Answer:

m v = M V conservation of momentum after throwing camera

V = m * v / M = .928 * 12 / 60.9 = .183 m/s

t = S / V = 36.5 / .183 = 199 sec = 3.32 min

An object with velocity 141 ft/s has a kinetic energy of 1558.71 ftâˆ™lbf, on a planet whose gravity is 31.5 ft/s2. What is its

Answer:

The mass of the object is 5.045 lbm.

Explanation:

Given;

kinetic energy of the object, K.E = 1558.71 ft.lbf

velocity of the object, V = 141 ft/s

The kinetic energy of the object is calculated as;

$K.E = \frac{1}{2} mV^2\\\\mV^2 = 2K.E\\\\m = \frac{2K.E}{V^2} \\\\1 \ lbf = 32.174 \ lbm.ft/s^2\\\\m = \frac{2 \ \times \ 1558.71 \ ft.lbf \ \times \ 32.174 \ lbm.ft/s^2 }{(141 \ ft/s)2 \ \ \times \ \ \ \ 1 \ lbf\ }$

$m = \frac{(2 \ \times \ 1558.71 \ \times \ 32.174) \ lbm.ft^2/s^2 }{(141 )^2\ ft^2/s^2 }\\\\m = \frac{(2 \ \times \ 1558.71 \ \times \ 32.174) \ lbm }{(141 )^2 }\\\\m = 5.045 \ lbm$
