A 54 kg man holding a 0.65 kg ball stands on a frozen pond next to a wall. He throws the ball at the wall with a speed of 12.1 m

/s (relative to the ground) and then catches the ball after it rebounds from the wall. How fast is he moving after he catches the ball? Ignore the projectile motion of the ball, and assume that it loses no energy in its collision with the wall. Answer in units of m/s.

Answer:

The velocity of the man is 0.144 m/s

Explanation:

This is a case of conservation of momentum.

The momentum of the moving ball before it was caught must equal the momentum of the man and the ball after he catches the ball.

Mass of ball = 0.65 kg

Mass of the man = 54 kg

Velocity of the ball = 12.1 m/s

Before collision, momentum of the ball = mass x velocity

= 0.65 x 12.1 = 7.865 kg-m/s

After collision the momentum of the man and ball system is

(0.65 + 54)Vf = 54.65Vf

Where Vf is their final common velocity.

Equating the initial and final momentum,

7.865 = 54.65Vf

Vf = 7.865/54.65 = 0.144 m/s

A glider is gliding through the air at a height of 416 meters with a speed of 45.2 m/s. The glider
julia-pushkina [17]

There's not enough information to find an answer.

I think the idea here is that in descending (416 - 278) = 138 meters,
the glider gives up some gravitational potential energy, which
becomes kinetic energy at the lower altitude.  This is all well and
good, but we can't calculate the difference in potential energy
without knowing the mass of the glider.

Importance of liquid pressure
trapecia [35]

Answer:

hope it helps...

Explanation:

Both the water in the ocean and the air in the atmosphere exert pressure because of their moving particles. ... This causes greater pressure. Denser fluids such as water exert more pressure than less dense fluids such as air. The particles of denser fluids are closer together, so there are more collisions in a given area.

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:1.96m

Explanation:

Work=4850J

Force=2470N

Distance =work ➗ force

Distance =4850 ➗ 2470

Distance =1.96m
