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

Because polymers are covalently bonded material, and metals are metalicly bonded material. 

Covalent bonds do not let atoms exchange electrons like metalic bonds do.

castortr0y [4]

Answer:

From the narrative in the question, there seem to have been a break failure and the ordered step of response to this problem is to

1) Put on the hazard light to inform other road users of a problem or potential fault with your car and so they should continue their journey with caution.

2) Avoid pressing on the acceleration pedal as this might cause the car to gradually slow down due to friction and gravity

3)Try navigate the car to the service lane. This is the less busy lane where cars are sometimes parked briefly.

4) Continuously pump the breaks to try stop the car. Continuously pumping the breaks might just help you build enough pressure to stop the car because often time, there are some pressure left in the break.

5) At this point, the speed of the car should be relatively slow. So at this point, you could try apply the emergency hand break. Do not pull the emergency hand breaks if the car is on high speed. Doing this may cause the car to skid off the road.

Answer:

1 \times 10 { - }^{9}

cubic metre or 1e-9

Explanation:

•By division. Number of cubic millimetre divided(/) by 1000000000, equal(=): Number of cubic metre.

•By multiplication. 83 mm3(s) * 1.0E-9 = 8.3E-8 m3(s)

How do mass and distance affect gravity?
elixir [45]
A gravitational force between objects depends on two things- their masses and the distance between them. So the greater the mass and the less distance there is, the more gravitational force and is the mass is less and the distance is great the gravitational force is weak
