A tennis ball with a speed of 11.3 m/s is moving perpendicular to a wall. after striking the wall, the ball rebounds in the oppo

site direction with a speed of 7.2207 m/s. if the ball is in contact with the wall for 0.00803 s, what is the average acceleration of the ball while it is in contact with the wall? take "toward the wall" to be the positive direction. answer in units of m/s 2 .

To calculate the average acceleration of the ball we use the formula,

a= \frac{v_{f} -v_{i}}{t}

Here, v_{f} is the final velocity of the ball and v_{i} is the initial velocity of the ball t is the time in contact with the wall.

Given v_{i} = 11.3 m/s towards the wall and v_{f} = 7.2207 m/s

away from the wall and t=0.00803 s.

Substituting these values in above formula , we get

a=\frac{(-7.2207 m/s)-11.3 m/s}{0.00803 s}

Herev_{f} is negative because ball is moving away from the wall.

a= - 2306 .4 \ m/s^{2}

Therefore, average acceleration of the ball is - 2306 .4 \ m/s^{2} (away from the wall).

You drop your frozen rock from a green bridge. The frozen rock starts from rest (initial velocity = 0ms). The rock takes 4.3s to
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

The velocity of the frozen rock at t = 1.5\,s is -14.711 meters per second.

Explanation:

The frozen rock experiments a free fall, which is a type of uniform accelerated motion due to gravity and air viscosity and earth's rotation effect are neglected. In this case, we need to find the final velocity (v), measured in meters per second, of the frozen rock at given instant and whose kinematic formula is:

v = v_{o} + g\cdot t (Eq. 1)

Where:

v_{o} - Initial velocity, measured in meters per second.

g - Gravity acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

t - Time, measured in seconds.

If we get that v_{o} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}, g = -9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} and 1.5\,s, then final velocity is:

v = 0\,\frac{m}{s}+\left(-9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right) \cdot (1.5\,s)

v = -14.711\,\frac{m}{s}

The velocity of the frozen rock at t = 1.5\,s is -14.711 meters per second.

Mary and her younger brother Alex decide to ride the 26 ft diameter carousel at the State Fair. Mary sits on one of the horses i
hammer [34]

Answer:

a_M=1.92a_A

Explanation:

\omega_M=\omega_A = Angular speed

r_M = Distance of Mary = 11.5 ft

r_A = Distance of Alex = 6 ft

Ratio of centripetal acceleration is given by

\dfrac{a_M}{a_A}=\dfrac{\omega_M^2r_M}{\omega_A^2r_A}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{a_M}{a_A}=\dfrac{r_M}{r_A}\\\Rightarrow a_M=a_A\dfrac{r_M}{r_A}\\\Rightarrow a_M=\dfrac{11.5}{6}a_A\\\Rightarrow a_M=1.92a_A

Mary's centripetal acceleration is 1.92 times the centripetal acceleration of Alex

A mountaintop is a height y above the level ground. A woman measures the angle of elevation of the
Kamila [148]
Refer to the diagram shown below.
We want to find y in terms of d, φ and θ.

By definition,
tan (\theta) =  \frac{y}{x} \\\\ tan( \phi) = \frac{y}{x-d}

Therefore
y = x tan(θ)                   (1)
y = (x - d) tan(φ)           (2)

Equate (1) and (2).
(x - d) \, tan(\phi) = x \, tan(\theta) \\ x[tan(\phi) - tan(\theta)] = d \, tan(\phi) \\ x= \frac{d tan(\phi)}{tan(\phi)-tan(\theta)}

From (1), obtain the required expression for y.

Answer:
y= \frac{d \, tan(\phi) \, tan(\theta)}{tan(\phi)-tan(\theta)}

A sealed cubical container 10.0 cm on a side contains three times Avogadro's number of molecules at a temperature of 24.0°C. Fin
rodikova [14]

This question involves the concepts of general gas equation and pressure.

The force exerted by the gas on one of the walls of the container is "74.08 KN".

First, we will use the general gas equation to find out the pressure of the gas:

PV = nRT

where,

P = Pressure of the gas = ?

V = Volume of cube = (side length)³ = (10 cm)³ = (0.1 m)³ = 0.001 m³

n = no. of moles = 3 (since molecules equal to avogadro's number make up 1 mole)

R = general gas constant = 8.314 J/mol.K

T = Absolute Temperature = 24°C + 273 = 297 K

Therefore,

P = \frac{(3)(8.314\ J/mol.k)(297\ K)}{0.001\ m^3}

P = 7407.78 KPa

Now, the force on one wall can be given as follows:

P =\frac{F}{A}\\\\F=PA

where,

A = area of one wall = (side length)² = (0.1 m)² = 0.01 m²

Therefore,

F=(7407.78\ KPa)(0.01\ m^2)\\

<u>F = 74.08 KN</u>
