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>

yanalaym [24]

Note: The answer choices are :

a) Increased

b) Decreased

c) stayed the same

Answer:

The correct option is Increased

The magnitude of the electric field potential difference between the wingtips increases.

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electric potential difference is the induced emf and is given by the equation:

emf = l (v \times B)

where l = length

v = velocity

B = magnetic field

As the altitude of the airplane increases, the magnetic flux becomes stronger, the speed of the airplane becomes perpendicular to the magnetic field, i.e. v \times B = vB sin90 = vB\\ ,

the induced emf = vlB, and thus increases.

The magnitude of the electric field potential difference between the wingtips increases

You are on your balcony and notice some bad squirrels digging in your garden directly below. You start tossing your pistachios a
Rashid [163]

Answer:

0.43 s

Explanation:

We have the following parameters:

Initial velocity, u = 7.4 m/s

Acceleration of gravity, g = 9.8 m/s^2

Distance, s = 43 in + 10 ft = 1.092 m + 3.048 m = 4.14 m

Time, t = ?

Using the equation of motion s=ut +\frac{1}{2}gt^2, we have

4.14 = 7.4t + 0.5\times9.8t^2

4.9t^2 + 7.4t - 4.14 =0

Using the quadratic formula \dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a} where a = 4.9, b = 7.4 and c = - 4.14, and solving for the positive value of t only, we have

t = 0.43 s

Bella makes the 6.1m distance to her food bowl in 8.8 seconds what is her average velocity
storchak [24]
Bella’s average velocity is about 0.693 meters per second.

To find the average velocity, you must divide the distance by the change in time, which should look like v=d/t

Here is how you set up the equation-
v=6.1/8.8

Once you divide 6.1 meters by 8.8 seconds, you should get a number that looks like 0.69318182.... however, I just rounded it to 0.693 meters per second. You can round it to whatever you like.

Hope this helped! If you have any questions about what I mentioned in my answer or explanation, feel free to comment on my answer and I’ll try to get back to you!
