A 3 kg bowling ball is thrown onto a mattress. If it takes 0.3 seconds to stop the ball using a force of 24 N, what was the init

enyata [817]

Answer:

-24 m/s

Explanation:

mass of the bowling ball = 3 kg

time (t) = 0.3 seconds

Force = 24 N

initial velocity u = ???

We know that;

Force = mass × acceleration (a)

So;

24 = 3 × a

a = 24/3

a = 8 m/s²

Also;

From equation of motion; acceleration is given by the relation;

$a =\frac{v-u}{t}$

if v = 0

then ;

$8 = \frac{0-u}{0.3}$

24 = 0- u

u = -24 m/s

Thus; the initial velocity of the bowling ball when it first touched the mattress = -24 m/s

Light enters water from air at an angle of 25° with the normal, Θ1. If water has an index of refraction of 1.33, determine Θ2.

vladimir1956 [14]

By Snell's law:

η = sini / sinr. i = 25, η = 1.33

1.33 = sin25° / sinr

sinr = sin25° / 1.33 = 0.4226/1.33 = 0.3177 Use a calculator.

r = sin⁻¹(0.3177)

r ≈ 18.52°

Option A.

God's grace.

A 1300 kg car moving at 20 m/s and a 900 kg car moving at 15 m/s in precisely oppositedirections participate in a head-on crash.

miskamm [114]

Given

Car 1

m1 = 1300 kg

v1 = 20 m/s

m2 = 900 kg

v2 = -15 m/s

(Negative sign shows that direction of car 2 is opposite to car 1)

Procedure

As per the conservation of linear momentum, "The total momentum of the system before the collision must be equal to the total momentum after the collision". And this applies to the perfectly inelastic collision as well. Then the expression is,

$\begin{gathered} m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v \\ v=\frac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2}{m_1+m_2} \\ v=\frac{1300\operatorname{kg}\cdot20m/s-900\operatorname{kg}\cdot15m/s}{1300\operatorname{kg}+900\operatorname{kg}} \\ v=5.681m/s \end{gathered}$

Thus, we can conclude that the speed and direction of the cars after the impact is 5.68 m/s towards the first car.
