During a circus act, an elderly performer thrills the crowd by catching a cannon ball shot at him. The cannon ball has a mass of

72.0 kg and its horizontal component of velocity is 6.50 m/s just before the 65.0 kg performer catches it. If the performer is initially motionless on nearly frictionless roller skates, what is his speed immediately after catching the cannon ball

Answer:

3.416 m/s

Explanation:

Given that:

mass of cannonball m_A = 72.0 kg

mass of performer m_B = 65.0 kg

The horizontal component of the ball initially \mu_{xA} = 6.50 m/s

the final velocity of the combined system v = ????

By applying the linear momentum of conservation:

m_A \mu_{xA}+m_B \mu_{xB} = (m_A+m_B) v

72.0 \ kg \times 6.50 \ m/s+65.0 \ kg \times 0 = (72.0 \ kg+65.0 \ kg) v

468 kg m/s + 0 = (137 kg)v

v = \dfrac{468\  kg m/s }{137 \ kg}

v = 3.416 m/s

A 5.00 kilogram mass is traveling at 100. meters per second. Determine the speed of the mass after an impulse with a magnitude o
faltersainse [42]

m = mass = 5 kg

v_{i} = initial velocity = 100 m/s

v_{f} = final velocity = ?

I = impulse = 30 Ns

Using the impulse-change in momentum equation

I = m(v_{f} - v_{i})

30 = 5 (v_{f} - 100)

v_{f} = 106 m/s

Two ice skaters stand together. They push off and travel directly away from each other, the boy with a velocity of v = +0.35 m/s
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

-0.55m/s

Explanation:

Given that: For the boy

Weight = 745N

Velocity = +0.35 m/s

Mass of the boy = ?

g = 9.81m/s^2

W = mg

745 = m×9.81

m = 75.94kg

For the girl

Given that:

Weight = 477 N

g = 9.81m/s^2

m = ?

W = mg

477 = m×9.81m/s^2

m = 48.62kg

To solve for the v of the girl, the two has to add up

48.62kg×v + 75.94kg×+0.35 m/s = 0

48.62v + 26.579 = 0

48.62v = - 26.579

v = -26.579/48.62

v = -0.5466

v = -0.55m/s

Hence, the velocity of the girl is -0.55m/s.

The negative sign is as a result of the two of them moving is opposite direction.
