Here we know that mass of the person is 90 kg

His weight is given as 30 lbf

so here we can convert it into Newton as we know that

1 lbf = 4.45 N

Now from above conversion

30 lbf = 30 \times 4.45 = 133.45 N

now we can use this to find the gravity at this height

mg = 133.45

90\times g = 133.45

g = 1.49 m/s^2

now we know that with height gravity varies as

g' = g(\frac{R}{R+H})^2

1.49 = 9.8(\frac{6.37\times 10^6}{6.37\times 10^6 + h})^2

h = 1.0 \times 10^7 m

so above is the height from the surface of earth

One object is at rest, and another is moving. The two collide in a one-dimensional, completely inelastic collision. In other wor
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

Part a)

v = 16.52 m/s

Part b)

v = 7.47 m/s

Explanation:

Part a)

(a) when the large-mass object is the one moving initially

So here we can use momentum conservation as the net force on the system of two masses will be zero

so here we can say

m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = (m_1 + m_2)v

since this is a perfect inelastic collision so after collision both balls will move together with same speed

so here we can say

v = \frac{(m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i})}{(m_1 + m_2)}

v = \frac{(8.4\times 24 + 3.8\times 0)}{3.8 + 8.4}

v = 16.52 m/s

Part b)

(b) when the small-mass object is the one moving initially

here also we can use momentum conservation as the net force on the system of two masses will be zero

so here we can say

m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = (m_1 + m_2)v

Again this is a perfect inelastic collision so after collision both balls will move together with same speed

so here we can say

v = \frac{(m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i})}{(m_1 + m_2)}

v = \frac{(8.4\times 0 + 3.8\times 24)}{3.8 + 8.4}

v = 7.47 m/s

One student bangs two bricks together
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

This could be done if a stop watch is used to calculate the time taken to hear the echo and a rule should be used to calculate the distance between the bricks and the wall. Then divide distance by time

A 0.041-kg bullet has a kinetic energy of 600j. What is the velocity of the bullet?
Paladinen [302]

171.0798 M/S

In classical mechanics, kinetic energy (KE) is equal to half of an object's mass (1/2*m) multiplied by the velocity squared. For example, if a an object with a mass of 10 kg (m = 10 kg) is moving at a velocity of 5 meters per second (v = 5 m/s), the kinetic energy is equal to 125 Joules, or (1/2 * 10 kg) * 5 m/s2.
