Part (a): Velocity of the snowball
By conservation of momentu;
m1v1 + m2v2 = m3v3,
Where, m1 = mass of snowball, v1, velocity of snowball, m2 = mass of the hat, v2 = velocity of the hat, m3 = mass of snowball and the hat, v3 = velocity of snowball and the hut.
v2 = 0, and therefore,
85*v1 + 0 = 220*8 => v1 = 220*8/85 = 20.71 m/s
Part (b): Horizontal range
x = v3*t
But,
y = vy -1/2gt^2, but y = -1.5 m (moving down), vy =0 (no vertical velocity), g = 9.81 m/s^2
Substituting;
-1.5 = 0 - 1/2*9.81*t^2
1.5 = 4.905*t^2
t = Sqrt (1.5/4.905) = 0.553 seconds
Then,
x = 8*0.553 = 4.424 m
Explanation:
The magnetic needle of a compass lines up with Earth's magnetic poles.
Brown dwarf is the first box
White dwarf is the second box
Black dwarf is the third box
Red giant is the fourth box
And
Black hole is the last box
