A skater of mass 40 kg is carrying a box of mass 5 kg. The skater has a speed of 5 m/s with respect to the floor and is gliding

without any friction on a smooth surface. a. Find the momentum of the box with respect to the floor. b. Find the momentum of the box with respect to the floor after she puts the box down on the frictionless skating surface.

For the part a) we need only the momentum of the box and we have the data to find it.

Momentum is given by,

p=mv

where clearly, p is the momentum, m the mass of the box and v is the velocity.

Substituting,

p=(5kg)(5m/s)\\p=25kg.m/s

For part b) we need an analysis of the situation. We understand that the box on a surface that has no friction will continue to rotate at the same speed previously defined. The box can only stop with friction, so,

p=(5kg)(5m/s)\\p=25kg.m/s

<em>It is the same that part a)</em>

A marble rolls 269cm across the floor with a constant speed of in 44.1cm/s.
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

t = 6.09 seconds

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed, v = 44.1 cm/s

Distance, d = 269 cm

We need to find the time interval of the marble. Speed is distance per unit time.

v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\\implies t=\dfrac{d}{v}\\\\t=\dfrac{269\ \text{cm}}{44.1\ \text{cm/s}}\\\\t=6.09\ s

Hence, the time interval of the marble is 6.09 seconds.
