A crane is used to swing a 450 kg wrecking ball into a 500 kg wall. The crane takes 5 s to push the ball into the building. The

crane provides 2000 N of force. The ball is left moving 10 m/s after the collision. How fast is the wall moving afterwards? *
How does the kinetic energy change in the crane problem?
1. KE increases
2. KE decreases
3. KE stays the same


What type of collision is this?
elasti
inelastic

This is a momentum problem, so let's find the velocity of the ball initially. It can be given by:
\vec{F} = m\vec{a}
Let's plug in values and solve for a:
\vec{a} = \frac{2000}{450} = 4.44 m/s^2
Now, we can multiply by time to get velocity:
\vec{v} = \vec{a}t = 4.44(5) = 22.2m/s

We have all the information we need, so let's set up an equation to solve for the velocity of the wall after the collision:
mv_{ib}= mv_{fb} + mv_{w}

Solve for velocity of wall finally:
v_w = \frac{mv_{ib}-mv_{fb}}{m}

Plug in all values:
v_w =  \frac{450(22.2)-450(10)}{500} = 10.98 \frac{m}{s}

So, the final velocity of the wall will be 10.98 m/s.
The KE in this problem initially was 110889 J (1/2mv^2). After the collision it was 52640.1 so, the KE decreased. 
Since there was no mashing of objects together, this was an elastic collision.

A bus took 8 hours to travel 639 km. For the first 5 hours, it
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

93 km/h

Explanation:

Given that a bus took 8 hours to travel 639 km. For the first 5 hours, it travelled at an average speed of 72 km/h

Let the first 5 hours journey distance = F

From the formula of speed,

Speed = distance/time

Substitute speed and time

72 = F/5

F = 72 × 5 = 360 km

The remaining distance will be:

639 - 360 = 279km

The remaining time will be:

8 - 5 = 3 hours

Speed = 279/3

Speed = 93 km/h

Therefore, the average speed for the remaining time of the journey is equal to 93 km/h

How much would a 75kg man weigh due to the effect of gravity
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer: 735 N

Explanation:

Weight W is a measure of the gravitational force acting on an object and is directly proportional to the product of the mass m of the body by the acceleration of gravity g:  

W=m.g

In the case of our planet Earth, the acceleration due gravity is g=9.8 m/s^{2}. So for a man whose mass is m=75 kg, his weight is:

W=(75 kg)(9.8 m/s^{2})

W=735 N
