During a circus act, a performer thrills the crowd by catching a cannon ball shot at him. The cannon ball has a mass of m1 = 7.5

kg and the horizontal component of its velocity is v = 8.85 m/s when the performer, of mass m2 = 61.5 kg, catches it.
If the performer is on nearly frictionless roller skates, what is his recoil velocity?

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply law of conservation of momentum .

total Initial momentum =

7.5 x 8.85 = 66.375 kg m / s

total mass = 7.5 + 61.5 = 69 kg , common velocity of ball and performer be v

Total momentum = 69 v

69 v  = 66.375

v = 66.375 / 69

= .962 m /s .

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

166 W

Explanation:

Power is the rate at which work is done.

\text{Power} = \dfrac{\text{Work done}}{\text{time}}

The work done by Jill is the product of the weight of the pail and the height it moves.

The weight is the product of the mass and acceleration of gravity, <em>g</em>. Taking <em>g</em> as 9.81 m/s², the weight is

<em>W</em> = (6.90 kg)(9.81 m/s²) = 67.689 N

Work done = (67.689 N)(27.0 m) = 1827.603 J

Power = (1827.603 J) ÷ (11.0 s) = 166 W

One cereal bar has a mass of 37 g. What is the mass of 6 cereal bars? Is that more than or less than 1 kg? Explain your answer.
GuDViN [60]

The mass is 222g.  No, it is less than 1kg.  There are 1000 grams in a kilogram so it would be 0.222kg.  Hope this Helps :D
