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

Determine the magnitude of the momentum of a ... 107-kg halfback moving eastward at 8 m/s.The halfback's momentum in kgm/s is:
Veronika [31]

Given:

The mass of the halfback is m = 107 kg

The speed of the halfback is v = 8 m/s

To find the momentum.

Explanation:

The momentum of the halfback is

\begin{gathered} p=\text{ mv} \\ =\text{ 107}\times8 \\ =\text{ 856 kg m/s} \end{gathered}

Thus, the momentum of the halfback is 856 kg m/s

alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

Mariah trained for months leading up to the marathon and won. Her sole motivation was that after seeing her winning the marathon, her friends and family would call her as motivated and athletic. It means that Mariah wanted to fulfill her esteem needs.

Explanation:

<u>According to Abraham Maslow:</u>

Safety needs includes the personal security, the safety of health, resources and property. etc.

Physiological needs falls at the lowest level of basic needs. It includes food, water, rest. etc which are necessary for an individual's survival.

Esteem includes the need of respect and self-confidence.

Cognitive needs includes the desire of knowledge, to know things, to know what is happening and why is it happening around you.

<u>In Mariah's case</u><u>, she needed respect and motivation and thus she was trying to fulfill her esteem needs by winning the marathon.</u>
