Answer:

$8.1\:\mathrm{Ns}$

Explanation:

The impulse-momentum theorem gives the impulse on an object to be equal to the change in momentum of that object. Since mass is maintained, the change in momentum of the basketball is:

$\Delta p = m\Delta v$ , where $m$ is the mass of the basketball and $\Delta v$ is the change in velocity.

Since the basketball is changing direction, its total change in velocity is:

$\Delta v = 20-(-15)=35\:\mathrm{m/s}$ .

Therefore, the basketball's change in momentum is:

$\Delta p = m\Delta v = 0.23\cdot 35= 8.05=8.1\:\mathrm{kg\cdot m/s}$ .

Thus, the impulse on the basketball is $\fbox{$8.1\:\mathrm{Ns}$}$ (two significant figures).

Water moves through a constricted pipe in steady, ideal flow. At the

Irina-Kira [14]

A) Speed in the lower section: 0.638 m/s

B) Speed in the higher section: 2.55 m/s

C) Volume flow rate: $1.8\cdot 10^{-3} m^3/s$

Explanation:

A)

To solve the problem, we can use Bernoulli's equation, which states that

$p_1 + \rho g h_1 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2 = p_2 + \rho g h_2 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2$

where

$p_1=1.75\cdot 10^4 Pa$ is the pressure in the lower section of the tube

$h_1 = 0$ is the heigth of the lower section

$\rho=1000 kg/m^3$ is the density of water

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

$v_1$ is the speed of the water in the lower pipe

$p_2$ is the pressure in the higher section

$h_2 = 0.250 m$ is the height in the higher pipe

$v_2$ is hte speed in the higher section

We can re-write the equation as

$v_1^2-v_2^2=\frac{2(p_2-p_1)+\rho g h_2}{\rho}$ (1)

Also we can use the continuity equation, which state that the volume flow rate is constant:

$A_1 v_1 = A_2 v_2$

where

$A_1 = \pi r_1^2$ is the cross-section of the lower pipe, with

$r_1 = 3.00 cm =0.03 m$ is the radius of the lower pipe (half the diameter)

$A_2 = \pi r_2^2$ is the cross-section of the higher pipe, with

$r_2 = 1.50 cm = 0.015 m$ (radius of the higher pipe)

So we get

$r_1^2 v_1 = r_2^2 v_2$

And so

$v_2 = \frac{r_1^2}{r_2^2}v_1$ (2)

Substituting into (1), we find the speed in the lower section:

$v_1^2-(\frac{r_1^2}{r_2^2})^2v_1^2=\frac{2(p_2-p_1)+\rho g h_2}{\rho}\\v_1=\sqrt{\frac{2(p_2-p_1+\rho g h_2)}{\rho(1-\frac{r_1^4}{r_2^4})}}=0.638 m/s$

B)

Now we can use equation (2) to find the speed in the lower section:

$v_2 = \frac{r_1^2}{r_2^2}v_1$

Substituting

v1 = 0.775 m/s

And the values of the radii, we find:

$v_2=\frac{0.03^2}{0.015^2}(0.638)=2.55 m/s$

C)

The volume flow rate of the water passing through the pipe is given by

$V=Av$

where

A is the cross-sectional area

v is the speed of the water

We can take any point along the pipe since the volume flow rate is constant, so

$r_1=0.03 cm$

$v_1=0.638 m/s$

Therefore, the volume flow rate is

$V=\pi r_1^2 v_1 = \pi (0.03)^2 (0.638)=1.8\cdot 10^{-3} m^3/s$

2. A 55 kg woman has a momentum of 200 kg m/s. What is her velocity?

NeTakaya

Answer:

$\boxed {\tt 3.63636364 \ m/s}$

Explanation:

Velocity can be found using the following formula:

$v=\frac{p}{m}$

where p is the momentum and m is the mass.

The woman has a mass of 55 kilograms and a momentum of 200 kilogram meters per second.

$p= 200 \ kgm/s\\m=55 \ kg$

Substitute the values into the formula.

$v=\frac{200 \ kg m/s}{55 \ kg}$

Divide. Note that the kilograms, or kg, will cancel each other out.

$v=\frac{200 \ m/s}{55}$

$v= 3.63636364 \ m/s$

The woman's velocity is 3.63636364 meters per second.
