A racquetball strikes a wall with a speed of 30 m/s and rebounds in the opposite direction with a speed of 26 m/s. The collision

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

The average acceleration of the ball during the collision with the wall is $a=2,800m/s^{2}$

Explanation:

Known Data

We will asume initial speed has a negative direction, $v_{i}=-30m/s$ , final speed has a positive direction, $v_{f}=26m/s$ , $\Delta t=20ms=0.020s$ and mass $m_{b}$ .

Initial momentum

$p_{i}=mv_{i}=(-30m/s)(m_{b})=-30m_{b}\ m/s$

final momentum

$p_{f}=mv_{f}=(26m/s)(m_{b})=26m_{b}\ m/s$

Impulse

$I=\Delta p=p_{f}-p_{i}=26m_{b}\ m/s-(-30m_{b}\ m/s)=56m_{b}\ m/s$

Average Force

$F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t} =\frac{56m_{b}\ m/s}{0.020s} =2800m_{b} \ m/s^{2}$

Average acceleration

$F=ma$ , so $a=\frac{F}{m_{b}}$ .

Therefore, $a=\frac{2800m_{b} \ m/s^{2}}{m_{b}} =2800m/s^{2}$

An object of mass m = 5.0 kg hangs from a cord around a light pulley: The length of the cord between the oscillator and the pull

puteri [66]

Answer:

$\mu=0.0049Kg/m$

Explanation:

When a standing wave is formed with six loops means the normal mode of the wave is n=6, the frequency of the normal mode is given by the expression:

$f_n=\frac{nv}{2L}$

Where $L$ is the length of the string and $v$ the velocity of propagation. Use this expression to find the value of $v$ .

$f_6=\frac{6v}{2L}\\(150)=\frac{6v}{2(2)} \\150=\frac{3v}{2} \\3v=150(2)\\ v=\frac{300}{3} \\v=100m/s$

The velocity of propagation is given by the expression:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu }$

Where $\mu$ is the desirable variable of the problem, the linear mass density, and $T$ is the tension of the cord. The tension is equal to the weight of the mass hanging from the cord:
