While playing basketball in PE class, Logan lost his balance after making a lay-up and colliding with the padded wall behind the

basket. His 74-kg body decelerated from 7.6 m/s to 0 m/s in 0.16 seconds.
a. Determine the force acting upon Logan's body.
b. If Logan had hit the concrete wall moving at the same speed, his momentum would have been reduced to zero in 0.0080 seconds. Determine what the force on his body would have been for such an abrupt collision.

Answer:

a.) F = 3515 N

b.) F = 140600 N

Explanation: given that the

Mass M = 74kg

Initial velocity U = 7.6 m/s

Time t = 0.16 s

Force F = change in momentum ÷ time

F = (74×7.6)/0.16

F = 3515 N

b.) If Logan had hit the concrete wall moving at the same speed, his momentum would have been reduced to zero in 0.0080 seconds

Change in momentum = 74×7.6 + 74×7.6

Change in momentum = 562.4 + 562.4 = 1124.8 kgm/s

F = 1124.8/0.0080 = 140600 N

Alpha particles, each having a charge of +2e and a mass of 6.64 ×10-27 kg, are accelerated in a uniform 0.50 T magnetic field to

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

$KE=1.2036\times 10^{-12}\ J$

Explanation:

Given:

charge on the alpha particle, $q=2e=3.2\times 10^{-19}\ C$

mass of the alpha particle, $m=6.64\times 10^{-27}\ kg$

strength of a uniform magnetic field, $B=0.5\ T$

radius of the final orbit, $r=0.5\ m$

<u>During the motion of a charge the magnetic force and the centripetal forces are balanced:</u>

$q.v.B=m.\frac{v^2}{r}$

$m.v=q.B.r$

where:

v = velocity of the alpha particle

$v=\frac{q.B.r}{m}$

$v=\frac{3.2\times 10^{-19}\times 0.5\times 0.5}{6.64\times 10^{-27}}$

$v=1.2048\times 10^{7}\ m.s^{-1}$

Here we observe that the velocity of the aprticle is close to the velocity of light. So the kinetic energy will be relativistic.

<u>We firstly find the relativistic mass as:</u>

$m'=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} } } \times m$

$m'=\frac{6.64\times 10^{-27}}{\sqrt{1-\frac{(1.2048\times 10^7)^2}{(3\times 10^8)^2} } }$

$m'=6.6533\times10^{-27}\ kg$

now kinetic energy:

$KE=m'.c-m.c$

$KE=6.6533\times 10^{-27}\times (3\times 10^8)^2-6.64\times 10^{-27}\times (3\times 10^8)^2$

$KE=1.2036\times 10^{-12}\ J$

A Smart Car, which has a mass of 1000 kg, is going 20 m/s. When it hits the barrier, it stops with a time of 0.5 seconds. What i

antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

The change in momentum = -20000 kg m/s.

Explanation:

Mass m = 1000 kg

speed v₁ = 20 m/s

speed v₂ = 0 m/s

We know that,

The change in momentum

ΔP = m (Δv)

ΔP = m (v₂ - v₁)

= 1000 (0 - 20)

= 1000 (-20)

= -20000 kg m/s

Thus, the change in momentum = -20000 kg m/s.

Note: negative sign indicates that the velocity is reducing when it hits the barrier.

A student pushes a 0.2 kg box against a spring causing the spring to compress 0.15 m. When the spring is released, it will launc

german

Answer:

The maximum height the box will reach is 1.72 m

Explanation:

F = k·x

Where

F = Force of the spring

k = The spring constant = 300 N/m

x = Spring compression or stretch = 0.15 m

Therefore the force, F of the spring = 300 N/m×0.15 m = 45 N

Mass of box = 0.2 kg

Work, W, done by the spring = $\frac{1}{2} kx^2$ and the kinetic energy gained by the box is given by KE = $\frac{1}{2} mv^2$

Since work done by the spring = kinetic energy gained by the box we have

$\frac{1}{2} mv^2$ = $\frac{1}{2} kx^2$ therefore we have v = $\sqrt{\frac{kx^2}{m} }$ = $x\sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }$ = $0.15\sqrt{\frac{300}{0.2} }$ = 5.81 m/s

Therefore the maximum height is given by

v² = 2·g·h or h = $\frac{v^2}{2g}$ = $\frac{5.81^{2} }{2*9.81}$ = 1.72 m
