Kids are pelting a window with snowballs. On average, two snowballs of roughly 300-g mass hit the window each second, moving hor
hram777 [196]

Answer:

The average force exerted on the window due to two snowballs is 6 N

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of snowballs m = 300 \times 10^{-3} Kg

Velocity of snowball v = 10 \frac{m}{s}

For finding the average force,

Force is equal to the change in momentum,

   F = \frac{dP}{dt}

Here, final velocity is zero so we write,

 F = \frac{mv}{1}

Where dt = 1 sec

 F = 300 \times 10^{-30} \times 10

F = 3 N

Above value of force is due to one ball, but here given in question there are two ball,

F = 3 \times 2

F = 6 N

Therefore, the average force exerted on the window due to two snowballs is 6 N

Eva8 [605]

When she starts out, he is (40x2.5)= 100 miles ahead of her.

She gains (65-40)= 25 miles on him every hour.

It takes her (100/25)= 4 hours to catch up to him.

A quarterback throws a football toward a receiver with an initial speed of 20 m/s at an angle of 30∘ above the horizontal. At th
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

a) In order to catch the ball at the level at which it is thrown in the direction of motion.

b)Speed of the receiver will be 7.52m/s

Explanation:

Calculating range,R= Vo^2Sin2theta/g

R= (20^2×Sin(2×30)/9.8 = 35.35m

Let receiver be(R-20) = 35.35-20= 15.35m

The horizontal component of the ball is:

Vox= Vocostheta= 20× cos30°

Vox= 17.32m/s

Time taken to coverR=35.35m with 17.32m/s will be:

t=R/Vox= 35.35/17.32

t= 2.04seconds

b)Speed required to cover 15.35m at 2.04seconds

Vxreciever= d/t = 15.35/2.04 = 7.52m/s
