A snowball is thrown with an initial x velocity of 7.5 m/s and an initial y velocity of 8.4 m/s . Part A How much time is requir
1 answer:
In order to calculate the time taken by the snowball to reach the highest point in its journey, we need to consider the variables along the y-direction.
Let us list out what we know from the question so that we can decide on the equation to be used.
We know that Initial Y Velocity = 8.4 m/s
Acceleration in the Y direction = -9.8 m/
, since the acceleration due to gravity points in the downward direction.
Final Y Velocity = 0 because at the highest point in its path, an object comes to rest momentarily before falling down.
Time taken t = ?
From the list above, it is easy to see that the equation that best suits our purpose here is
Plugging in the numbers, we get 0 = 8.4 - (9.8)t
Solving for t, we get t = 0.857 s
Therefore, the snowball takes 0.86 seconds to reach its highest point.

M = mass of the girl = 53.4 kg
m = mass of skateboard = 3.55 kg
V' = velocity of the combination of girl and skateboard before she jumps forward = 0
V = velocity of the girl forward = 1.32
v = velocity of the skateboard afterward = ?
Using conservation of momentum
(M + m) V' = MV + m v
inserting the values
(53.4 + 3.55) (0) = (53.4) (1.32) + (3.55) v
v = - 19.86
Answer:
4v/3
Explanation:
Assume elastic collision by the law of momentum conservation:
where v is the original speed of car 1, v1 is the final speed of car 1 and v2 is final speed of car 2. m1 and m2 are masses of car 1 and car 2, respectively
Substitute
Divide both side by , then multiply by 6 we have
So the final speed of the second car is 4/3 of the first car original speed
