Answer:

A) If the paintball stops completely the magnitude of the change in the paintball’s momentum is $p=0.273kg*m/s$

B) If the paintball bounces off its target and afterward moves in the opposite direction with the same speed, the change in the paintball’s momentum is $p=0.546kg*m/s$

C) A paintball bouncing off your skin in the opposite direction with the same speed hurts more than a paintball exploding upon your skin because of the strength exerted is twice than if it explodes.

Explanation:

A) We use the formula of momentum $p=mv$ , so we have $p=0.0032kg*85.3m/s=0.273kg*m/s$

B) We use the same formula above, then due we have a change of direction at the same speed, therefore the change in the momentum is the double so

$p=2*0.0032kg*85.3m/s=0.546kg*m/s$ .

C) The average strength of the force an object exerts during impact is determined by the amount the object’s momentum changes. therefore

$F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}$ , as we don't have any data about the impact time but we know momentum is twice, time does no matter and strength is twice too.

If eight water waves pass an ocean buoy each minute, and successive wave crests are 20 m apart, find the wave speed:____________

Llana [10]

Answer:

The wave speed is calculated below:

Explanation:

Given,

number of waves passed per minute = 8

time period = 1 minute = 60 s

distance between successive wave crests = 20 m

waves passing interval per second = $\frac{8}{60}$ $s^{-1}$

Now,

wave speed = 20 m × $\frac{8}{60}$ $s^{-1}$

= $\frac{8}3}$ m/s

= 2.67 m/s

Hence the wave speed is 2.67 m/s.

What is required for force to come into play

White raven [17]

Answer:

An interaction of one object with another object results in a force between the two objects. Thus, at-least two objects must interact for a force to come into play.

A 0.6 kg block attached to a spring of force constant 13.6 N/m oscillates with an amplitude of 9 cm. Find the maximum speed of t

mash [69]

Answer:

1) 0.43 meters per second

2) 0.21 meters per second

3) 1.02 $\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

4) 0.66 seconds

Explanation:

part 1

By conservation of energy, the maximum kinetic energy (K) of the block is at equilibrium point where the potential energy is zero. So, at the equilibrium kinetic energy is equal to maximum potential energy (U):

$K=U$

$\frac{mv^2}{2}=\frac{kx_{max}^2}{2}$

With m the mass, v the speed, k the spring constant and xmax the maximum position respect equilibrium position. Solving for v

$v=\sqrt{\frac{kx_{max}^2}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{(13.6)(0.09m)^2}{0.6}}=0.43\frac{m}{s}$

part 2

Again by conservation of energy we have kinetic energy equal potential energy:

$\frac{mv^2}{2}=\frac{kx_{max}^2}{2}=$

$v=\sqrt{\frac{kx_{max}^2}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{(13.6)(0.045m)^2}{0.6}}=0.21\frac{m}{s}$

part 3

Acceleration can be find using Newton's second law:

$F=ma$

with F the force, m the mass and a the acceleration, but elastic force is -kx, so:

$-kx=ma$

$a= -\frac{kx}{m}=-\frac{(13.6)(0.045)}{0.6}=-1.02\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

part 4

The period of an oscillator is the time it takes going from one extreme to the other one, that is going form 4.5 cm to -4.5 cm respect the equilibrium position. That period is:

$T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}=T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{0.6}{13.6}}=1.32s$

So between 0 and 4.5 cm we have half a period:

$t=\frac{T}{2}=0.66s$
