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

Answer:

130m

Explanation:

You just have to multiply velocity by the time traveled:

100m/s * 1.3s = 130m!

A blue ball is thrown upward with an initial speed of 23.9 m/s, from a height of 0.8 meters above the ground. 2.9 seconds after
murzikaleks [220]
<span>At the exact instant the blue ball reaches maximum height, it is stationary for that millisecond in time before it begins to fall, therefore its speed is zero. (The other factors listed have no effect on the speed at the moment of maximum height.)</span>
