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

Imagine a ball is moving on the following horizontal line.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . O. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Take right as positive. O is the starting point of the ball. Denote the ball by o.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . O. . . . . . . ... . . o . . . . . .

Assume the ball is moving to the right. It has positive displacement since it is on the right of O, and positive velocity since its positive displacement is increasing.

.ñ

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . O. . . . o . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Now the ball is returning to O. It still has positive displacement since its current position is still on the right of O. However, its velocity is negative since its positive displacement is decreasing and the direction of the velocity vector points left, which is the negative side.

By now you should be able to come up with a scenario where the ball has negative displacement and positive velocity.

You can observe the same phenomenon in daily life. Say, as a stretched spring bounces to its starting position, if we let the returning direction be positive, the string has negative displacement since it is on the negative direction, but has positive velocity. Bungee jump can also used to illustrate the phenomenon.

How did ALS impact Stephen Hawking?
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

Professor Hawking had just turned 21 when he was diagnosed with a very rare slow-progressing form of ALS, a form of motor neurone disease (MND). He was at the end of his time at Oxford when he started to notice early signs of his disease. He was getting more clumsy and fell over several times without knowing why.

Muscles use force to move objects. When using a ramp to do work, would your muscles use more force or less force?
White raven [17]
Less because the ramp is letting off force but i does depend on the way you are going on the ramp
