You are standing on a sheet of ice that covers the football stadium parking lot in Buffalo; there is negligible friction between

your feet and the ice. A friend throws you a 0.425 kg ball that is traveling horizontally at 12.0 m/s . Your mass is 68.5 kg . For related problem-solving tips and strategies, you may want to view a Video Tutor Solution of Astronaut rescue. Part A If you catch the ball, with what speed do you and the ball move afterwards? Express your answer in centimeters per second.

Answer:

0.074m/s

Explanation:

We need the formula for conservation of momentum in a collision, this equation is given by,

m_1u_1+m_2u_2 = m_1v_1+m_2v_2

Where,

m_1 = mass of ball

m_2 = mass of the person

u_1 = Velocity of ball before collision

u_2 = Velocity of the person before collision

v_1 = velocity of ball afer collision

v_2= velocity of the person after collision

We know that after the collision, as the person as the ball have both the same velocity, then,

v_1 = v_2

m_1u_1 + m_2u_2 = (m_1+m_2)v_2

Re-arrenge to find v_2,

v_2 = \frac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{m_1+m_2}

Our values are,

m_1= 0.425kg

u_1= 12m/s

m_2= 68.5kg

u_2= 0m/s

Substituting,

v_2 = \frac{(0.425)(12)+(68.5)(0)}{0.425+68.5}

v_2 = 0.074m/s

<em />

<em>The speed of the person would be 0.074m/s after the collision between him/her and the ball</em>

1. Avogadro's hypothesis. Avogadro hypothesized that equal volumes of all gases (at the same pressure) will have the same number of molecules. From PV=nRT, we know that one mole of gas takes up 22.4 L
2. Mass number. The mass number is the sum of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus so Carbon 12 has an atomic number of 6 which indicates 6 protons, and a mass number of 12 so 12-6 = 6 neutrons.
3. Avogadro's number. Avogadro's number is the number of units in one mole of any substance, which has been defined as 6.02 x10^23
4. Isotopes are the different forms of a single element. They differ in neutrons. One example is Hydrogen which has three isotopes Protium, Deuterium, and Tritium.
5. Atomic mass. The mass of the atom is equal to the sum of the protons and the neutrons as electrons are so small their mass is negligible. This is not exactly the same as the mass number because this number takes into account the different isotopes
6. mole A mole has the same number of entities as 12 grams of carbon 12, it is expressed by Avogadro's number so 1 mole = 6.02 x10^23 atoms or molecules, etc
7. molar mass- the amount that one mole of substance weighs. For carbon 12, 12 grams has one mole of atoms by definition. So for carbon 12, the molar mass is 12 g/mol

Dominik [7]

Answer:

14.8m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial speed  = 17m/s

Unknown:

Maximum height  = ?

Solution:

At the maximum height, the final speed will be 0m/s;

 We use of the kinematics equation to solve this problem.

     V²   = U²   - 2gH

V is the final velocity

U is the initial velocity

g is the acceleration due to gravity

H is the height

         0²   = 17²  -  (2  x 9.8 x h )

          0 = 289  - (9.6h)

         -289  = -19.6h

            h  = 14.8m

Alecsey [184]

Answer:0.1759 v

Explanation:

Intensity of wave at receiver end is

I=\frac{P_{avg}}{A}

I=\frac{3.80\times 10^3}{4\times \pi \times \left ( 4\times 1609.34\right )^2}

I=7.296\times 10^{-6} W/m^2

Amplitude of electric field at receiver end

E_{max}=\sqrt{2I\mu _0c}

Amplitude of induced emf

=E_{max}d

=\sqrt{2\times 7.29\times 10-6\times 4\pi \times 3\times 10^8}\times 0.75

=17.591\times 10^{-2}=0.1759 v
