Why is it possible to throw a 0.145 kg baseball much further than a 7 kg bowling ball?

1 answer:

7 0

It is possible to throw a 0.145 kg baseball much further than a 7 kg bowling ball, because the 0.145 kg baseball is of a smaller mass than the 7 kg bowling ball and it also offers less resistance to motion and hence it would go further than the 7 kg bowling ball.

19. A 0.0340 kg bullet traveling at 120 m/s embeds itself in a 1.24 kg wooden block which

Blababa [14]

Answer: x ≈ 36.3 cm

Explanation:

Conservation of momentum during the collision

0.0340(120) + 1.24(0) = (0.0340 + 1.24) v

v = 3.2025 m/s

The kinetic energy of the block/bullet mass will convert to spring potential

½kx² = ½mv²

x = √(mv²/k)

x = √(1.274(3.2025²) / 99.0)

x = 0.363293... ≈ 36.3 cm

Friction provides the force needed for a car to travel around a flat, circular race track. What is the maximum speed at which a

ad-work [718]

Answer:

Maximum speed of the car is 17.37 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius of the circular track, r = 79 m

The coefficient of friction, $\mu=0.39$

To find,

The maximum speed of car.

Solution,

Let v is the maximum speed of the car at which it can safely travel. It can be calculated by balancing the centripetal force and the gravitational force acting on it as :

$v=\sqrt{\mu rg}$
