Two physics students are doing a side competition during a game of bowling, seeing who can toss a ball with the larger momentum.

The first bowler throws a 4.5 kg ball at 8.6 m/s. Part A A second bowler throws a 6.4 kg ball. What speed must she beat to win the competition?

Answer:

she should beat a speed of  v₂ = 6.04 m/s in order to win the competition

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the momentum p is defined as

p = m*v

where

m= mass of the ball

v= velocity of the ball

denoting 1 and 2 as the first and second bowler , then to reach the momentum of the first bowler

p₂=p₁

therefore

m₁*v₁ = m₂*v₂

v₂ = v₁ * (m₁/m₂)

replacing values

v₂ = v₁ * (m₁/m₂) =8.6 m/s * (4.5 kg/6.4 kg ball) = 6.04 m/s

then since the momentum p = m*v increases with increasing v (at constant m)  , she should beat a speed of  v₂ = 6.04 m/s in order to win the competition

Tresset [83]
Use the rule of 3 simple 

1680 beats ------- 60 min.
x beats -------------- 1 min. 
----------------------------------
 x = (1680*1)/60 = 1680/60 = 168/6 = 28 beats per minute

The sum of Ali and Mel's age is 39. If Mel is 3 years younger than twice Ali's age, how old is Mel?
olga55 [171]

Answer:

Age of Mel is 25 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,the sum of Ali and Mel's age is 39. If Mel is 3 years younger than twice Ali's age.

Let 'x' be the Ali's age  and 'y' be the Mel's age

<u>To find the value of x and y</u>

sum of Ali and Mel's age is 39

⇒ x + y = 39    ------(1)

  Mel is 3 years younger than twice Ali's age

⇒ y = 2x - 3   -------(2)

⇒  2x - y = 3  -----(3)

(1) + (3) ⇒  

 x + y = 39

2x - y = 3

----------------

3x   = 42

x = 42/3 = 14

y = 2x - 3 = 14*2 - 3  = 25

Therefore the age of Ali = 14

Age of Mel = 25

Answer:

(m+n) -a = r

Step-by-step explanation:

first, you have to find what m+n is because that is their total budget, then you have to remove how much their apartment costs from their budget, because r is the amount of free cash they have. once A is subtracted from m+n, you have r

Select the locations on the number line to plot the points 9/2 and −7/2 .
myrzilka [38]
To plot these points on the number line, you should label the long lines on the number line as such starting from the left (-5-already there, -4,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4,5-already there).

Now take each number and convert the improper fraction into a mixed number. 9/2 = 4 1/2 and -7/2 = -3 1/2.

4 1/2 would plotted on the line exactly in between the 4 and 5.

-3 1/2 would be plotted on the line exactly halfway between -3 and -4.

You will draw a dot to show each of these positions on a number line.
