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

velocity of the ball and the man?

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 coconuts fall freely from rest at the same time, one from a tree twice as high as the other. If the coconut from the shorter
valentinak56 [21]

Wee can use here kinematics

as we know that

y = v*t + \frac{1}{2} at^2

for shorter tree we know that

y = 0 + \frac{1}{2}*9.8 * 2^2

y = 19.6 meter

now since we know that other tree is twice high

So height of other tree is y = 39.2 m

now again by above equation

y = v*t + \frac{1}{2} at^2

39.2 = 0 + \frac{1}{2}*9.8 * t^2

t = 2.83 s

so the time taken is 2.83 s

Which of the following is one way that an electric motor's rotation speed can be controlled?
malfutka [58]
Depending on which type of motor you're talking about, but the first 3 are true.  A stronger magnetic field in a DC motor will slow it down but increase its torque.
The amount of current in the motor will control the magnetic fields and therefore affect the speed (and torque).  In an induction motor, the rotational speed is given by n= \frac{120f}{p}  where f is the line frequency and p is the number of poles.  Thus fewer poles makes it go faster.
