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.

A rubber ball and a steel ball are dropped from the same height onto a concrete floor. They have the same mass, and lets assume
Mkey [24]

Answer:

The average forces would be the same

Explanation:

Both have the same velocity on impact as they fell from the same height.

Both have the same velocity after the bounce because they reach the same height.

Both have the same mass

Both will thus experience the same impulse because both have the same change in momentum.

Therefore both experience the same average force.

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. complete the sentence to describe the distance and ruler postulates. between
Tresset [83]

This question is an illustration of the distance postulate.

<h3>What is distance postulate ?</h3>

The distance between any two different points equates to a single positive real integer, according to the postulate of distance.

The full text is: The distance is a positive unique integer between every pair of different locations.

Consider two separate points A and B as an example.

The distance between A and B is the integer that represents the size of A and B.

The positive number (i.e. the distance) between A and B would be:

d= B-A

d = 6 - 1

d = 1

a distant galaxy is studied with a radio telescope x ray telescope and optical light telescope. the images form which set of mus
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

The modern instruments or we can say the different levels of telescopes are used to explore and study the distant galaxies. i.e the Hubble telescope is out there providing the data regarding the different properties of the celestial entities which in other case is not visible to the human naked eye.

Explanation:

  • Scientists and research workers are in constant search for more answers as they explore the universe and implement the laws of physics on the celestial entities. But, most of the objects inside the universe are not visible to human naked eye, as they are far from sight and thus more advanced form of instruments like the x-ray, optical, and light telescopes are used to determine the different properties of the celestial entities inside the universe.
  • As, these telescopes includes the most recent "Hubble telescope", which is out there inside the space to explore the universe and more over the galaxies by subjecting them with x-rays and then provide us with a very rough but valid results to study the distant galaxies.

A machine gun fires 50-g bullets at the rate of 4 bullets per second. The bullets leave the gun at a speed of 1000 m/s. What is
TEA [102]

Answer:

Average recoil force experienced by machine will be 200 N

Explanation:

We have give mass of each bullet m = 50 gram = 0.05 kg

There are 4 bullets

So mass of 4 bullets = 4×0.05 = 0.2 kg

Initial speed of the bullet u = 0 m/sec

And final speed of the bullet v = 1000 m/sec

So change in momentum P=m(v-u)=0.2\times (1000-0)=200kgm/sec

Time is given per second so t = 1 sec

We know that force is equal to rate of change of momentum

So force will be equal to F=\frac{200}{1}=200N

So average recoil force experienced by machine will be 200 N
