A completely inelastic collision occurs between two balls of wet putty that move directly toward each other along a vertical axi

s. Just before the collision, one ball, of mass 3.0 kg, is moving upward at 20 m/s and the other ball, of mass 2.0 kg, is moving downward at 12 m/s. How high do the combined two balls of putty rise above the collision point?

Answer:

h = 2.64 meters      

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of one ball, m_1=3\ kg

Speed of the first ball, v_1=20\ m/s (upward)

Mass of the other ball, m_2=2\ kg

Speed of the other ball, v_2=-12\ m/s (downward)

We know that in an inelastic collision, after the collision, both objects move with one common speed. Let it is given by V. Using the conservation of momentum to find it as :

V=\dfrac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2}{m_1+m_2}

V=\dfrac{3\times 20+2\times (-12)}{3+2}

V = 7.2 m/s

Let h is the height reached by the combined balls of putty rise above the collision point. Using the conservation of energy as :

mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mV^2

h=\dfrac{V^2}{2g}

h=\dfrac{7.2^2}{2\times 9.8}

h = 2.64 meters

So, the height reached by the combined mass is 2.64 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

Kyle, a 95.0 kg football player, leaps straight up into the air (with no horizontal velocity) to catch a pass. He catches the 0.
babymother [125]

Answer:

The initial speed of the ball was 26.2 m/s

Explanation:

When the football player is in the air at his maximum height the vertical component of velocity is zero, To obtain the horizontal velocity when the player catches the ball we need to apply the linear momentum conservation theorem:

m_1*v_{o1}+m_2*v_{o2}=m_t*v_f\\0.430kg*(v)+m_2*(0)=mt*vt

we need to obtain the time taken to go down.

y=Y_o+v_o*t-\frac{1}{2}g*t^2\\\\0=0.589-4.9t^2\\solving:\\t_1=0.346s\\

We have a horizontal displacement and the time taken to stop, so:

v_f=\frac{d}{t}=\frac{0.0409m}{0.346s}=0.118m/s

so:

0.430kg*(v)+m_2*(0)=(m1+m2)*vt\\v=\frac{(95.0kg+0.430kg)*0.118m/s}{0.430kg}\\\\v=26.2m/s

A 75.0 kg person is on a Ferris Wheel that has a radius R = 16 m. The tangential velocity of the Ferris Wheel is 8.25 m/s. Calcu
Dovator [93]

Answer:

The period of rotation is

T=8.025s

Explanation:

The person is undergoing simple harmonic motion on the wheel

Given data

mass of the person =75kg

Radius of wheel r=16m

Velocity =8.25m/s

The oscillating period of simple harmonic motion is given as

T=(2*pi)/2=2*pi √r/g

Assuming that g=9.81m/s

Substituting our data into the expression we have

T=2*3.142 √ 16/9.81

T=6.284*1.277

T=8.025s
