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

A spherical Christmas tree ornament is 8.00 cm in diameter. What is the magnification of an object placed 12.0 cm away from the
LiRa [457]

The magnification of the ornament is 0.25

To calculate the magnification of the ornament, first, we need to find the image distance.

Formula:

  • 1/f = u⁻¹+v⁻¹.................... Equation 1

Where:

  • f = Focal length of the ornament
  • u = image distance
  • v = object distance.

make u the subject of the equation

  • u = fv/(f+v)................ Equation 2

From the question,

Given:

  • f = 8/2 = 4 cm
  • v = 12 cm

Substitute these values into equation 2

  • u = (12×4)/(12+4)
  • u = 48/16
  • u = 3 cm.

Finally, to get the magnification of the ornament, we use the formula below.

  • M = u/v.................. Equation 3

Where

  • M = magnification of the ornament.

Substitute these values above into equation 3

  • M = 3/12
  • M = 0.25.

Hence, The magnification of the ornament is 0.25

A car accelerates uniformly in a straight line
erik [133]

Answer:

21.59 m/s

Explanation:

recall that one of the equations of motions can be expressed as

v² = u² + 2as

where,

v = final velocity (we are asked to find this)

u = initial velocity = 0m/s (because it says that it starts from rest)

a = acceleration = 3.7m/s²

s = distance travelled = 63 m

simply substitute the known values above into the equation:

v² = u² + 2as

v² = 0² + 2(3.7)(63)

v² = 466.2

v = √466.2

v = 21.59 m/s
