Answer:

The acceleration of Mildred is, 1.33 m/s²

Explanation:

Given data,

The initial velocity of Mildred, u = 12 m/s

The final velocity of Mildred, v = 8 m/s

The time period of travel, t = 3 s

The acceleration of Mildred,

a = (v-u)/t

a = (8 - 12) /3

= -4/3

= -1.33 m/s²

The negative sign indicates that the Mildred is decelerating.

Hence, the acceleration of Mildred is, 1.33 m/s²

A ball of mass 4.5 kg moving with speed of 2.2 m/s in the +x-direction hits a wall and bounces back with the same speed in the x

Levart [38]

Answer:

The change of the momentum of the ball is $-19.8\, \frac{mkg}{s}$

Explanation:

We should find $\varDelta\overrightarrow{p}=\overrightarrow{p_{f}}-\overrightarrow{p_{i}}$ (1)with $\overrightarrow{p_{i}}$ the initial momentum and $\overrightarrow{p_{f}}$ the final momentum. Linear momentum is defined as $\overrightarrow{p}=m\overrightarrow{v}$ , using that on (1):

$\varDelta\overrightarrow{p}=m \overrightarrow{v_{f}}-m \overrightarrow{v_{i}}$ (2)

It's important to note that momentum and velocity are vectors and direction matters, so if +x direction is the direction towards the wall and the -x direction away the wall $\overrightarrow{v_{i}}=+2.2\, \frac{m}{s}$ and $\overrightarrow{v_{f}}=-2.2\, \frac{m}{s}$ so (2) becomes:

$\varDelta\overrightarrow{p}=m(-2.2- (+2.2))=-(4.5)(4.4)$

$\varDelta\overrightarrow{p}=-19.8\, \frac{mkg}{s}$
