If the kinetic energy of each ball is equal to that of the other,
then

(1/2) (mass of ppb) (speed of ppb)² = (1/2) (mass of gb) (speed of gb)²

Multiply each side by 2:

      (mass of ppb) (speed of ppb)² = (mass of gb) (speed of gb)²

Divide each side by (mass of gb) and by (speed of ppb)² :

     (mass of ppb)/(mass of gb)  =  (speed of gb)²/(speed of ppb)²

Take square root of each side:

       √ (ratio of their masses)  =  ( 1 / ratio of their speeds)²

By trying to do this perfectly rigorously and elegantly, I'm also
using up a lot of space and guaranteeing that nobody will be
able to follow what I have written.  Let's just come in from the
cold, and say it the clear, easy way:

If their kinetic energies are equal, then the product of each
mass and its speed² must be the same number.

If one ball has less mass than the other one, then the speed²
of the lighter one must be greater than the speed² of the heavier
one, in order to keep the products equal.

The pingpong ball is moving faster than the golf ball.

The directions of their motions are irrelevant.

Greg throws a 2.8-kg pumpkin horizontally off the top of the school roof in order to hit Mr. H's car. The car has parked a dista
Igoryamba

Answer:

The horizontal velocity is v = 9.2 m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The mass of the pumpkin is  m = 2.8 \ kg

      The distance of the the car from the building's base is  d = 13.4 \ m

       The height of the roof is h = 10.4 \ m

       

The height is mathematically represented as

         h = \frac{1}{2} gt^2

Where g is the acceleration due to gravity which has a value of g =9.8 \ m/s^2

substituting values

          10.4= 0.5 * 9.8 * t

making the time taken the subject of the formula

         t = \frac{10.4}{0.5 * 9.8 }

          t = 1.457 \ s

The speed at which the pumpkin move horizontally can be represented mathematically  as

                         v = \frac{d}{t}

substituting values

                     v =\frac{13.4}{1.457}

                     v = 9.2 m/s

Trumpeter A holds a B-flat note on the trumpet for a long time. Person C is running towards the trumpeter at a constant velocity
Vikki [24]
You didn't mention it, but the trumpeter herself has to be standing still.

<span>Person C, the one running towards the trumpeter, hears a pitch
that is higher than B-flat.  (A)

Person B, the one running away from the trumpeter, hears a pitch
that is lower than B-flat.

Person D, the one standing still the whole time, hears the B-flat.</span>

: A honeybucket man is carrying his load. He has a pole 2 m long with a bucket hanging from each end. The buckets have a mass of
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

Using the principle of moment, assuming the rod is uniform rod of mass 1 kg

the center of mass of the rod will be at 1 m

assuming the system is in equilibrium,

clockwise moment = anticlockwise moment

let the distance of the man shoulder be x from the center of gravity and also is the pivot point

total mass of bucket + mass of honey = 2kg + 3 kg =  5 kg for rear bucket and

2kg + 5 kg = 7 kg for front bucket

( 5kg × ( 1+x)) + ( 1 kg × x) = 7 kg × ( 1 - x)

5 + 5 x + x = 7 - 7x

5 + 6x = 7 - 7x

6x + 7x = 7 - 5

13x = 2

x = 2 / 13 = 0.154 m

the honeybucket man's shoulder is 0.154 m from the center of the pole ( forward ).
