A child on a skateboard experiences a 75 N force with an acceleration of 1.5 m/s2.
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

The mass of the child + skateboard is 50 kg

Explanation:

In this problem, we can apply Newton's second law:

F = ma

where

F is the net force on a system

m is the mass of the system

a is the acceleration of the system

In this problem, our system is the child + the skateboard. The net force on them is

F = 75 N

and their acceleration is

a=1.5 m/s^2

So we can re-arrange the equation above to find their combined mass:

m=\frac{F}{a}=\frac{75}{1.5}=50 kg

Two steel balls, of masses m1=1.00 kg and m2=2.00 kg, respectively, are hung from the ceiling with light strings next to each ot
Zolol [24]

Answer:

(a) The maximum height achieved by the first ball, m₁ is 0.11 m

(a) The maximum height achieved by the second ball, m₂ ball is 0.44 m

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the first ball, m₁ = 1 kg

mass of the second ball, m₂ = 2 kg

The velocity of the first when released from a height of 1 m before collision;

u₁² = u₀² + 2gh

u₀ = 0, since it was released from rest

u₁² =  2gh

u₁² = 2 x 9.8 x 1

u₁² = 19.6

u₁ = √19.6

u₁ = 4.427 m/s

The velocity of the second ball before collision, u₂ = 0

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum, to determine the velocity of the balls after an elastic collision.

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

where;

v₁ is the final velocity of the first ball after an elastic collision

v₂ is the final velocity of the second ball after an elastic collision

m₁u₁ + m₂(0) = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

m₁u₁ =  m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

1 x 4.427 = v₁ + 2v₂

v₁ + 2v₂ = 4.427

v₁  = 4.427 - 2v₂  ----- equation (1)

one directional velocity;

u₁ + v₁ = u₂ + v₂

u₂ = 0

u₁ + v₁ = v₂

v₁ = v₂ - u₁

v₁ = v₂ - 4.427 ------ equation (2)

Substitute v₁ into equation (1)

v₂ - 4.427 = 4.427 - 2v₂

3v₂ = 4.427 + 4.427

3v₂  = 8.854

v₂ = 8.854 / 3

v₂  = 2.95 m/s (→ forward direction)

v₁ = v₂ - 4.427

v₁ = 2.95 - 4.427

v₁  = - 1.477 m/s

v₁  = 1.477 m/s ( ← backward direction)

Apply the law of conservation of mechanical energy

mgh_{max} = \frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2

(a) The maximum height achieved by the first ball (v₁  = 1.477 m/s)

mgh_{max} = \frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2 \\\\gh_{max} = \frac{1}{2}v_{max}^2\\\\ h_{max}  =  \frac{1}{2g}v_{max}^2\\\\ h_{max}  = \frac{1}{2*9.8}(1.477^2)\\\\ h_{max}  = 0.11 \ m

(b) The maximum height achieved by the second ball (v₂  = 2.95 m/s)

mgh_{max} = \frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2 \\\\gh_{max} = \frac{1}{2}v_{max}^2\\\\ h_{max}  =  \frac{1}{2g}v_{max}^2\\\\ h_{max}  = \frac{1}{2*9.8}(2.95^2)\\\\ h_{max}  = 0.44 \ m

Distinguish between friction force and motion?
Ksju [112]

Friction force is when you rub 2 things together and they get warm. Motion, on the other hand, is if your walking along the sidewalk - you hardly get warmer -------


Unless it's a colder day outside and you're walking SO you decide to rub your hands together to get warm, but if you were just walking , its motion and only motion - no friction :):)
