Olaf is standing on a sheet of ice that covers the football stadium parking lot in Buffalo, New York; there is negligible fricti

on between his feet and the ice. A friend throws Olaf a ball of mass 0.400 kg that is traveling horizontally at 11.3 m/s. Olaf's mass is 75.0 kg. (a) If Olaf catches the ball, with what speed v_f do Olaf and the ball move afterward

Answer:

v = 0.059 m/s

Explanation:

To find the final speed of Olaf and the ball you use the conservation momentum law. The momentum of Olaf and the ball before catches the ball is the same of the momentum of Olaf and the ball after. Then, you have:

mv_{1i}+Mv_{2i}=(m+M)v  (1)

m: mass of the ball = 0.400kg

M: mass of Olaf = 75.0 kg

v1i: initial velocity of the ball = 11.3m/s

v2i: initial velocity of Olaf = 0m/s

v: final velocity of Olaf and the ball

You solve the equation (1) for v and replace the values of all variables:

v=\frac{mv_{1i}}{m+M}=\frac{(0.400kg)(11.3m/s)}{0.400kg+75.0kg}=0.059\frac{m}{s}

Hence, after Olaf catches the ball, the velocity of Olaf and the ball is 0.059m/s

Strong nuclear force

Explanation:

The particles in the atom's nucleus bond together because there is a strong nuclear force between the protons and neutrons that attracts them to each other and binds together the nucleus.

Anika [276]
No, gravity acts equally on all objects.  The crumpled paper falls faster because it resists the drag force due to the atmosphere because of its compact size.  A flat piece of paper has an extended body and "catches" the air and falls more slowly.  In a vacuum they would fall at the same rate either way.
