A. How does the force on the small ball compare to the force on the basketball?

Answer:

Force will be same in magnitude but opposite in sign

Explanation:

As per Newton's III law every action has equal and opposite reaction force.

So here when small ball apply force on large ball then the two forces will be equal in magnitude but opposite in direction

B. Compare the total momentum of the two balls before and after the collision?

Answer:

Total momentum of two balls will remains same before and after collision

Explanation:

As we know that there is no external force on the system of two bodies so the sum of momentum of two balls before and after collision must be same.

So we can say initial momentum of small ball = final momentum of small + big ball together.

C. The mass of the basketball is 600 grams and its velocity before the small ball hits is 0 m/s. The mass of the small ball is 100 grams and its velocity is +5 m/s before the collision and -4 m/s afterward. What is the velocity of the basketball after the collision?

Answer:

v = 1.5 m/s

Explanation:

By momentum conservation equation we have

m_1v_{1i} = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}

100(5) = 100(-4) + 600 v

900 = 600 v

v = 1.5 m/s

Part A.
The forces are the same because the force from the smaller ball it transferring its Energy through the basketball and it's rebounding as Connecticut Energy back up to the smaller ball

A spring with constant k = 78 N/m is at the base of a frictionless, 30.0°-inclined plane. A 0.50-kg block is pressed against the
olasank [31]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

   Spring constant (k) = 78 N/m,     \theta = 30^{o}

 Mass of block (m) = 0.50 kg

According to the formula of energy conservation,

                mgh sin \theta = \frac{1}{2}kx^{2}

       h = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{kx^{2}}{mg Sin \theta}

          = \frac{78 \times 0.04}{2 \times 0.5 \times 9.8 \times 0.5}

          = 0.64 m

Thus, we can conclude that the distance traveled by the block is 0.64 m.

Xavier is roller skating at 14 km/h and tosses a set of keys forward on the ground at 8 km/h. The speed of the keys relative to
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

22 km/h

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed of Xavier, v = 14 km/h

He tosses a set of keys forward on the ground at 8 km/h, v' = 8 km/h

We need to find the speed of the keys relative to the ground. Let it is V.

As both Xavier and the keys are moving in same diretion. The relative speed wrt ground is given by :

V = v+v'

V= 14 + 8

V = 22 km/h

So, the speed of the keys relative to the ground is 22 km/h.

A person throws a pumpkin at a horizontal speed of 4.0 — off a cliff. The pumpkin travels 9.5 m horizontally
emmainna [20.7K]

Complete Question

A person throws a pumpkin at a horizontal speed of   4.0 m/s off a cliff. The pumpkin travels 9.5m horizontally before it hits the ground. We can ignore air resistance.What is the pumpkin's vertical displacement during the throw? What is the pumpkin's vertical velocity when it hits the ground?

Answer:

The  pumpkin's vertical displacement  is  H = 27 .67 \ m

The  pumpkin's vertical velocity when it hits the ground is  v_v__{f}} = 23.298 \  m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  horizontal speed is  v_h  =  4 m/s

    The horizontal distance traveled is  d =  9.5 \ m

The horizontal distance traveled is mathematically represented as

           S =  v_h * t

Where t is the time taken

substituting values

          9.5 =  4 * t

   =>     t =  \frac{9.5}{4}

            t = 2.38 \ sec

Now the vertical displacement is mathematically represented as

        H  =  v_v t  +  \frac{1}{2} a_v t^2

now the vertical velocity before the throw is  zero

    So

          H =  0 +  \frac{1}{2} (9.8) * (2.375)^2

          H = 27 .67 \ m

Now the final vertical velocity  is mathematically represented as

          v_v__{f}} =  v_v + at

  substituting values

             v_v__{f}} =  0 + (9.8)* (2.375)

            v_v__{f}} = 23.298 \  m/s

If a 25 kg lawnmower produces 347 w and does 9514 J of work, for
Igoryamba

Steps 1 and 2)

The variables are W = work, P = power, and t = time. In this case, W = 9514 joules and P = 347 watts.

The goal is to solve for the unknown time t.

-----------------------

Step 3)

Since we want to solve for the time, and we have known W and P values, we use the equation t = W/P

-----------------------

Step 4)

t = W/P

t = 9514/347

t = 27.4178674351586

t = 27.4 seconds

-----------------------

Step 5)

The lawn mower ran for about 27.4 seconds. I rounded to three sig figs because this was the lower amount of sig figs when comparing 9514 and 347.

-----------------------

Note: we don't use the mass at all
