A 45.0 kg ice skater stands at rest on the ice. A friend tosses the skater a 5.0 kg ball. The skater and the ball then move back

wards across the ice with a speed of 0.5 m/s. What was the speed of the ball at the moment just before the skater caught it?

Answer:

u = 5 m/s

Explanation:

given,

Mass of ice skater, M = 45 Kg

initial speed = 0 m/s

mass of the ball, m = 5 Kg

velocity of skater and the ball,V = 0.5 m/s

speed of the ball = ?

using conservation of momentum

m u + M u' =( M + m ) V

initial speed of ice skater is zero

5 x u + 45 x 0 =( 45 + 5 ) V

5 u = 50 x 0.5

5 u = 25

u = 5 m/s

hence, the speed of the ball is equal to 5 m/s

Answer:

The initial velocity is 38.46 m/s.

Explanation:

The horizontal distance travel by the tennis ball = 13 m  

The height at which the tennis ball dropped = 56 cm

Now calculate the initial speed of tennis ball.

The vertical velocity is zero.

Below is the calculation. Here, first convert centimetre into kilometre. So, height at which ball dropped is 0.56 km.

v = \sqrt{2 \times 9.8 \times 0.56} = 3.32 m/s \\

t = \frac{3.32}{9.8} = 0.338s \\

Ux \times t = 13 \\

Ux = \frac{13}{0.338} = 38.46 m/s = Initial velocity.

The United States spends over $20 billion a year on space exploration through NASA. Do you think that this has been worth the co
-BARSIC- [3]

Sunday, July 20, marked 45 years since the United States put the first two astronauts safely on the moon. The cost for the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programs was more than $25 billion at the time more like $110 billion in today’s world. The ensuing U.S. space efforts have cost an additional $196 billion for the shuttle and $50 billion for the space station. NASA’s total inflation-adjusted costs have been more than $900 billion since its creation in 1958 through 2014 (more than $16 billion per year). Looking back, have we gotten our money’s worth from the investment?
