Accuracy and power are the only things that matter in dodge ball. If you are not accurate, then your target does not get hit.
Answer:
b
Explanation:
Given:
- The ball is fired at a upward initial speed v_yi = 2*v
- The ball in first experiment was fired at upward initial speed v_yi = v
- The ball in first experiment was as at position behind cart = x_1
Find:
How far behind the cart will the ball land, compared to the distance in the original experiment?
Solution:
- Assuming the ball fired follows a projectile path. We will calculate the time it takes for the ball to reach maximum height y. Using first equation of motion:
v_yf = v_yi + a*t
Where, a = -9.81 m/s^2 acceleration due to gravity
v_y,f = 0 m/s max height for both cases:
For experiment 1 case:
0 = v - 9.81*t_1
t_1 = v / 9.81
For experiment 2 case:
0 = 2*v - 9.81*t_2
t_2 = 2*v / 9.81
The total time for the journey is twice that of t for both cases:
For experiment 1 case:
T_1 = 2*t_1
T_1 = 2*v / 9.81
For experiment 2 case:
T_2 = 2*t_2
T_2 = 4*v / 9.81
- Now use 2nd equation of motion in horizontal direction for both cases:
x = v_xi*T
For experiment 1 case:
x_1 = v_x1*T_1
x_1 = v_x1*2*v / 9.81
For experiment 2 case:
x_2 = v_x2*T_2
x_2 = v_x2*4*v / 9.81
- Now the x component of the velocity for each case depends on the horizontal speed of the cart just before launching the ball. Using conservation of momentum we see that both v_x2 = v_x1 after launch. Since the masses of both ball and cart remains the same.
- Hence; take ratio of two distances x_1 and x_2:
x_2 / x_2 = v_x2*4*v / 9.81 * 9.81 / v_x1*2*v
Simplify:
x_1 / x_2 = 2
- Hence, the amount of distance traveled behind the cart in experiment 2 would be twice that of that in experiment 1.
The difference is two laws of motion.
Answer:
D. momentum
Explanation:
Momentum is the product of velocity and mass which is the two variables the paragraph talked about.
