You are pushing a box up a ramp with 70 N of force. If the ramp is made steeper and shorter, what needs to happen to the box for

(a) +9.30 kg m/s
The impulse exerted on an object is equal to its change in momentum:
where
m is the mass of the object
is the change in velocity of the object, with
v = final velocity
u = initial velocity
For the volleyball in this problem:
m = 0.272 kg
u = -12.6 m/s
v = +21.6 m/s
So the impulse is
(b) 155 N
The impulse can also be rewritten as
where
F is the force exerted on the volleyball (which is equal and opposite to the force exerted by the volleyball on the fist of the player, according to Newton's third law)
is the duration of the collision
In this situation, we have
So we can re-arrange the equation to find the magnitude of the average force:
Given parameters:
Mass on earth = 50kg
Unknown:
Mass on planet Xenon = ?
Weight on planet Xenon = ?
Mass is the amount of matter contained in a particular substance.
Weight is the force on a body and it is derived from the product of mass and acceleration due to gravity.
Weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity
Planet Xenon has half the gravitational force of Earth.
This translated gives = 4.9m/s²
Now, mass is always the same every where if the amount of matter in a substance does not change.
In this problem, mass = 50kg on planet xenon.
Weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity = 50 x 4.9 = 245N
The weight on Xenon is 245N and the mass is 50kg
