A basketball player passes a ball to a teammate at a velocity of 6 m/s. The ball has a mass of 0.51 kg. If the original player h

as a mass of 59 kg and there is no net force on the system, what is the velocity of the player after releasing the ball? Let a positive velocity be in the direction of the pass.

We can solve the problem by using conservation of momentum.

The player + ball system is an isolated system (there is no net force on it), therefore the total momentum must be conserved. Assuming the player is initially at rest with the ball, the total initial momentum is zero:

p_i = 0

The total final momentum is:

p_f = p_p + p_b

where p_p is the momentum of the player and p_b is the momentum of the ball.

The momentum of the ball is: p_b = mv=(0.51 kg)(6 m/s)=3.06 kg m/s

While the momentum of the player is: p_p = Mv_p, where M=59 kg is the player's mass and vp is his velocity. Since momentum must be conserved,

p_f = p_i = 0

so we can write

p_f = Mv_p + p_b =0

and we find

v_p = -\frac{p_b}{M}=-\frac{3.06 kg m/s}{59 kg}=-0.052 m/s

and the negative sign means that it is in the opposite direction of the ball.

You are trying to determine the specific gravity of a solid object that floats in water. If m is the mass of your object, mS is
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

Specific Gravity = m/[m(s)-m(os)]

Explanation:

Specific gravity, also called relative density, is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance. By this definition we need to find out the ratio of density of the object of mass m to the density of the surrounding liquid.

m = mass of the object

<u>Weight in air</u>

W (air) = mg, where g is the gravitational acceleration

<u>Weight with submerged with only one mass</u>

m(s)g + Fb = mg + m(b)g, <em>consider this to be equation 1</em>

where Fb is the buoyancy force

Weight with submerged with both masses

m(os)g + Fb’ = mg + m(b)g, <em>consider this to be equation 2</em>

<u>equation 1 – equation 2 would give us</u>

m(s)g – m(os)g = Fb’ – Fb

where Fb = D x V x g, where D is the density of the liquid the object is submerged in, g is the force of gravity and V is the submerged volume of the object

m(s)g – m(os)g = D(l) x V x g

m(s) – m(os) = D(l) x V

we know that Mass = Density x V, which in our case would be, D(b) x V, which also means

V = Mass/D(b), where D(b) is the density of the mass

<u>Substituting V into the above equation we get</u>

m(s) – m(os) = [D(l) x m)/ D(b)]

Rearranging to get the ratio of density of object to the density of liquid

D(b)/D(l) = m/[m(s)-m(os)], where D(b)/D(l) denotes the specific gravity

What is entropy and how is it related to string theory?
balu736 [363]

Answer:

Explanation:

String theory proposes that the fundamental constituents of the universe are one-dimensional “strings” rather than point-like particles. String theory also requires six or seven extra dimensions of space, and it contains ways of relating large extra dimensions to small ones. In statistical mechanics, entropy is an extensive property of a thermodynamic system. It quantifies the number Ω of microscopic configurations that are consistent with the macroscopic quantities that characterize the system theyre related  It later developed into superstring theory, which posits a connection called supersymmetry between bosons and the class of particles called fermions. Five consistent versions of superstring theory were developed before it was conjectured in the mid-1990s that they were all different limiting cases of a single theory in 11 dimensions known as M-theory. In late 1997, theorists discovered an important relationship called the AdS/CFT correspondence, which relates string theory to another type of physical theory called a quantum field theory.

A 115 g hockey puck sent sliding over ice is stopped in 15.1 m by the frictional force on it from the ice.
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

(a) Ff = 0.128 N

(b μk = 0.1135

Explanation:

kinematic analysis

Because the hockey puck  moves with uniformly accelerated movement we apply the following formulas:

vf=v₀+a*t Formula (1)

d= v₀t+ (1/2)*a*t² Formula (2)

Where:  

d:displacement in meters (m)  

t : time in seconds (s)

v₀: initial speed in m/s  

vf: final speed in m/s  

a: acceleration in m/s

Calculation of the acceleration of the  hockey puck

We apply the Formula (1)

vf=v₀+a*t      v₀=5.8 m/s ,  vf=0

0=5.8+a*t

-5.8 = a*t

a= -5.8/t   Equation (1)

We replace a= -5.8/t in the Formula (2)

d= v₀*t+ (1/2)*a*t²   ,  d=15.1 m ,  v₀=5.8 m/s

15.1 = 5.8*t+ (1/2)*(-5.8/t)*t²  

15.1= 5.8*t-2.9*t

15.1= 2.9*t

t = 15.1 / 2.9

t= 5.2 s

We replace t= 5.2 s in the equation (1)

a= -5.8/5.2

a= -1.115 m/s²

(a) Calculation of the  frictional force (Ff)

We apply Newton's second law

∑F = m*a    Formula (3)

∑F : algebraic sum of the forces in Newton (N)

m : mass in kilograms (kg)

a : acceleration in meters over second square (m/s²)

Look at the free body diagram of the  hockey puck in the attached graphic

∑Fx = m*a     m= 115g * 10⁻³ Kg/g = 0.115g    ,  a= -1.12 m/s²

-Ff = 0.115*(-1.115)  We multiply by (-1 ) on both sides of the equation

Ff = 0.128 N

(b) Calculation of the coefficient of friction (μk)

N: Normal Force (N)

W=m*g= 0.115*9.8= 1.127 N : hockey puck  Weight

g: acceleration due to gravity =9.8 m/s²

∑Fy = 0

N-W=0

N = W

N =  1.127 N

μk = Ff/N

μk = 0.128/1.127

μk = 0.1135
