} = 176488.341\,N$

d) The new system is modelled after the Archimedes' Principle and Newton's Laws:

$\Sigma F = -n\cdot m_{bear}\cdot g-\rho_{i}\cdot V \cdot g + \rho_{w}\cdot V\cdot g = 0$

The number of polar bear is cleared in the equation:

$n\cdot m_{bear} = (\rho_{w} - \rho_{i})\cdot V$

$n = \frac{(\rho_{w}-\rho_{i})\cdot V}{m_{bear}}$

$n = \frac{\left(1030\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} - 900\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} \right)\cdot (20\,m^{3})}{400\,kg}$

$n = 6.5$

The maximum number of polar bears that slab could support is 6.
