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

Depending on circumstances, there are times when divers may wish to be positively, negatively or neutrally buoyant. True. False.
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Buoyancy is the most important factors for divers. All they do underwater is to observe the life down there but they also have some other work. However, divers may want to be negatively buoyant when they want to go on deep exploration. When they reach a destination, they may want to observe and neutral buoyancy then will be useful. When they want to go back on surface, they’ll utilize positive buoyancy.

If the 250 kg bumper car that you are riding in hits another bumper car that is sitting still while driving 3.5 m/s, how much fo
Vilka [71]

Answer:

875 N

Explanation:

From this question, you didn't state the time taken for the bumper car to move or to hit the other bumper car. In calculations of force, time is often needed, because

Force = mass * acceleration, while

Acceleration = velocity / time, basically

Force = mass * velocity / time.

We have our mass, we have our velocity, but we haven't time. So, for this calculation, I'd assume our time to be 1s.

Going by the formula I stated, we can then say that

Force = 250 * 3.5 / 1

Force = 875 N

This means the force my bumper car have while moving at 3.5 m/s for an estimated time of 1s is 875 N

If two planets orbit a star, but planet B is twice as far from the star as planet A, planet A will receive ____ times the flux t
Tresset [83]

Answer:

The nearest plant (A) receives 4 times more radiation from the farthest plant

Explanation:

The energy emitted by the star is distributed on the surface of a sphere, whereby intensity received is the power emitted between the area of ​​the sphere

                I = P / A

               P = I A

The area of ​​the sphere is

               A = 4π r²

Since the amount of radiation emitted by the star is constant, we can write this expression for the position of the two planets

               P = I₁ A₁ = I₂ A₂

               I₁ / I₂ = A₂ / A₁

 Suppose index 1 corresponds to the nearest planet,

            r2 = 2 r₁

            I₁ / I₂ = r₁² / r₂²

            I₁ / I₂ = r₁² / (2r₁)²

            I₁ / I₂ = ¼

           4 I₁ = I₂

The nearest plant (A) receives 4 times more radiation from the farthest plant
