Thumbtacks have a flat top which gives you a bigger area to push on, and the end is tapered and sharp to make it easier to push it into a wall, etc.

A basketball player drops a 0.4-kg basketball vertically so that it is traveling at 5.7 m/s when it reaches the floor. The ball
Alik [6]

Answer:

(a) p = 3.4 kg-m/s (b) 37.78 N.

Explanation:

Mass of a basketball, m = 0.4 kg

Initial velocity of the ball, u = -5.7 m/s (as it comes down so it is negative)

It rebounds upward at a speed of 2.8 m/s  (as it rebounds so positive)

(a) Change in momentum = final momentum - initial momentum

p = m(v-u)

p = 0.4 (2.8-(-5.7))

p = 3.4 kg-m/s

(b) Impulse = change in momentum

Ft = 3.4

We have, t = 0.09 s

F=\dfrac{3.4}{0.09}\\\\F=37.78\ N

Hence, this is the required solution.

You are going sledding with your little cousins during a well-earned break. You push your 23 kg cousin so that they have a speed
pogonyaev

Answer:

kinetic energy = 414 J

Explanation:

given data

mass = 23 kg  

speed = 6 m/s  

height = 17 m    

to find out

kinetic energy

solution

we get kinetic energy that is express as

kinetic energy = 0.5 × m × v²    ..........................1

here m is mass and v is speed so

put here value we get kinetic energy

kinetic energy = 0.5 × 23 × 6²

kinetic energy = 414 J
