What is the mass of a bicycle that has 90 kg.m/s of momentum at a speed of 6 m/s?

OLEGan [10]

Answer:

m = 15 kg

Explanation:

p = m × v

90 = m × 6

6m = 90

m = 90/6

During a medieval siege of a castle, the attacking army uses a trebuchet to heavy stones at the castle the trebuchet launches th

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

Explanation:

The question relates to time of flight of a projectile .

Time of flight = 2 u sinθ / g

u is speed of projectile , θ is angle of projectile

= 2 x 48.5 sin42 / 9.8

= 6.6 seconds .

Maximum height attained

= u² sin²θ / g

= 48.5² sin²42 / 9.8

= 107.47 m .

In a mail-sorting facility, a 2.50-kg package slides down an inclined plane that makes an angle of 20.0° with the horizontal. Th

lawyer [7]

Answer:

The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.382.

Explanation:

Given:

Angle of inclination is, $\theta=20.0$ °

Mass of package is, $m=2.50\ kg$

Initial speed of package is, $u=2.00\ m/s$

Final speed of the package at the bottom is, $v=0\ m/s$

Distance of travel along the incline is, $d=12.0\ m$

Acceleration due to gravity is, $g=9.8\ m/s^2$

Let the coefficient of kinetic friction be $\mu$ .

Now, the frictional force will be acting along the incline but in the direction opposite to the direction of motion.

So, the net acceleration acting on the package will be up the incline and is equal to:

$a=\mu g\cos\theta-g\sin\theta$ ----------------- 1

Now, using equation of motion, we have:

$v^2-u^2=2ad\\\\0-(2.00)^2=2a(12.0)$

Solving for 'a', we get:

$-4.00=24.0a\\\\a=-\frac{4}{24}=-\frac{1}{6}\ m/s^2$

Now, plug in the value of 'a' in equation (1). This gives,

$\mu g\cos\theta-g\sin\theta=\frac{1}{6}$ ( Neglecting negative sign)

Plug in all the given values and solve for $\mu$ . This gives,

$9.8(-sin(20)+\mu cos(20))=\frac{1}{6}\\\\-0.342+\mu\times 0.94=0.017\\\\0.94\mu=0.342+0.017\\\\0.94\mu=0.359\\\\\mu=\frac{0.359}{0.94}=0.382$

Therefore, the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.382.

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]

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

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
