Olaf is standing on a sheet of ice that covers the football stadium parking lot in Buffalo, New York; there is negligible fricti

on between his feet and the ice. A friend throws Olaf a ball of mass 0.400 kg that is traveling horizontally at 10.9 m/s . Olaf's mass is 70.2 kg. (a) If Olaf catches the ball, with what speed vf do Olaf and the ball move afterward? Express your answer numerically in meters per second. (b) If the ball hits Olaf and bounces off his chest horizontally at 8.10 m/s in the opposite direction, what is his speed vf after the collision? Express your answer numerically in meters per second.

Explanation:

Momentum is conserved.

a) In the first scenario, Olaf and the ball have the same final velocity.

mu = (M + m) v

(0.400 kg) (10.9 m/s) = (70.2 kg + 0.400 kg) v

v = 0.0618 m/s

b) In the second scenario, the ball has a final velocity of 8.10 m/s in the opposite direction.

mu = mv + MV

(0.400 kg) (10.9 m/s) = (0.400 kg) (-8.10 m/s) + (70.2 kg) v

v = 0.108 m/s

The wheel of a car has a radius of 0.413 m. If the wheel rotates at 456 revolutions per minute, what is the speed (in m/s) at wh
suter [353]

Answer: The speed of the edge of the wheel = 19.72m/s

Explanation:

The liner speed of the edge of the wheel is given as;

V=wr

V= linear speed =?

w= angular velocity =456rpm

Converting rpm to rad/s

1rpm = π/30 rad/s

456rpm = 47.75 rad/s

r=0.413m

V=47.75 × 0.413

V= 19.72m/s

Therefore speed of the edge of the wheel = 19.72m/s

What must be the reaction force when someone hits a tree with an axe?
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer: The correct option is that the axe handle applying a force to the person's hand.

Explanation:

This reaction force is due to Newton's third law of motion. This law states that for every action there is equal and opposite reaction to it. This implies that when a force is being exerted on a surface, the surface must exert a force that is equal and opposite in direction to the exerting force. This law represents a certain symmetry in nature that forces always occur in pairs, and one body cannot exert a force on another without experiencing a force itself.

A typical example of Newton's third law includes:

--> When you hit a tree with an axe: with your hand you exert a force on the tree with the intention to cut it down(action force). The same force you excreted on the tree would be felt in your hands (reaction force).

--> when air rushes out of a balloon: when air escapes for a balloon, the opposite reaction is that the balloon flies up.
