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).

Object 1 has a mass of 3m and is moving to the right at a velocity of
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

In a collision, the velocity change is always computed by subtracting the initial velocity value from the final velocity value. If an object is moving in one direction before a collision and rebounds or somehow changes direction, then its velocity after the collision has the opposite direction as before.

Helium (density 0.18 kg/m^3 at 0°C and 1 atm pressure) remains a gas until the extraordinarily low temperature of 4.2 K.What is
balu736 [363]

Answer:

166.6396m/sec

Explanation:

Molar mass of helium = 4\times 10^{-3}kg/mole

\gamma for helium is 1.67

The velocity of helium in sound at any temperature is given by v=\sqrt{\frac{\gamma RT}{M}}=\sqrt{\frac{1.67\times 8.314\times 8}{4\times 10^{-3}}}=166.6396m/sec

R is a constant 8.314 atm\ mol^{-1}K^{-1}
