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 sled is slowing down at the bottom of a snowy hill.

Kitty [74]

Answer:

A sled and its rider are moving at a speed of along a horizontal stretch of snow, as Figure 4.24a illustrates. The snow exerts a kinetic frictional force on the runners of the sled, so the sled slows down and eventually comes to a stop. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.050. What is the displacement x of the sled?

A disk has a radius of 30 cm and a mass of 0.3 kg and is turning at 3.0 rev/s. A trickle of sand falls onto the disk at a distan

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

The mass of the sand that will fall on the disk to decrease the is 0.3375 kg

Explanation:

Moment before = Moment after

$I \omega_i = I \omega_f +mr^2 \omega_f\\\\mr^2 \omega_f = I \omega_i - I \omega_f \\\\m = \frac{ I \omega_i - I \omega_f}{r^2 \omega_f }$

where;

I is moment of inertia = Mr² = 0.3 x (0.3)² = 0.027 kg.m²

substitute this in the above equation;

$m = \frac{ 0.027[3(2 \pi) - 2(2 \pi)]} {0.2^2 * 6\pi } = \frac{ 0.027[6 \pi - 4\pi]} {0.2^2 * 4\pi }\\\\m = 0.3375kg$

Therefore, the mass of the sand that will fall on the disk to decrease the is 0.3375 kg

Taya2010 [7]

Answer: The magnitude of the current in the second wire 2.67A

Explanation:

Here is the complete question:

Two straight parallel wires are separated by 7.0 cm. There is a 2.0-A current flowing in the first wire. If the magnetic field strength is found to be zero between the two wires at a distance of 3.0 cm from the first wire, what is the magnitude of the current in the second wire?

The drawing shows an adiabatically isolated cylinder that is divided initially into two identical parts by an adiabatic partitio

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

temperature on left side is 1.48 times the temperature on right

Explanation:

GIVEN DATA:

$\gamma = 5/3$

T1 = 525 K

T2 = 275 K

We know that

$P_1 = \frac{nRT_1}{v}$

$P_2 = \frac{nrT_2}{v}$

n and v remain same at both side. so we have

$\frac{P_1}{P_2} = \frac{T_1}{T_2} = \frac{525}{275} = \frac{21}{11}$

$P_1 = \frac{21}{11} P_2$ ..............1

let final pressure is P and temp $T_1 {f} and T_2 {f}$

$P_1^{1-\gamma} T_1^{\gamma} = P^{1 - \gamma}T_1 {f}^{\gamma}$

$P_1^{-2/3} T_1^{5/3} = P^{-2/3} T_1 {f}^{5/3}$ ..................2

similarly

$P_2^{-2/3} T_2^{5/3} = P^{-2/3} T_2 {f}^{5/3}$ .............3

divide 2 equation by 3rd equation

$\frac{21}{11}^{-2/3} \frac{21}{11}^{5/3} = [\frac{T_1 {f}}{T_2 {f}}]^{5/3}$

$T_1 {f} = 1.48 T_2 {f}$

thus, temperature on left side is 1.48 times the temperature on right
