A 706-N man stands in the middle of a frozen pond of radius 8.0 m. He is unable to get to the other side because of a lack of fr

iction between his shoes and the ice. To overcome this difficulty, he throws his 1.2-kg physics textbook horizontally toward the north shore at a speed of 8.0 m/s. How long does it take him to reach the south shore?

Answer:

t=62 s

Explanation:

Applying the conservation of linear momentum formula:

(m1+m2)*v_{o1}=m1*v_{f1}+m2*v_{f2}

the initial velocity is zero, we can calculate the man's mass using the gravitational force formula:

F_g=m.g\\\\m=\frac{706N}{9.81}\\\\m=72.0kg

now:

m*v_{f1}=-m_b*v_b\\\\V_{f1}=-\frac{m_b*v_b}{m}\\\\V_{f1}=-\frac{1.2kg*8.0m/s}{72.0kg}\\\\V_f=-0.13m/s

That is 0.13m/s due south.

because there is no friction, the man will maintain a constant velocity, so:

d=v*t\\t=\frac{d}{v}\\t=\frac{8m}{0.13m/s}\\\\t=62s

A seismic wave is detected 100m, 5s after and explosion. Calculate the wave speed
sertanlavr [38]

we know that,

Frequency = 1/ time period

hence, Feq = 1/5 ===> 0.2 Hz

hence, wave velocity = freq * wavelength

hence,

V = 0.2 * 100

==> Wave velocity = 20 m/s

Two billiard balls of identical mass move toward each other. Assume that the collision between them is perfectly elastic. If the
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

-20.0 m/s and 30.0 m/s

Explanation:

Momentum is conserved:

m (30.0) + m (-20.0) = m v₁ + m v₂

30.0 − 20.0 = v₁ + v₂

10.0 = v₁ + v₂

Since the collision is perfectly elastic, energy is also conserved.  Since there's no rotational energy or work done by friction, the initial kinetic energy equals the final kinetic energy.

½ m (30.0)² + ½ m (-20.0)² = ½ mv₁² + ½ mv₂²

(30.0)² + (-20.0)² = v₁² + v₂²

1300 = v₁² + v₂²

We now have two equations and two variables.  Solve the system of equations using substitution:

1300 = v₁² + (10 − v₁)²

1300 = v₁² + 100 − 20v₁ + v₁²

0 = 2v₁² − 20v₁ − 1200

0 = v₁² − 10v₁ − 600

0 = (v₁ + 20) (v₁ − 30)

v₁ = -20, 30

If v₁ = -20, v₂ = 30.

If v₁ = 30, v₂ = -20.

So either way, the final velocities are -20.0 m/s and 30.0 m/s.
