A person slaps her leg with her hand, which results in her hand coming to rest in a time interval of 2.75 ms from an initial spe

ed of 2.25 m/s . What is the magnitude of the average contact force exerted on the leg, assuming the total mass of the hand and the forearm to be 1.65 kg ?

Answer:

1350N

Explanation:

2.75 ms = 2.75*10^{-3}s

The force exerted on the hand would be the momentum divided by the duration of contact.

As the hand is coming to rest, final velocity would be 0

F = \frac{\Delta P}{\Delta t} = \frac{m(0 - v)}{\Delta t} = \frac{1.65*(2.25 - 0)}{2.75 * 10^{-3}} = -1350 N

The magnitude of the force would be 1350N

A girl of mass 55 kg throws a ball of mass 0.80 kg against a wall. The ball strikes the wall horizontally with a speed of 25 m/s
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

Magnitude of the average force exerted on the wall by the ball is 800N

Explanation:

Given

Contact Time = t = 0.05 seconds

Mass (of ball) = 0.80kg

Initial Velocity = u = 25m/s

Final Velocity = 25m/s

Magnitude of the average force exerted on the wall by the ball is given by;

F = ma

Where m = 0.8kg

a = Average Acceleration

a = (u + v)/t

a = (25 + 25)/0.05

a = 50/0.05

a = 1000m/s²

Average Force = Mass * Average Acceleration

Average Force = 0.8kg * 1000m/s²

Average Force = 800kgm/s²

Average Force = 800N

Hence, the magnitude of the average force exerted on the wall by the ball is 800N

A skateboarder is moving 5.25 m/s when he starts to roll up a frictionless hill. How much higher is he when his velocity has red
Taya2010 [7]
Mechanical energy E = mgh + 1/2mv²

When he starts, let h = 0 ⇒ E₁ = 1/2mv₁²
When he reaches height h ⇒ E₂ = mgh + 1/2mv₂²

Without friction, energy is conserved at all times.

E₁ = E₂
     ↓
1/2mv₁² = mgh + 1/2mv₂²
     ↓
1/2v₁² = gh + 1/2v₂²
     ↓
gh = 1/2(v₁² - v₂²)
    ↓
h = (v₁² - v₂²) / (2g)
