Suppose a clay model of a koala bear has a mass of 0.205 kg and slides on ice at a speed of 0.720 m/s. It runs into another clay

model, which is initially motionless and has a mass of 0.320 kg. Both being soft clay, they naturally stick together. What is their final velocity (in m/s)? (Enter the magnitude.)

Answer:

Final velocity, v = 0.28 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the model, m_1=0.205\ kg

Speed of the model, u_1=0.72\ m/s

Mass of another model, m_2=0.32\ kg

Initial speed of another model, u_2=0

To find,

Final velocity

Solution,

Let V is the final velocity. As both being soft clay, they naturally stick together. It is a case of inelastic collision. Using the conservation of linear momentum to find it as :

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)V

V=\dfrac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{(m_1+m_2)}

V=\dfrac{0.205\times 0.72+0.32\times 0}{(0.205+0.32)}

V = 0.28 m/s

So, their final velocity is 0.28 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

Rainbow [258]

Understanding the given:
85 kg mountain climber
6.50 m long rope
gravity = 10m/s2

If we want to identify the work done on this scenario 
we get f = 85kg x 10m/s2 = 850 N
w = 850N x 6.5 m = 5525 J

A soccer ball is traveling at a velocity of 50 m/s. The kinetic energy of the ball is 500 J. What is the mass of the soccer ball
Savatey [412]
A soccer ball is traveling at a velocity of 50 m/s. The kinetic energy of the ball is 500 J.The mass of the soccer ball is 0.4 kgs. This answer is derived from the formula K=1/2 MV^2.So velocity and kinetic energy are given from that mass of the ball is calculated.By substituting the values 500=1/2*M*50*50 which gives M=0.4 Kgs.<span>

If a ball is launched horizontally at 40 m/s
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

40m/s

Explanation:

The horizontal component of velocity remains constant because there are no external forces in that direction

By applying motion equations, V= U+ at

where ,

  • v - final velocity
  • u - initial velocity
  • a-acceleration
  • t - time

v = u +at

As no force act on the ball ( we neglect air resistance here) no acceleration is seen,

So v = u = 40m/s
