A football punter accelerates a .55 kg football

Ronch [10]

Answer:

17.6 N

Explanation:

The force exerted by the punter on the football is equal to the rate of change of momentum of the football:

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

where

$\Delta p$ is the change in momentum of the football

$\Delta t=0.25 s$ is the time elapsed

The change in momentum can be written as

$\Delta p = m(v-u)$

where

m = 0.55 kg is the mass of the football

u = 0 is the initial velocity (the ball starts from rest)

v = 8.0 m/s is the final velocity

Combining the two equations and substituting the values, we find the force exerted on the ball:

$F=\frac{m(v-u)}{\Delta t}=\frac{(0.55)(8.0-0)}{0.25}=17.6 N$

On the earth, when an astronaut throws a 0.250-kg stone vertically upward, it returns to his hand a time T later. On planet X he

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

d) g/2

Explanation:

We need to use one of Newton's equations of motion to find the position of the stone at any time t.

x(t) = x₀(t) + ut - ¹/₂at²

Where

x₀(t) = initial position of the stone.

x(t) - x₀(t) = distance traveled by the stone at any time.

u = initial velocity of the stone

a = acceleration of the stone

t = time taken

On both planets, before the stone was thrown by the astronaut, x = 0 and t = 0.

=> 0 = x₀(t)

=> x₀(t) = 0

On earth, when the stone returns into the hand of the astronaut at time T on earth, x = 0.

=> 0 = 0 + uT - ¹/₂gT² (a = g)

=> uT = ¹/₂gT²

=> g = 2u/T

On planet X, when the stone returns into the hand of the astronaut, time = 2T , x = 0.

=> 0 = 0 + u(2T) - ¹/₂a(2T)²

=> 2uT = 2aT²

=> a = u/T

By comparing we see that a = g/2.

A wheel of mass 4kg is pulled up a plane inclined at 30° to the horizontal by a force of 45N applied to the axle and parallel to

Len [333]

Answer:

v = 10 m/s

Explanation:

Let's assume the wheel does not slip as it accelerates.

Energy theory is more straightforward than kinematics in my opinion.

Work done on the wheel

W = Fd = 45(12) = 540 J

Some is converted to potential energy

PE = mgh = 4(9.8)12sin30 = 235.2 J

As there is no friction mentioned, the remainder is kinetic energy

KE = 540 - 235.2 = 304.8 J

KE = ½mv² + ½Iω²

ω = v/R

KE = ½mv² + ½I(v/R)² = ½(m + I/R²)v²

v = √(2KE / (m + I/R²))

v = √(2(304.8) / (4 + 0.5/0.5²)) = √101.6

v = 10.07968...

A 110 kg hoop rolls along a horizontal floor so that the hoop's center of mass has a speed of 0.220 m/s. How much work must be d

Softa [21]

Answer:

the work that must be done to stop the hoop is 2.662 J

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the hoop, m = 110 kg

speed of the center mass, v = 0.22 m/s

The work that must be done to stop the hoop is equal to the change in the kinetic energy of the hoop;

W = ΔK.E

W = ¹/₂mv²

W = ¹/₂ x 110 x 0.22²

W = 2.662 J

Therefore, the work that must be done to stop the hoop is 2.662 J
