Pepsi [2]4 years ago

Explanation:

Let's say your mass is M, the ball's mass is m, and the ball's speed is v.  Let's say your final speed is V.

Momentum is conserved.  If you catch the ball, your speed is:

mv = (m + M)V

V = mv / (m + M)

If you deflect the ball, your speed is:

mv = MV + m(-v)

V = 2mv / M

To compare these, we need the common denominator.

If you catch the ball:

V = mMv / (M (m + M))

If you throw the ball:

V = 2m(m + M)v / (M (m + M))

Comparing the numerators, we can see M < 2(m + M), so catching the ball results in a lower speed.

Calculate the energy equivalent in joules of the mass of a proton
Tamiku [17]
The problem should only have one part to it, but this one has two.
Before I can do the mass/energy conversion, I have to go and
look up the proton mass for myself ... go out and collect the straw
to make my bricks, as it were.  As if the fabulous bounty of 7 points
makes it worth it.  They make us do everything around here.

OK.  In my Physics book⁽¹⁾, the proton rest mass is

                       1.67 x 10⁻²⁷  kg.

The formula that relates mass to the equivalent energy is

                        E = m c²  .

The method of applying the formula is known as "plug in what you know",
as follows:

                       E  =  (mass) x (speed of light)²

                          =  (1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ kg) x (3 x 10⁸ m/s)²

                         =  (1.67 X 10⁻²⁷ Kg) x (9 x 10¹⁶ m²/s²) 

                          =        (1.5 x 10⁻¹⁰)  (kg-m²/s²)

                          =            1.5 x 10⁻¹⁰  joule .

A bullet of mass 20g is horizontally fired with a velocity of 150m/s from a pistol of mass 2 kg. What is the
kiruha [24]

Answer:

m1 = 20g (= 0.02 kg)

Mass of pistol, m2 = 2 kg

Initial velocity of the bullet (u1) and pistol (u2) = 0

Final velocity of the bullet, v1 = +150m s-1

Let v be the recoil velocity of the pistol.

Total momentum of the pistol and bullet after it is fired is

= (0.02 kg x 150 m s-1) + (2 kg x v m s-1)

= (3 + 2v) kg m s-1

Total momentum after the fire = Total momentum before the fire

3 + 2v = 0

→v = -1.5 m/s
