A 65kg person throws a 0.045kg snowball forward with a ground speed of 30m/s. A second person, with a mass of 60kg, catches the

snowball. Both people are on skates. The first person is initially moving forward with a speed of 2.5 m/s, and the second person is initially at rest. What are the velocities of the two people after the snowball is exchanged? Disregard friction between the skates and the ice.

Answer:

v₁ = 2.48m/s, v₂ = 0.02m/s

Explanation:

Momentum p must be conserved. p = mv

1) First person throwing the snow ball. The momentum before the throw:

p = (65kg + 0.045kg) * 2.5 m/s

The momentum after the throw:

p = 65kg * v₁ + 0.045kg * 30m/s

Solving for the velocity v₁ of person 1:

v₁ = ((65kg + 0.045kg) * 2.5 m/s - 0.045kg * 30m/s) / 65kg = 2.48m/s

2) Second person catching the ball. The momentum before the catch:

p = 0.045kg * 30m/s + 60kg * 0m/s

The momentum after the catch:

p = (60kg + 0.045kg) * v₂

Solving for velocity v₂ of person 2:

v₂ = 0.045kg * 30m/s / (60kg + 0.045kg) = 0.02 m/s

From a window that is 20 m from the ground a stone with a speed of 10m / s is thrown vertically upwards. Calculate:
Oduvanchick [21]

a)

consider the motion in upward direction as positive and down direction as negative

Y₀ = initial position of the stone = 20 m

v₀ = initial velocity of the stone = 10 m/s

a = acceleration = - 9.8 m/s²

Y = final position of the stone when it reach the maximum height

v = final velocity at the maximum height = 0 m/s

t = time taken to reach the maximum height

Using the equation

v² = v₀² + 2 a (Y - Y₀)

0² = 10² + 2 (- 9.8) (Y - 20)

Y = 25.1 m


also using the equation

v = v₀ + a t

inserting the values

0 = 10 + (- 9.8) t

t = 1.02 sec


b)

consider the motion in upward direction as positive and down direction as negative

Y₀ = initial position of the stone = 20 m

v₀ = initial velocity of the stone = 10 m/s

a = acceleration = - 9.8 m/s²

Y = final position of the stone when it reach the ground = 0 m

t = time taken to reach the ground

Using the equation

Y = Y₀ + v₀ t + (0.5) a t²

0 = 20 + 10 t + (0.5) (- 9.8) t²

t = 3.3 sec

Consider a short time span just before and after the spark plug in a gasoline engine ignites the fuel-air mixture and releases 1
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

Temperature after ignition=7883.205 K

Explanation:

The number of moles is,

n=PV/RT

=(1.18x10^6)(47.9x10^-6)/8.314(325)

= 0.0209 moles

a) In this process volume is constant

Q=U

=nCv.dT

dT= Q/nCv

=1970/(1.5x8.314)(0.0209)

= 7558.205 K

The final temperature is,

= 7558.205+325

= 7883.205 K
