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

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

  1/8

Explanation:

17,100 years is 3 times the half-life of 5,700 years. After each half-life, half remains, so the amount remaining after 3 half-lives is ...

  (1/2)(1/2)(1/2) = 1/8

1/8 of the sample remains after 17,100 years.

why does diving 30m below sea level affect our bodies more than being in a building 30m above sea level
Genrish500 [490]
Imagine you are in a swimming pool 30m deep. Assuming you know that water is denser than air, you would know that the 30m of water above you will carry more weight, and press down on your body. Say you were in a swimming pool 60m deep, you would be sandwiched between 30m of water pressing down on you, and the upthrust created by the 30m of water below you.

In a building 30m up, the pressure will be regulated, as you are in a building. The floor will be strong enough to support the weight of the body, and the body will not recoil into itself.

What is the change in thermal energy E if the coefficent of kinetic friction between the box and floor is .4 , the distance the
Jet001 [13]

This question can be solved using the concept of friction energy.

The thermal energy change is b "258.4 J".

The change in thermal energy will be equal to the friction energy produced during the motion of the box.

Change\ In\ Thermal\ Energy = E = Friction\ Energy\\\\E = \mu fd

where,

μ = coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.4

f = force applied = 38 N

d = distance traveled by the box = 17 m

Therefore,

E = (0.4)(38\ N)(17\ m)

<u>E = 258.4 J</u>

A set of four capacitors are attached to a 12V battery in the circuit shown below. All capacitances are measured in milli-Farads
Bond [772]

The amount of electric charge that resides on each capacitor once it is fully charged is 0.37 C.

<h3>Total capacitance of the circuit</h3>

The total capacitance of the circuit is calculated as follows;

Capacitors in series;

1/Ct = 1/8 + 1/7.5

1/Ct = 0.25833

Ct = 3.87 mF

Capacitors is parallel;

Ct = 3.87 mF + 12 mF + 15 mF

Ct = 30.87 mF

Ct = 0.03087 F

<h3>Charge in each capacitor</h3>

Q = CV

Q = 0.03087 x 12

Q = 0.37 C

Thus, the amount of electric charge that resides on each capacitor once it is fully charged is 0.37 C.
