Airplanes are launched from aircraft carriers by means of a steam catapult. The catapult is a well-insulated cylinder that conta

ins steam, and is fitted with a frictionless piston. The piston is connected to the airplane by a cable. As the steam expands, the movement of the piston causes movement of the plane. A catapult design calls for 270 kg of steam at 15 MPa and 450°C to be expanded to 0.4 MPa. How much work can this catapult generate during a single stroke? Compare this to the energy required to accelerate a 30,000 kg aircraft from rest to 350 km per hour.

A ball with mass of 0.050 kg is dropped from a height of h1 = 1 .5 m. It collides with the floor, then bounces up to a height of
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Impulse of reaction force of floor = change in momentum

Velocity of impact = √ 2gh₁

= √ 2 x 9.8 x 1.5 = 5.4 m /s.

velocity of rebound = √2gh₂

= √ 2x 9.8 x 1

= 4.427 m / s.

Initial momentum = .050 x 5.4 = .27 kg m/s

Final momentum = .05 x 4.427 = .22 kg.m/s

change in momentum = .27 - .22 = .05 kg m/s

Impulse = .05 kg m /s

Impulse = force x time

force = impulse / time

.05 / .015 = 3.33 N.

kinetic energy = 1/2 m v²

Initial kinetic energy = 1/2 x .05 x 5.4²

= 0.729 J

Final Kinetic Energy =1/2 x .05 x 4.427²

= 0.489 J

Change in Kinetic energy =0 .24 J

Lost kinetic energy is due to conversion of energy into sound light etc.

A 45.0 kg ice skater stands at rest on the ice. A friend tosses the skater a 5.0 kg ball. The skater and the ball then move back
Allushta [10]

Answer:

u = 5 m/s

Explanation:

given,

Mass of ice skater, M = 45 Kg

initial speed = 0 m/s

mass of the ball, m = 5 Kg

velocity of skater and the ball,V = 0.5 m/s

speed of the ball = ?

using conservation of momentum

m u + M u' =( M + m ) V

initial speed of ice skater is zero

5 x u + 45 x 0 =( 45 + 5 ) V

5 u = 50 x 0.5

5 u = 25

u = 5 m/s

hence, the speed of the ball is equal to 5 m/s
