Part (a): Velocity of the snowball
By conservation of momentu;
m1v1 + m2v2 = m3v3,
Where, m1 = mass of snowball, v1, velocity of snowball, m2 = mass of the hat, v2 = velocity of the hat, m3 = mass of snowball and the hat, v3 = velocity of snowball and the hut.
v2 = 0, and therefore,
85*v1 + 0 = 220*8 => v1 = 220*8/85 = 20.71 m/s
Part (b): Horizontal range
x = v3*t
But,
y = vy -1/2gt^2, but y = -1.5 m (moving down), vy =0 (no vertical velocity), g = 9.81 m/s^2
Substituting;
-1.5 = 0 - 1/2*9.81*t^2
1.5 = 4.905*t^2
t = Sqrt (1.5/4.905) = 0.553 seconds
Then,
x = 8*0.553 = 4.424 m
Answer: The velocity of the ball is 30.0 m/s
This can be calculated by using the value of acceleration as 10.0 m/s2 in free fall and the given time of 3.0 seconds. To get the
velocity, one will have to multiply the acceleration with the given time and the
quotient would result to 30.0 m/s. Mostly all object regardless of their mass,
fall to earth with the same acceleration in the absence of air resistance and as
the child drops the ball from a window, it gains speed as it falls.
Answer:
Energy required = 3169.34 Joules.
Explanation:
The quantity of energy (Q) required can be determined by;
Q = mcΔθ
Where: m is the mass, c is the specific heat and Δθ is the change in temperature.
But, m = 96.7 kg, c = 0.874 J/(kg
), 
= 
and 
= 
.
So that,
Q = mc( - )
= 96.7 x 0.874 x ( - )
= 96.7 x 0.874 x 37.5
= 3169.3425
Q = 3169.34
= 3.2 KJ
The amount of energy required is 3169.34 Joules.
Answer:
Mass of car = 1098 kg
Explanation:
Here law of conservation of momentum is applied.
Let mass of car be m.
Initial momentum = Final momentum.
Initial momentum = 4350 x 7.39 + m x 0 = 32416.5 kgm/s
Final momentum = 4350 x 4.55 + m x 11.5 = 19792.5+11.5m
We have
19792.5+11.5m = 32416.5
m = 1097.97 kg
Mass of car = 1098 kg
