a baseball player is dashing toward home plate with a speed of 200 feet per hour. When he decides to hit the dirt. he slides for

Serggg [28]

To solve this problem we will use the kinematic formula for the final velocity.

$V_f_x = V_0_x + a_xt$

The final speed is 0 at the moment the player stops.

The time until it stops is 1.3 s

The initial speed is 200 feet / s Note (check the speed units in the problem statement, 200ft / s is very much and 200ft / h is very small)

Then, we clear the formula.

$a_x = \frac{(Vfx-V0x)}{t}\\ a_x = \frac{(0-200)}{1.3}\\ a_x = -153.5 ft / s ^ 2$

Because the player is slowing down, the acceleration goes in the opposite direction to the player's movement, and that is why it is negative.

To answer part b) we use the following formula.

$Vf ^ 2 = Vo ^ 2 + 2a * (x_2 - x_1)\\\\ (x_2 - x_1)= \frac{(V_f ^ 2-V_0 ^ 2)}{2a}\\\\ (x_2 - x_1)= \frac{(0-200 ^ 2)}{- 2 * 153.5}\\\\ (x_2 - x_1)= 130.29 feet$

The Millersburg Ferry (m = 13000.0 kg loaded) is travelling at 11 m/s when the engines are put in reverse. The engineproduces a

Pie

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of Millersburg Ferry, m = 13000 kg

Velocity, v = 11 m/s

Applied force, F = 10⁶ N

Time period, t = 20 seconds

(a) Impulse is given by the product of force and time taken i.e.

$J=F.\Delta t$

$J=10^6\ N\times 20\ s$

$J=2\times 10^7\ N-s$

(b) Impulse is also given by the change in momentum i.e.

$J=\Delta p=p_f-p_i$

$J=p_f-p_i$

$p_f=J+p_i$

$p_f=2\times 10^7\ N-s+13000\ kg\times 11\ m/s$

$p_f=20143000\ kg-m/s$

(c) For new velocity,

$v_f=\dfrac{p_f}{m}$

$v_f=\dfrac{20143000\ kg-m/s}{13000\ kg}$

$v_f=1549.46\ m/s$

Hence, this is the required solution.

A car has a kinetic energy of 1.9 × 10^3 joules. If the velocity of the car is decreased by half, what is its kinetic energy?

VLD [36.1K]

The initial kinetic energy of the car is
$E_1 = \frac{1}{2}mv_1^2 = 1.9 \cdot 10^3 J$

Then, the velocity of the car is decreased by half: $v_2 = \frac{v_1}{2}$
so, the new kinetic energy is
$E_2 = \frac{1}{2}mv_2 ^2 = \frac{1}{2} m ( \frac{v_1}{2} )^2= \frac{1}{2}m \frac{v_1^2}{4}= \frac{E_1}{4}$
So, the new kinetic energy is 1/4 of the initial kinetic energy of the car. Numerically:
$E_2 = \frac{1.9 \cdot 10^3 J}{4}=475 J$
