Answer:

1.55 m

Explanation:

Momentum: This can be defined as the product of mass of a body and it velocity. the S.I unit of momentum is kgm/s.

Mathematically,

Momentum can be represented as,

M = mv................................. Equation 1

Where m = mass of the body, v = velocity of the body, M = momentum.

Making v the subject of the equation,

v = M/m........................................... Equation 2

Given: M = 0.80 kg.m/s, m = 0.145 kg.

Substituting into equation 2,

v = 0.8/0.145

v = 5.52 m/s.

Using the equation of motion,

v² = u² + 2gs ....................... Equation 3.

Where v = final velocity of the rubber ball, u = initial velocity of the rubber ball, s = distance, g = acceleration due to gravity.

Given: v = 5.52 m/s, u = 0 m/s, g = 9.81 m/s².

Substituting into equation 2

5.52² = 0² + 2(9.81)s

30.47 = 19.62s

s = 30.47/19.62

s = 1.55 m.

Thus the ball was dropped from a height of 1.55 m

<h3>What is the restoring force?</h3>

The restoring force is the force that seeks to restore the spring to its equilibrium position. It has the same magnitude as the stretching force but acts in opposite direction.

Thus, the restoring force on the spring is found to have exactly the same magnitude as the stretching force.

A body is traveling at 5.0 m/s along the positive direction of an x axis; no net force acts on the body. An internal explosion s

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the conservation of momentum and conservation of kinetic energy.

By definition kinetic energy is defined as

$KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2$

Where,

m = Mass

v = Velocity

On the other hand we have the conservation of the moment, which for this case would be defined as

$m*V_i = m_1V_1+m_2V_2$

Here,

m = Total mass (8Kg at this case)

$m_1=m_2 =$ Mass each part

$V_i =$ Initial velocity

$V_2 =$ Final velocity particle 2

$V_1 =$ Final velocity particle 1

The initial kinetic energy would be given by,

$KE_i=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

$KE_i = \frac{1}{2}8*5^2$

$KE_i = 100J$

In the end the energy increased 100J, that is,

$KE_f = KE_i KE_{increased}$

$KE_f = 100+100 = 200J$

By conservation of the moment then,

$m*V_i = m_1V_1+m_2V_2$

Replacing we have,

$(8)*5 = 4*V_1+4*V_2$

$40 = 4(V_1+V_2)$

$V_1+V_2 = 10$

$V_2 = 10-V_1$ (1)

In the final point the cinematic energy of EACH particle would be given by

$KE_f = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

$KE_f = \frac{1}{2}4*(V_1^2+V_2^2)$

$200J=\frac{1}{2}4*(V_1^2+V_2^2)$ (2)

So we have a system of 2x2 equations

$V_2 = 10-V_1$

$200J=\frac{1}{2}4*(V_1^2+V_2^2)$

Replacing (1) in (2) and solving we have to,

200J=\frac{1}{2}4*(V_1^2+(10-V_1)^2)

PART A: $V_1 = 10m/s$

Then replacing in (1) we have that

PART B: $V_2 = 0m/s$
