Answer:

The final velocity of the thrower is $\bf{3.88~m/s}$ and the final velocity of the catcher is $\bf{0.029~m/s}$ .

Explanation:

Given:

The mass of the thrower, $m_{t} = 70~Kg$ .

The mass of the catcher, $m_{c} = 55~Kg$ .

The mass of the ball, $m_{b} = 0.0480~Kg$ .

Initial velocity of the thrower, $v_{it} = 3.90~m/s$

Final velocity of the ball, $v_{fb} = 33.5~m/s$

Initial velocity of the catcher, $v_{ic} = 0~m/s$

Consider that the final velocity of the thrower is $v_{ft}$ . From the conservation of momentum,

$&& m_{t}v_{ft} + m_{b}v_{fb} = (m_{t} + m_{b})v_{it}\\&or,& v_{ft} = \dfrac{(m_{t} + m_{b})v_{it} - m_{b}v_{fb}}{m_{t}}\\&or,& v_{ft} = \dfrac{(70 + 0.0480)(3.90) - (0.0480)(33.5)}{70}\\&or,& v_{ft} = 3.88~m/s$

Consider that the final velocity of the catcher is $v_{fc}$ . From the conservation of momentum,

$&& (m_{c} + m_{b})v_{fc} = m_{b}v_{it}\\&or,& v_{fc} = \dfrac{m_{b}v_{it}}{(m_{c} + m_{b})}\\&or,& v_{fc} = \dfrac{(0.048)(33.5)}{(55.0 + 0.0480)}\\&or,& v_{fc} = 0.029~m/s$

Thus, the final velocity of thrower is $3.88~m/s$ and that for the catcher is $0.029~m/s$ .

In some cases, neither of the two equations in the system will contain a variable with a coefficient of 1, so we must take a fur

Margaret [11]

Answer:

D = -4/7 = - 0.57

C = 17/7 = 2.43

Explanation:

We have the following two equations:

$3C + 4D = 5\ --------------- eqn (1)\\2C + 5D = 2\ --------------- eqn (2)$

First, we isolate C from equation (2):

$2C + 5D = 2\\2C = 2 - 5D\\C = \frac{2 - 5D}{2}\ -------------- eqn(3)$

using this value of C from equation (3) in equation (1):

$3(\frac{2-5D}{2}) + 4D = 5\\\\\frac{6-15D}{2} + 4D = 5\\\\\frac{6-15D+8D}{2} = 5\\\\6-7D = (5)(2)\\7D = 6-10\\\\D = -\frac{4}{7}$

<u>D = - 0.57</u>

Put this value in equation (3), we get:

$C = \frac{2-(5)(\frac{-4}{7} )}{2}\\\\C = \frac{\frac{14+20}{7}}{2}\\\\C = \frac{34}{(7)(2)}\\\\C = \frac{17}{7}\\$

<u>C = 2.43</u>
