A student standing on a stationary skateboard tosses a textbook with a mass of mb = 1.5 kg to a friend standing in front of him.

The student and the skateboard have a combined mass of mc = 105 kg and the book leaves his hand at a velocity of vb = 2.97 m/s at an angle of 26° with respect to the horizontal.
(a)Write an expression for the magnitude of the velocity of the student,vs, after throwing the book(b)Calculate the magnitude of the velocity of the student,vs, in meters per second?(c)What is the magnitude of the momentum,pe, which was transferred from the skateboard to the the Earth during the time the book isbeing thrown (in kilogram meters per second)?

Answer:

a) v_s=\frac{m_bv_bcos\theta}{m_c}

b)  v_s=0.0385 m/s

c) P_e= 1.952 kg.m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the skateboard, m_b = 1.5 kg

Combined mass, m_c = 105 kg

velocity of the book, v_b = 2.97 m/s

angle, θ = 26°

thus,

horizontal component of the velocity = vcosθ

vertical component of velocity = vsinθ

a) Applying the concept of conservation of momentum

m_bv_bcos\theta=m_cv_s

where,

v_s is the velocity of the the student

thus,

v_s=\frac{m_bv_bcos\theta}{m_c}      ............(1)

b) on substituting the values, in the equation we get the magnitude

v_s=\frac{1.5\times2.97cos26^o}{105}

or

v_s=0.0385 m/s

c) Now, the momentum (P) transferred is given as:

P = mass × velocity

on substituting the values, we get

P_e= mass × velocity

or

P_e= m_b\times v_b\times \sin\theta

on substituting the values, we get

P_e= 1.5\times 2.97\times \sin26^o

or

P_e= 1.952 kg.m/s

With only a floor plan to reference, the designer would know what about a window.?
Studentka2010 [4]
They would only know the width of the window. A floor plan is like a top down view of a building. Imagine that you cut your house in half horizontally, and then looked down at it. All you would see would be the width of the windows, not the height or anything else.

20 cm long 10 cm wide and 5 cm thick as a mass of 500 g determine the greatest pressure that can be exerted by block on the flat
uysha [10]

100000 Pascal

Explanation:

pressure= force/area

Max pressure= force/min area

so f=5

min area= 5×10^-5

5÷5*10^-5 = 100000pascal

A photon of red light (wavelength = 710 nm) and a ping-pong ball (mass = 2. 40 × 10^-3 kg) have the same momentum. At what speed
Paha777 [63]

The speed of the ball moving is

v = 3.94 \times 10 {}^{ - 25}m/s

what is momentum?

The momentum p of a classical object of mass m and velocity v is given by pclassical =mv.

For photons with wavelength λ,this equation does not hold.Instead, the momentum of the Photon is given by p Photon = h/λ

where,h is the planck's constant.

The momentum of the red Photon is

given:

h = 6.626 \times 10 {}^{ - 34}kgm {}^{2}/s(plancks \: constant)

λ = 700 \times 10 {}^{ - 9} m(photons \: wavelength)

p \: photons =  \frac{6.626 \times 10 {}^{ - 34}kgm {}  ^{2}/s }{700 \times 10 {}^{ - 9}m  }

= 9.47 \times 10 {}^{ - 28}kgm /s

since,the Photon and the ping-pong ball have the same momentum,we have

pball = pphotons =  \frac{6.626 \times 10 {}^{ - 34}kgm/s  }{700 \times 10 {}^{ - 9} }

pball = mv,m = 2.40 \times 10 {}^{ - 3}kg

v = 3.94 \times 10 {}^{ - 25} m/s

Therefore, if the red photon and the ping-pong ball have the same momentum, the ping-pong ball must have a speed of approximately

v = 3.94 \times 10 {}^{ - 25}m/s
