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 wheel rotates about a fixed axis with an initial angular velocity of 13 rad/s. During a 8-s interval the angular velocity incr
____ [38]

Answer:

The number of revolutions is 44.6.

Explanation:

We can find the revolutions of the wheel with the following equation:

\theta = \omega_{0}t + \frac{1}{2}\alpha t^{2}

Where:

\omega_{0}: is the initial angular velocity = 13 rad/s              

t: is the time = 8 s

α: is the angular acceleration

We can find the angular acceleration with the initial and final angular velocities:

\omega_{f} = \omega_{0} + \alpha t

Where:

\omega_{f}: is the final angular velocity = 57 rad/s

\alpha = \frac{\omega_{f} - \omega_{0}}{t} = \frac{57 rad/s - 13 rad/s}{8 s} = 5.5 rad/s^{2}

Hence, the number of revolutions is:

\theta = \omega_{0}t + \frac{1}{2}\alpha t^{2} = 13 rad/s*8 s + \frac{1}{2}*5.5 rad/s^{2}*(8 s)^{2} = 280 rad*\frac{1 rev}{2\pi rad} = 44.6 rev

Therefore, the number of revolutions is 44.6.

       

I hope it helps you!

A wire loop with 70 turns is formed into a square with sides of length ???? . The loop is in the presence of a 1.20 T uniform ma
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

l= 3.002 cm

Explanation:

Given that

n= 70 turns

B= 1.2 T

θ= 15°

I= 1.5 A

τ = 0.0294 N⋅m

Lets take length of sides is l.

We know that

τ  = n I A B sin θ

Area of square ,A= l²

Now by putting the value

τ  = n I A B sin θ

0.0294  = 70 x  1.5 x  l² x  1.2 x  sin 15°

l² = 0.000901 m²

l² = 9.01 cm²

l= 3.002 cm

A 50.0 kg student climbs 5.00m up a rope at a constant speed. If the student's power output is 200.0 W, how long does it take th
hammer [34]

Answer:

The time taken by the student to climb is 12.25 seconds and work done is 2450 J.            

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the student, m = 50 kg

The student climbs to a height of 5 meters at a constant speed.

The student's power output is 200.0 W, P = 200 W

The power of an object is given by work done divided by time taken. So,

P=\dfrac{W}{t}

(b) W is work done,

W=mgh\\\\W=50\times 9.8\times 5\\\\W=2450\ J

(b)

t=\dfrac{W}{P}\\\\t=\dfrac{2450}{200}\\\\t=12.25\ s

So, the time taken by the student to climb is 12.25 seconds and work done is 2450 J.

"Two rooms are connected by a doorway. You are in one room and your friend is in the other room. Explain why you can hear your f
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

You can  hear your friend because of diffraction of sound waves.

Explanation:

Through diffraction of sound waves, the sound waves can bend around the door spaces and spread out through any small opening on the door to reach you in the other room yet the other person is not in a direct line with you.The wavelength of sound waves in this case are longer enough to bend around the obstacle(door and the indirect path) and spread out to reach your room for you to hear your friend without directly being in line with the door for you to see them.
