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 ball of mass 0.400 kg that is traveling horizontally at 11.5 m/s. Your mass is 75.0 kg.
(A) If you catch the ball, with what speed do you and the ball move afterwards?
(B) If the ball hits you and bounces off your chest, so that afterwards it is moving horizontally at 7.80m/s in the opposite direction, what is your speed after the collision?

Answer:

(a) 0.061 m/s

(b) 0.103 m/s

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of momentum, the sum of initial momentum equals the sum of final momentum

Momentum, p=mv where m is the mass and v is the velocity

m_1v_1=(m_1+m_2)v_c where v_c is the common velocity, v_1 is the velocity of the ball m_1 and m_2 are masses of the ball and person respectively

Substituting the given values then

0.400\times 11.5 = (0.400+75)v_c\\v_c=0.061007958\approx 0.061 m/s

(b)

Momentum, p=mv where m is the mass and v is the velocity

m_1v_1=m_1v_2+m_2v_3

v_1 is the velocity of the ball , v_2 is the velocity of ball afterwards and v_3 is your speed, m_1 and m_2 are masses of the ball and person respectively. Since it bounces back, we give it a negative value hence

0.400\times 11.5= 0.4\times -7.8+75v_3\\v_3=0.102933333\approx 0.103 m/s

Aaron's normal response time to apply the car brakes is 0.7 seconds. Aaron's response time doubles when he is tired. How far wil
Likurg_2 [28]

Aaron's car is moving at speed of 30 m/s

His reaction time is given as 0.7 s

but when he is tired the reaction time is doubled

Now we need to find the distance covered by his car when he is tired during the time when he react to apply brakes

So here since during this time speed is given as constant so we can say that distance covered can be product of speed and time

So here we can use

d = v*t

d = 30 * 1.4

d = 42 m

So the car will move to 42 m during the time when he apply brakes

Suppose the polar bear was running on land instead of swimming. If the polar bear runs at a speed of about 8.3 m/s, how far will
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

298800 m

Explanation:

v =  \frac{d}{t}

V=speed

d=distance

t=time

d = vt

Change hours to seconds

It will be 36000s

8.3m/s * 36000s

=298800m
