An 80-kg quarterback jumps straight up in the air right before throwing a 0.43-kg football horizontally at 15 m/s . Suppose that

the quarterback takes 0.30 s to return to the ground after throwing the ball. How far d will he move horizontally, assuming his speed is constant?

Answer:

0.0241875 m

Explanation:

m_1 = Mass of quarterback = 80 kg

m_2 = Mass of football = 0.43 kg

v_1 = Velocity of quarterback

v_2 = Velocity of football = 15 m/s

Time taken = 0.3 seconds

In this system as the linear momentum is conserved

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=0\\\Rightarrow v_1=-\frac{m_2v_2}{m_1}\\\Rightarrow v_1=-\frac{0.43\times 15}{80}\\\Rightarrow v_1=0.080625\ m/s

Assuming this velocity is constant

Distance=Velocity\times Time\\\Rightarrow Distance=0.080625\times 0.3\\\Rightarrow Distance=0.0241875\ m

The distance the quarterback will move in the horizontal direction is 0.0241875 m

Margaret wants to go for a swim, and decides to jump in using the diving board that measures 3-m long.
otez555 [7]

Answer:

The horizontal component of her velocity is approximately 1.389 m/s

The vertical component of her velocity is approximately 7.878 m/s

Explanation:

The given question parameters are;

The initial velocity with which Margaret leaps, v = 8.0 m/s

The angle to the horizontal with which she jumps, θ = 80° to the horizontal

The horizontal component of her velocity, vₓ = v × cos(θ)

∴ vₓ = 8.0 × cos(80°) ≈ 1.389

The horizontal component of her velocity, vₓ ≈ 1.389 m/s

The vertical component of her velocity, v_y = v × sin(θ)

∴ v_y = 8.0 × sin(80°) ≈ 7.878

The vertical component of her velocity, v_y ≈ 7.878 m/s.

A 91-kg astronaut and a 1300-kg satellite are at rest relative to the space shuttle. The astronaut pushes on the satellite, givi
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

18.2145 meters

Explanation:

Using the conservation of momentum, we have that:

m1v1 + m2v2 = m1'v1' + m2'v2'

m1 = m1' is the mass of the astronaut, m2=m2' is the mass of the satellite, v1 and v2 are the inicial speed of the astronaut and the satellite (v1 = v2 = 0), and v1' and v2' are the final speed of the astronaut and the satellite. Then we have that:

0 + 0 = 91*v1' + 1300*0.17

v1' = -1300*0.17/91 = -2.4286\ m/s

The negative sign of this speed just indicates the direction the astronaut goes, which is the opposite direction of the satellite.

If the astronaut takes 7.5 seconds to come into contact with the shuttle, their initial distance is:

distance = 2.4286 * 7.5 = 18.2145\ meters

what would the mass be of an object that was moving at a velocity of 35 m/s and has a kinetic energy of 500j be?
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

0.816 kg

Explanation:

E_k=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}\\

so m=\frac{2E_k}{v^2}=\frac{2\times500}{35^2}=0.816 kg
