Sledding down a hill, you are traveling at 10 m/s when you reach the bottom. You (inertia 80 kg ) then move across horizontal sn

ow toward a 400-kg boulder but jump off the sled (inertia 8.0 kg ) the instant before it hits the boulder. The boulder is sitting on very slick ice and moves freely when the sled hits it. The sled bounces back, moving at 6.0 m/s. At what speed does the boulder move after the sled hits it?

Answer:

V = 0.32 m /s

Explanation:

Momentum of the man on the sledge along with sledge

= (80+8) x 10 = 880 kg. m/s When the man jumps off the sledge , the velocity of the sledge will remain intact at 10 m/s

When the sledge hits the boulder and bounces back the momentum of the sledge - boulder system will remain conserved .

change in momentum of sledge = 8 x (10 +6 )

= 128  kg m/s

Change in the momentum of boulder

= 400 V -0

= 400V

400V = 128

V = 0.32 m /s

A ball is thrown straight up into the air from the ground with a speed of 10 m/s. What is the maximum height the ball will reach
Lena [83]

Answer: 5 m, 2 s

Explanation:

gravity is roughly 10 m/s²downward

That means in one second, the velocity will have been reduced to zero

The average speed is (10 + 0) / 2 = 5 m/s

h = vt = 5(1) = 5 m

It will take as long to fall back to the thrower from rest so total flight is 1 + 1 = 2 s

mash [69]

Answer:

Explanation:

To add or subtract two vectors, add or subtract the corresponding components. Let →u=⟨u1,u2⟩ and →v=⟨v1,v2⟩ be two vectors. The sum of two or more vectors is called the resultant. The resultant of two vectors can be found using either the parallelogram method or the triangle method .
