Kyle, a 95.0 kg football player, leaps straight up into the air (with no horizontal velocity) to catch a pass. He catches the 0.

430 kg ball precisely at the peak of his jump, when he is 0.589 meters off the ground. He hits the ground 0.0409 meters away from where he leapt. If the ball was moving horizontally when it was caught, how fast was the ball traveling?

Answer:

The initial speed of the ball was 26.2 m/s

Explanation:

When the football player is in the air at his maximum height the vertical component of velocity is zero, To obtain the horizontal velocity when the player catches the ball we need to apply the linear momentum conservation theorem:

m_1*v_{o1}+m_2*v_{o2}=m_t*v_f\\0.430kg*(v)+m_2*(0)=mt*vt

we need to obtain the time taken to go down.

y=Y_o+v_o*t-\frac{1}{2}g*t^2\\\\0=0.589-4.9t^2\\solving:\\t_1=0.346s\\

We have a horizontal displacement and the time taken to stop, so:

v_f=\frac{d}{t}=\frac{0.0409m}{0.346s}=0.118m/s

so:

0.430kg*(v)+m_2*(0)=(m1+m2)*vt\\v=\frac{(95.0kg+0.430kg)*0.118m/s}{0.430kg}\\\\v=26.2m/s

If the frequency of q of a trait is 0.4, what is the frequency of p?
lianna [129]
In genetic traits, p and q represent the relative probabilities of the two alleles manifesting. If these two are the only options (ex. a dominant one and a recessive one), then the probabilities of both must sum up to 1. In this case, since we are given that q = 0.4, then p + q = 1, p + 0.4 = 1, and p = 0.6.

A mass of 1 kg is moving in a circle of radius 3.3 meters. What is the liner velocity v m/s that would give a Centripetal Force
Ghella [55]

Answer:

The linear velocity of the object is 8.71 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the object, m = 1 kg

radius of the circle, r = 3.3 meters

centripetal force, F = 23 N

Centripetal force is given by;

F_c = \frac{mv^2}{r}\\\\

where;

v is the linear velocity of the object

F_c = \frac{mv^2}{r}\\\\mv^2 = F_cr\\\\v^2 = \frac{F_cr}{m}\\\\v= \sqrt{\frac{F_cr}{m}} \\\\v= \sqrt{\frac{23*3.3}{1}}\\\\v = 8.71 \ m/s

Therefore, the linear velocity of the object is 8.71 m/s.

1)what is the definition of moment of inertia?
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

Moment of inertia is the inertia of a rotating body with respect to its rotation. So basically it's the object's resistance to a rotational acceleration. This relates to Newton's first law! What does that exactly mean? Let's check out the explanation.

One formula that it is written in is I= mrx^{2}

Explanation:

As Bill Nye says, "Inertia is a property of matter. Objects that are not moving don't move unless they get pushed or pulled. Moving objects keep moving unless they get pushed or pulled. This feature of objects and materials is what we call inertia."

I would check out Dan Fullerton's concept
