To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the conservation of momentum. This can be defined as the product between the mass and the velocity of each object, and by conservation it will be understood that the amount of the initial momentum is equal to the amount of the final momentum. By the law of conservation of momentum,

m_1u_1+m_2u_2 = m_1v_1+m_2v_2

Here,

m_1 = Mass of Basketball

m_2 = Mass of Tennis ball

u_1 = Initial velocity of Basketball

u_2 = Initial Velocity of Tennis ball

v_1 = Final velocity of Basketball

v_2 = Final velocity of the tennis ball

Replacing,

(0.8)(0.5)+(0.1)(-5.0)=(0.8)(0.3)+(0.1)v_2

Solving for the final velocity of the tennis ball

v_2 = 11m/s^2

Therefore the velocity of the tennis ball after collision is 11 m/s

A 0.80 kg basketball traveling upward at 5.0 m/s impacts an 8.0 x 10^{-2} kg tennis ball traveling  downward at 5.0 m/s. The basketball’s velocity after the collision is 3.0 m/s upward. What is the  velocity of the tennis ball after the collision?

<h2>Answer:</h2>

15m/s

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The principle of conservation of linear momentum states that "in the absence of external forces, the linear momentum of colliding bodies before and after collision does not change".

This means that total linear momentum of colliding bodies before collision is the same after collision.

The momentum (P) of a body is the motion that the body has and it is given by the product of the mass (m) of the body and its velocity (v). i.e

P = m x v

Using this principle, lets solve the problem;

Momentum of basket ball before collision + Momentum of tennis ball before collision

    =

Momentum of basket ball after collision + Momentum of tennis ball after collision.

Let;

upward motion be positive and downward be negative.

Also let,

m_{B} = mass of basketball = 0.80kg

m_{T} = mass of tennis ball = 8 x 10^{-2}kg = 0.08kg

u_{B} = initial velocity of the basket ball before collision = +5.0m/s (since motion is upwards).

u_{T} = initial velocity of the tennis ball before collision = -5.0m/s (since motion is downwards).

v_{B} = final velocity of the basketball after collision = +3.0m/s (since motion is upwards).

v_{T} = final velocity of the tennis ball after collision.

Therefore,

Momentum of basket ball before collision = m_{B} x u_{B}

Momentum of tennis ball before collision = m_{T} x u_{T}

Momentum of basket ball after collision = m_{B} x v_{B}

Momentum of tennis ball after collision = m_{T} x v_{T}

=> (m_{B} x u_{B}) + (m_{T} x u_{T}) = (m_{B} x v_{B}) + (m_{T} x v_{T})

Substituting the values into the above equation gives;

=> (0.8 x 5.0) + (0.08 x -5.0) = (0.8 x 3.0) + (0.08 x v_{T})

=> (0.8 x 5.0) - (0.08 x 5.0) = (0.8 x 3.0) + (0.08 x v_{T})

=> (4) - (0.4) = (2.4) + (0.08v_{T})

=> 3.6 = 2.4 + 0.08v_{T}

=> 0.08v_{T} = 3.6 - 2.4

=> 0.08v_{T} = 1.2

=> v_{T} = \frac{1.2}{0.08}

=> v_{T} = 15m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the tennis ball after the collision is 15m/s

A 500.-kg roller coaster car starts from rest at the top of a 60.0-meter hill.
Paraphin [41]

1.47x10^5 Joules  
The gravitational potential energy will be the mass of the object, multiplied by the height upon which it can drop, multiplied by the local gravitational acceleration. And since it started at the top of a 60.0 meter hill, halfway will be at 30.0 meters. So  
500 kg * 30.0 m * 9.8 m/s^2 = 147000 kg*m^2/s^ = 147000 Joules.  
Using scientific notation and 3 significant figures gives 1.47x10^5 Joules.

A 26.2-kg dog is running northward at 3.02 m/s, while a 5.30-kg cat is running eastward at 2.74 m/s. Their 65.1-kg owner has the
REY [17]

Answer:

Angle with the +x axis is θ = 79.599degree

Then the velocity of owner = 1.235m/s

Explanation:

Given that the mass of dog is m1 =26.2 kg

velocity of dog is u1 = 3.02 m/s (north)

mass of cat is m2 = 5.3 kg

velocity is u2 = 2.74 m/s (east )

Mass of owner is M = 65.1 kg

Consider the east direction along +x axis andnorth along +y

momentum of dog is Py = m1 x u1

= 79.124 kg.m/s (j)

momentum of cat is Px = m2 x u2

= 14.522 kg.m/s (i)

Then the net magnitude of momentum is P = (Px2 + Py2)1/2

= 80.445

Angle with the +x axis is θ =tan-1(Py / Px ) = 79.599 degree

Then the velocity of owner is v = P / M = 1.235 m/s
