In an inelastic collision a 2.5 kg ball moving at 7.5 m/s is caught by a 70kg man while the man is standing on ice. What is the

MrRa [10]

The velocity of the ball and the man is 0.259 m/s

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of momentum. In fact, in an isolated system, the total momentum before and after the collision must be conserved. Therefore, for the ball-man system, we can write:

$p_i = p_f\\m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 = (m_1+m_2)v$

where:

$m_1 = 2.5 kg$ is the mass of the ball

$u_1 = 7.5 m/s$ is the initial velocity of the ball

$m_2 = 70 kg$ is the mass of the man

$u_2 = 0$ is the initial velocity of the man

$v$ is the final velocity of the man and the ball after the collision

Re-arranging the equation and substituting the values, we find the final velocity:

$v=\frac{m_1 u_1}{m_1+m_2}=\frac{(2.5)(7.5)}{2.5+70}=0.259 m/s$

So, the man and the ball slides on the ice at 0.259 m/s.

Two cars collide and come to a complete stop. where did all of their energy go?

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Most of the energy will be absorbed by the materials that make up the cars, causing them to deform. The energy will also be converted into sound energy, causing a loud bang upon collision. Also, some energy will be converted to thermal energy, which will cause the cars to heat up slightly.

Why might a balloon, that is inflated almost to its capacity, pop or explode on an extremely warm day?

REY [17]

On an extremely warm day, the balloon might pop because gases expand the hotter they get, and due to its temperature it is likely to pop if it is, indeed, nearly, if not completely, filled to its capacity. I hope this helps, have a nice day!

When making maps of the large-scale universe, astronomers estimate distances to the vast majority of galaxies by using:

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

<em>The comoving distance and the proper distance scale</em>

Explanation:

The comoving distance scale removes the effects of the expansion of the universe, which leaves us with a distance that does not change in time due to the expansion of space (since space is constantly expanding). The comoving distance and proper distance are defined to be equal at the present time; therefore, the ratio of proper distance to comoving distance now is 1. The scale factor is sometimes not equal to 1. The distance between masses in the universe may change due to other, local factors like the motion of a galaxy within a cluster. Finally, we note that the expansion of the Universe results in the proper distance changing, but the comoving distance is unchanged by an expanding universe.
