A tennis player swings her 1000 g racket with a speed of 10 m/s. She hits a 60 g tennis ball that was approaching her at a speed

of 20 m/s. The ball rebounds at 39 m/s. (a) What is the magnitude of the change in momentum of the tennis ball?

(a)

consider the motion of the tennis ball. lets assume the velocity of the tennis ball going towards the racket as positive and velocity of tennis ball going away from the racket as negative.

m = mass of the tennis ball = 60 g = 0.060 kg

v₀ = initial velocity of the tennis ball before being hit by racket = 20 m/s

v = final velocity of the tennis ball after being hit by racket = - 39 m/s

ΔP = change in momentum of the ball

change in momentum of the ball is given as

ΔP = m (v - v₀)

inserting the above values

ΔP = (0.060) (- 39 - 20)

ΔP = - 3.54 kgm/s

hence , magnitude of change in momentum : 3.54 kgm/s

While running at a constant velocity, how should you throw a ball with respect to you so that you can catch it yourself?
timurjin [86]
You are running at constant velocity in the x direction, and based on the 2D definition of projectile motion, Vx=Vxo. In other words, your velocity in the x direction is equal to the starting velocity in the x direction. Let's say the total distance in the x direction that you run to catch your own ball is D (assuming you have actual values for Vx and D). You can then use the range equation, D= (2VoxVoy)/g, to find the initial y velocity, Voy. g is gravitational acceleration, -9.8m/s^2. Now you know how far to run (D), where you will catch the ball (xo+D), and the initial x and y velocities you should be throwing the ball at, but to find the initial velocity vector itself (x and y are only the components), you use the pythagorean theorem to solve for the hypotenuse. Because you know all three sides of the triangle, you can also solve for the angle you should throw the ball at, as that is simply arctan(y/x).

A 1.2 L weather balloon on the ground has a temperature of 25°C and is at atmospheric pressure (1.0 atm). When it rises to an el
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

71.19 C

Explanation:

25C = 25 + 273 = 298 K

Applying the ideal gas equation we have

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

where P, V and T are the pressure, volume and temperature of the gas at 1st and 2nd stage, respectively. We can solve for the temperature and the 2nd stage:

T_2 = T_1\frac{P_2V_2}{P_1V_1} = 298\frac{0.77*1.8}{1.2*1} = 298*1.155 = 344.19 K = 344.19 - 273 = 71.19 C

Need help finding the average speed.
Snowcat [4.5K]

Explanation:

To find the average of these numbers, we just have to add the three numbers together and divide by 3.

  • 2.07 + 0. 74 + 1.33 = 4.14. 4.14 / 3 = 1.38
  • 1.09 + 1.40 + 0.31 = 2.8. 2.8 / 3 ≈ 9.3333333/ 9 1/3
  • 0.95 + 1.61 + 0.56 = 3.12 / 3 = 1.04
  • 0.81 + 1.89 + 1.08 = 3.78 / 3 = 1.26
