A 70.0-kg person throws a 0.0480-kg snowball forward with a ground speed of 33.5 m/s. A second person, with a mass of 55.0 kg, c

atches the snowball. Both people are on skates. The first person is initially moving forward with a speed of 3.90 m/s, and the second person is initially at rest. What are the velocities of the two people after the snowball is exchanged? Disregard the friction between the skates and the ice. (Take the direction the snowball is thrown to be the positive direction. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.)

Answer:

The final velocity of the thrower is \bf{3.88~m/s} and the final velocity of the catcher is \bf{0.029~m/s}.

Explanation:

Given:

The mass of the thrower, m_{t} = 70~Kg.

The mass of the catcher, m_{c} = 55~Kg.

The mass of the ball, m_{b} = 0.0480~Kg.

Initial velocity of the thrower, v_{it} = 3.90~m/s

Final velocity of the ball, v_{fb} = 33.5~m/s

Initial velocity of the catcher, v_{ic} = 0~m/s

Consider that the final velocity of the thrower is v_{ft}. From the conservation of momentum,

&& m_{t}v_{ft} + m_{b}v_{fb} = (m_{t} + m_{b})v_{it}\\&or,& v_{ft} = \dfrac{(m_{t} + m_{b})v_{it} - m_{b}v_{fb}}{m_{t}}\\&or,& v_{ft} = \dfrac{(70 + 0.0480)(3.90) - (0.0480)(33.5)}{70}\\&or,& v_{ft} = 3.88~m/s

Consider that the final velocity of the catcher is v_{fc}. From the conservation of momentum,

&& (m_{c} + m_{b})v_{fc} = m_{b}v_{it}\\&or,& v_{fc} = \dfrac{m_{b}v_{it}}{(m_{c} + m_{b})}\\&or,& v_{fc} = \dfrac{(0.048)(33.5)}{(55.0 + 0.0480)}\\&or,& v_{fc} = 0.029~m/s

Thus, the final velocity of thrower is 3.88~m/s and that for the catcher is 0.029~m/s.

KatRina [158]

Answer:

Temperature : 92.9 F

Internal Energy change: -2.53 Btu/lbm

Explanation:

As

mh1=mh2

h1=h2

In table A-11 through 13E

p2=120Psi, h1= 41.79 Btu/lbm,

u1=41.49

So T1=90.49 F

P2=20Psi

h2=h1= 41.79 Btu/lbm

T2= -2.43F

u2= 38.96 Btu/lbm

T2-T1 = 92.9 F

u2-u1 = -2.53 Btu/lbm

A projectile is fired from the ground at a velocity of 30.0 m/s, 35.0 º from the horizontal. What is the maximum height the proj
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

Vy = V sin theta = 30 * ,574 = 17.2 m/s

t1 = 17.2 / 9.8 = 1.76 sec to reach max height

Max height = 17.2 * 1.76 - 1/2 * 4.9 * 1.76^2 = 15.1 m

H = V t - 1/2 g t^2 = 1.2 * 9.8 * 1.76^2 = 15.1 m

Time to fall from zero speed to ground = rise time = 1.76 sec

Vx = V cos 35 = 24.6 m / sec     horizontal speed

Time in air = 1.76 * 2 = 3.52 sec before returning to ground

S = 24.6 * 3.52 = 86.6 m
