a) 32 kg m/s

Assuming the spring is initially at rest, the total momentum of the system before the collision is given only by the momentum of the bowling ball:

p_i = m u = (8 kg)(2 m/s)=16 kg m/s

The ball bounces off at the same speed had before, but the new velocity has a negative sign (since the direction is opposite to the initial direction). So, the new momentum of the ball is:

p_{fB}=m v_b =(8 kg)(-2 m/s)=-16 kg m/s

The final momentum after the collision is the sum of the momenta of the ball and off the spring:

p_f = p_{fB}+p_{fS}

where p_{fS} is the momentum of the spring. For the conservation of momentum,

p_i = p_f\\p_i = p_{fB}+p_{fS}\\p_{fS}=p_i -p_{fB}=16 kg m/s -(-16 kg m/s)=32 kg m/s


b) -32 kg m/s

The change in momentum of bowling ball is given by the difference between its final momentum and initial momentum:

\Delta p=p_{fb}-p_i=-16 kg m/s - 16 kg m/s=-32 kg m/s


c) 64 N

The change in momentum is equal to the product between the average force and the time of the interaction:

\Delta p=F \Delta t

Since we know \Delta t=0.5 s, we can find the magnitude of the force:

F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}=\frac{-32 kg m/s}{0.5 s}=-64 N

The negative sign simply means that the direction of the force is opposite to the initial direction of the ball.


d) The force calculated in the previous step (64 N) is larger than the force of 32 N.

A 4 kg rock is dropped from 5 m. There is no friction. What kind of energy does is have before? What kind of energy does it have
denpristay [2]
1) The total mechanical energy of the rock is:
E=U+K
where U is the gravitational potential energy and K the kinetic energy.

Initially, the kinetic energy is zero (because the rock starts from rest, so its speed is zero), and the total mechanical energy of the rock is just gravitational potential energy. This is equal to
E_i=U=mgh
where m=4 kg is the mass, g=9.81 m/s^2 is the gravitational acceleration and h=5 m is the height.
Putting the numbers in, we find the potential energy
U=mgh=(4 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(5 m)=196.2 J

2) Just before hitting the ground, the potential energy U is zero (because now h=0), and all the potential energy of the rock converted into kinetic energy, which is equal to:
E_f=K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2
where v is the speed of the rock just before hitting the ground. Since the mechanical energy of the rock must be conserved, then the kinetic energy K before hitting the ground must be equal to the initial potential energy U of the rock:
K=U=196.2 J

3) For the work-energy theorem, the work W done by the gravitational force on the rock is equal to the variation of kinetic energy of the rock, which is:
W=196.2 J-0 J=196.2 J

The bob of a pendulum swings back and forth with a total mechanical energy of 300 J. What is the kinetic energy of the bob when
zhenek [66]

at the lowest point in the trajector, the kinetic energy of the bob is 300 J.

Explanation:

The total mechanical energy of the bob at any point of its motion is given by

E=KE+PE

Where

KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2 is the kinetic energy, where

m is the mass of the bob

v is its speed

PE=mgh is the gravitational potential energy, where

g is the acceleration of gravity

h is the height of the bob, measured with respect to the lowest point of the trajector

In absence of friction, the total mechanical energy E remains constant. So we have:

- When the bob swings upward, the PE increases (because h increases) and the KE decreases (so the speed decreases). At the highest point in the trajector, the speed of the bob is zero (v=0), so its KE is also zero and all the mechanical energy is potential energy: U = 300 J

- When the bob swings downward, the PE decreases (because h decreases) and the KE increases (so the speed increases). At the lowest point in the trajectory, the height has become zero (h=0), so the PE is zero and all the mechanical energy is kinetic energy: KE = 300 J

Therefore, at the lowest point in the trajector, the kinetic energy of the bob is 300 J.

A mass of 2.50 kg is in a gravitational field of 14.0 N/kg. What force acts on the mass?
Olenka [21]
To determine the force that acts on the mass, just multiply the mass by the gravitational field. Using the given data,
                             F = (2.50 kg)(14 N/kg) = 35 N
Therefore, the force that acts on the mass is equal to 35 N.

Does peer pressure affect your physical activity routine? Describe this peer pressure and tell whether it is positive or negativ
Alexxx [7]
Yes, peer pressure affects one's physical activity routine. It can do so both negatively and positively. For instance, if one is pressured to do drugs when around their peers, it would most likely lead to an addiction that lasts even when they are not with those people anymore. However, from a positive viewpoint, one's peers could also pressure them to do something productive, such as trying a new beneficial activity that they are afraid of (ex. trying out for a talent show.) This could lead to a disruption in routine as that individual would begin practicing for said talent show. Hence, peer pressure can be both negative and positive, but in both instances, it changes the routine of the individual effected.
