A 144-g baseball moving 26 m/s strikes a stationary 5.25-kg brick resting on small rollers so it moves without significant frict

ion. After hitting the brick, the baseball bounces straight back, and the brick moves forward at 1.05 m/s
(a) What is the baseball spped after the collision?
(b) Find the total kinetic energy before and after the collision.

Answer:

a. $v_{f1}=-12.28m/s$

b. $K_{Einitial} = 48.672J$ , $K_{E(final)} = 13.75 J$

Explanation:

Let the velocity of the ball after collision is v m/s, By the law of momentum conservation:

$p_i=p_f$

$m_1*u_1+m_2*u_2 = m_1*v_1 + m_2*v_2$

$0.144kg*26m/s + 5.25kg*0 = 0.144kg*v_{f1} + 5.25kg*1.05m/s$

Solve to vf1

$v_{f1}=\frac{0.144kg*26m/s-5.25kg*1.05m/s}{0.144kg}$

$v_{f1}=-12.28m/s$

(b)

$K_E(initial) = 1/2*m_1u_1^2$

$K_E = 1/2*0.144kg*(26m/s)^2$

$K_{Einitial} = 48.672J$

$K_{E(final)} = 1/2*m_1v_1^2 + 1/2*m_2v_2^2$

$K_{E(final)} = 1/2*0.144kg*(12.28m/s)^2 + 1/2*5.25 x (1.05m/s)^2$

$K_{E(final)} = 13.75 J$

A toy rocket, launched from the ground, rises vertically with an acceleration of 28 m/s 2 for 9.7 s until its motor stops. Disre

Answer:

5080.86m

Explanation:

We will divide the problem in parts 1 and 2, and write the equation of accelerated motion with those numbers, taking the upwards direction as positive. For the first part, we have:

$y_1=y_{01}+v_{01}t+\frac{a_1t^2}{2}$

$v_1=v_{01}+a_1t$

We must consider that it's launched from the ground ( $y_{01}=0m$ ) and from rest ( $v_{01}=0m/s$ ), with an upwards acceleration $a_{1}=28m/s^2$ that lasts a time t=9.7s.

We calculate then the height achieved in part 1:

$y_1=(0m)+(0m/s)t+\frac{(28m/s^2)(9.7s)^2}{2}=1317.26m$

And the velocity achieved in part 1:

$v_1=(0m/s)+(28m/s^2)(9.7s)=271.6m/s$

We do the same for part 2, but now we must consider that the initial height is the one achieved in part 1 ( $y_{02}=1317.26m$ ) and its initial velocity is the one achieved in part 1 ( $v_{02}=271.6m/s$ ), now in free fall, which means with a downwards acceleration $a_{2}=-9,8m/s^2$ . For the data we have it's faster to use the formula $v_f^2=v_0^2+2ad$ , where d will be the displacement, or difference between maximum height and starting height of part 2, and the final velocity at maximum height we know must be 0m/s, so we have:

$v_{02}^2+2a_2(y_2-y_{02})=v_2^2=0m/s$

Then, to get $y_2$ , we do:

$2a_2(y_2-y_{02})=-v_{02}^2$

$y_2-y_{02}=-\frac{v_{02}^2}{2a_2}$

$y_2=y_{02}-\frac{v_{02}^2}{2a_2}$

And we substitute the values:

$y_2=y_{02}-\frac{v_{02}^2}{2a_2}=(1317.26m)-\frac{(271.6m/s)^2}{2(-9.8m/s^2)}=5080.86m$

A 90 kg man stands in a very strong wind moving at 17 m/s at torso height. As you know, he will need to lean in to the wind, and

victus00 [196]

Answer:

a) $t=195.948N.m$

b) $\phi=13.6 \textdegree$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Density $\rho=1.225kg/m^2$

Velocity of wind $v=14m/s$

Dimension of rectangle:50 cm wide and 90 cm

Drag coefficient $\mu=2.05$

a)

Generally the equation for Force is mathematically given by

$F=\frac{1}{2}\muA\rhov^2$

$F=\frac{1}{2}2.05(50*90*\frac{1}{10000})*1.225*17^2$

$F=163.29$

Therefore Torque

$t=F*r*sin\theta$

$t=163.29*1.2*sin90$

$t=195.948N.m$

b)

Generally the equation for torque due to weight is mathematically given by

$t=d*Mg*sin90$

Where

$d=sin \phi$

Therefore

$t=sin \phi*Mg*sin90$

$195.948=833sin \phi$

$\phi=sin^{-1}\frac{195.948}{833}$

$\phi=13.6 \textdegree$

Explain how gravity and inertia interact to cause the Earth to revolve around the Sun.

eduard

Answer:

The gravity of the sun and the planets works together with the inertia to create the orbits and keep them consistent. The gravity pulls the sun and the planets together, while keeping them apart. The inertia provides the tendency to maintain speed and keep moving. The planets want to keep moving in a straight line because of the physics of inertia. However, the gravitational pull wants to change the motion to pull the planets into the core of the sun. Together, this creates a rounded orbit as a form of compromise between the two forces.

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

Work done on the two cart system is 2 N-m

Explanation:

Work done is equal to the product of force and displacement

Work done =4N * (0.17 +0.33)

work done = 4N * 0.5

Work done = 2 N -m

Work done on the two cart system is 2 N-m
