Answer:

$313.92\ \text{m/s}$

$47.088\ \text{kg m/s}$

Explanation:

m = Mass of ball = 150 g

$\theta$ = Angle of kick = $60^{\circ}$

$x$ = Displacement of ball in x direction = 12 m

Range of projectile is given by

$x=\dfrac{u\sin^2\theta}{2g}\\\Rightarrow u=\dfrac{2xg}{\sin^2\theta}\\\Rightarrow u=\dfrac{2\times 12\times 9.81}{\sin^260^{\circ}}\\\Rightarrow u=313.92\ \text{m/s}$

The velocity of the ball instantly after the man kicks the ball is $313.92\ \text{m/s}$

Impulse is given by

$J=mu\\\Rightarrow J=0.15\times 313.92\\\Rightarrow J=47.088\ \text{kg m/s}$

The impulse of his foot on the ball is $47.088\ \text{kg m/s}$ .

Answer:

The angle introduces an error on the mesure of the weight

Explanation:

Weight and Normal Forces

When an object is resting on a horizontal surface, its weight is directed downwards and the normal force has the same magnitude and opposite direction, i.e. directed upwards. When some angle α exists between the surface and the horizontal plane, the scale keeps 'feeling' the Normal force, but it's not equal to the weight anymore, but to the perpendicular component of the weight to the surface where the scale is placed. It can be found that the component of the weight is m.g.cosα

If, for example $\alpha=10^o$ , the real measure is
