Alex throws a 0.15-kg rubber ball down onto the floor. The ball’s speed just before impact is 6.5 m/s and just after is 3.5 m/s.

If the ball is in contact with the floor for 0.050 s, what is the magnitude of the average force applied by the floor on the ball?

Answer:

F = 30 N  Directed up

Explanation:

We can solve this problem using the momentum and momentum relationship.

      I = ΔP

     I = ∫ F dt

As we are asked for the average force, that leaves the integral, giving

    I = F t

    F t = m v_{f} - m v₀

    F = m (v_{f}-v₀) / t

Note that, if you define the upward positive direction, the initial velocity is negative

Let's calculate

     F = 0.15 (3.5 - (-6.5)) / 0.050

     F = 30 N

Why can an object still be seen when it is at absolute zero?
zavuch27 [327]
<span>As the temperature goes down, the chaotic motion (velocity) of atoms start decreasing. If the temperature hits the absolute zero (which, in reality, is impossible to achieve), the atoms of the body would freeze, making the body still and stiff. One thing to note here is that the atoms do not get destroyed when the temperature reaches the absolute zero. That is the reason why the object can still be seen when it is at absolute zero.</span>

A disk-shaped merry-go-round of radius 2.13 m and mass 175 kg rotates freely with an angular speed of 0.651 rev/s. A 55.4 kg per
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

Explanation:

To find out the angular velocity of merry-go-round after person jumps on it , we shall apply law of conservation of ANGULAR momentum

I₁ ω₁ + I₂ ω₂ = ( I₁  + I₂ ) ω

I₁ is moment of inertia of disk , I₂ moment of inertia of running person , I is the moment of inertia of disk -man system , ω₁ and ω₂ are angular velocity of disc and man .

I₁ = 1/2 mr²

= .5 x 175 x 2.13²

= 396.97 kgm²

I₂ = m r²

= 55.4 x 2.13²

= 251.34 mgm²

ω₁ = .651 rev /s

= .651 x 2π rad /s

ω₂ = tangential velocity of man / radius of disc

= 3.51 / 2.13

= 1.65 rad/s

I₁ ω₁ + I₂ ω₂ = ( I₁  + I₂ ) ω

396.97 x  .651 x 2π + 251.34 x 1.65 = ( 396.97 + 251.34 ) ω

ω = 3.14 rad /s

kinetic energy = 1/2 I ω²

= 3196 J

Human-Powered Flight Human-powered aircraft require a pilot to pedal, as in a bicycle, and produce a sustained power output of a
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

# of Snickers bars 2

Explanation:

Power output= 0.30 HP

=0.3*746

= 0.30 HP (746 W=1.00 HP)

= 224 W

time required 2 h 49 m = 10140 seconds

Since power is work divided by time, then work is:

Work done by the jet = P*t

= 224 *(10140)

= 2.3 MJ (2.3 x 10^{6} J)

Converting MJ to Cal

2.3 MJ=549 Cal

# of Snickers bars = 549 Cal / 280 Cal

= 2.0 bars (rounded from 1.96)

What is the definition of visible white light wave (RoyGBive)
uranmaximum [27]

There's no such thing as a wave of white light.  Every light wave with
a certain wavelength has some color.  White light is a mixture of all
the different wavelengths with all of the different visible colors. 
They're ALL there in white light.  When they all enter your eye at
the same time, your brain gets the message of brightness with
no particular color, which we call "white light".
