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

<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 hopper jumps straight up to a height of 1.3 m. With what velocity did he leave the floor
xxMikexx [17]

The velocity with which the jumper leaves the floor is 5.1 m/s.

<h3>What is the initial velocity of the jumper?</h3>

The initial velocity of the jumper or the velocity with which the jumper leaves the floor is calculated by applying the principle of conservation of energy as shown below.

Kinetic energy of the jumper at the floor = Potential energy of the jumper at the maximum height

¹/₂mv² = mgh

v² = 2gh

v = √2gh

where;

  • v is the initial velocity of the jumper on the floor
  • h is the maximum height reached by the jumper
  • g is acceleration due to gravity

v = √(2 x 9.8 x 1.3)

v = 5.1 m/s
