Fleas have remarkable jumping ability. a 0.60 mg flea, jumping straight up, would reach a height of 40 cm if there were no air r
irakobra [83]
To answer, we determine the velocity of the flea when it leaves the ground. Using the given value for distance, the velocity can be determined through the equation,

                     2a d = (Vf)² - (Vi)²

where a is the acceleration due to gravity, d is distance, Vf is the final velocity which is equal to zero and Vi is the initial velocity. Substituting the known values,

               2(9.8 m/s²)(40cm/100cm) = (Vi)²

The value of Vi from the equation is 2.8 m/s. 

The equation for determining the kinetic energy is:
                   KE = 0.5mv²

Substituting,
                  KE = 0.5(0.60 x 10^-3g)(1 kg/1000g)(2.8 m/s)²
                        KE = 2.352 x 10^-6 J

A 0.144 kg baseball is moving towards home plate with a speed of 43.0 m/s when it is bunted. the bat exerts an average force of
Ganezh [65]

As per impulse momentum theorem we know that

F\Delta t = m(v_f - v_i)

now here we will have

F = 6.50 \times 10^3 N

t = 1.30 ms

m = 0.144 kg

v_i = -43 m/s

now we need to find final speed using above formula

(6.50 \times 10^3)(1.30 \times 10^{-3}) = 0.144 ( v_f - (-43))

v_f = 15.7 m/s

so final speed is given as above

Is the magnitude of the acceleration of the center of mass of spool A greater than, less than, or equal to the magnitude of the
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

The acceleration of the centre of mass of spool A is equal to the magnitude of the acceleration of the centre of mass of spool B.

Explanation:

From the image attached, the description from the complete question shows that the two spools are of equal masses (same weight due to same acceleration due to gravity), have the same inextensible wire with negligible mass is attached to both of them over a frictionless pulley; meaning that the tension in the wire is the same on both ends.

And for the acceleration of both spools, we mention the net force.

The net force acting on a body accelerates the body in the same direction as that in which the resultant is applied.

For this system, the net force on either spool is exactly the same in magnitude because the net force is a difference between the only two forces acting on the spools; the tension in the wire and their similar respective weights.

With the net force and mass, for each spool equal, from

ΣF = ma, we get that a = ΣF/m

Meaning that the acceleration of the identical spools is equal also.

Hope this Helps!
