Answer: catching the ball is a better choice.

Explanation:

The collision of 2 objects involves involves large impact force since the force is inversely proportional to the time in which the momentum of the object changes.

Mathematically

$F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}$

If we catch the ball we increase the time in which the momentum of the ball is decreased thus the impact force that acts on us is lower as larger time is allowed for the ball to decrease it's momentum.

If we allow the ball to hit us the momentum of the ball changes in a short period of time thus applying a large impact force on our body thus increasing the chances of toppling.

A 52.0-kg person, running horizontally with a velocity of +3.63 m/s, jumps onto a 15.2-kg sled that is initially at rest. (a) Ig

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

The coefficient of kinetic friction between the sled and the snow is 0.0134

Explanation:

Given that:

M = mass of person = 52 kg

m = mass of sled = 15.2 kg

U = initial velocity of person = 3.63 m/s

u = initial velocity of sled = 0 m/s

After collision, the person and the sled would move with the same velocity V.

a) According to law of momentum conservation:

Total momentum before collision = Total momentum after collision

MU + mu = (M + m)V

$V=\frac{MU+mu}{M+m}$

Substituting values:

$V=\frac{MU+mu}{M+m}=\frac{52(3.63)+15.2(0)}{52+15.2} =2.81m/s$

The velocity of the sled and person as they move away is 2.81 m/s

b) acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

d = 30 m

Using the formula:

$V^2=2\mu(gd)\\\mu=\frac{V^2}{2gd} \\\mu=\frac{2.81^2}{2*9.8*30} =0.0134$

The coefficient of kinetic friction between the sled and the snow is 0.0134

Which mixtures could be separated using evaporation? Check all that apply. fat in milk salt in ocean water mud in pond water but

salantis [7]

I would go with salt in ocean water as when you heat it and the water begins to evaporate it will leave the salt behind

Also water in mud as the water would evaporate and leave the mud residue behind

Why does water feel cool when it evaporates

Illusion [34]

First, it makes your skin feel cooler when it's wet. And when it evaporates it removes some heat. But sweat will only evaporate in an environment where there isn't muchwater in the air. In a place with high humidity, there're already lots of water molecules in the air.

What conditions must be satisfied for a body to be in equilibrium

dem82 [27]

For an object to be in equilibrium, it must be experiencing no acceleration. This means that both the net force and the net torque on the object must be zero.
