When a golfer tees off, the head of her golf club which has a mass of 158 g is traveling 48.2 m/s just before it strikes a 46.0

g golf ball at rest on a tee. Immediately after the collision, the club head continues to travel in the same direction but at a reduced speed of 32.7 m/s. Neglect the mass of the club handle and determine the speed of the golf ball just after impact.

Answer:

v₂ = 53.23 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of a golf club, m₁ = 158 g = 0.158 kg

The initial speed of a golf club, u₁ = 48.2 m/s

The mass of a golf ball, m₂ = 46 g = 0.046 kg

It was at rest, u₂ = 0

Immediately after the collision, the club head continues to travel in the same direction but at a reduced speed of 32.7 m/s, v₁ = 32.7 m/s

We use the conservation of energy to find the speed of the golf ball just after impact as follows :

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2\\\\v_2=\dfrac{m_1u_1-m_1v_1}{m_2}\\\\v_2=\dfrac{0.158(48.2)-0.158(32.7)}{0.046}\\\\=53.23\ m/s$

So, the speed of the golf ball just after the impact is equal to 53.23 m/s.

A car of mass 2400kg moving at 20 m/s slams into a cement wall and comes to a halt?

Brut [27]

Impulse = change in momentum

The car's momentum was (mass) x (speed)

Momentum = (2400 kg) x (20 m/s)

Momentum = 48,000 km-m/s

To completely stop the car, the impulse = -48,000 km-m/s .

A cyclist going downhill is accelerating at 1. 2 m/s2. If the final velocity of the cyclist is 16 m/s after 10 seconds, what is

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf v_i= 4 \ m/s}}$

Explanation:

We are asked to find the cyclist's initial velocity. We are given the acceleration, final velocity, and time, so we will use the following kinematic equation.

$v_f= v_i + at$

The cyclist is acceleration at 1.2 meters per second squared. After 10 seconds, the velocity is 16 meters per second.

$v_f$ = 16 m/s
a= 1.2 m/s²
t= 10 s

Substitute the values into the formula.

$16 \ m/s = v_i + (1.2 \ m/s^2)(10 \ s)$

Multiply.

$16 \ m/s = v_i + (1.2 \ m/s^2 * 10 \ s)$

$16 \ m/s = v_i + 12 \ m/s$

We are solving for the initial velocity, so we must isolate the variable $v_i$ . Subtract 12 meters per second from both sides of the equation.

$16 \ m/s - 12 \ m/s = v_i + 12 \ m/s -12 \ m/s$

$4 \ m/s = v_i$

The cyclist's initial velocity is <u>4 meters per second.</u>

Imagine an alternate universe where the value of the Planck constant is . In that universe, which of the following objects would

HACTEHA [7]

Question: The planck constant was not given. In this calculation, planck constant of 6.62607*10^-9 Js is used for the calculation.

Answer:

(a) A virus -------------Classical

(b) A buckyball -----Classical

(c) A mosquito ------ Quantum

(d) A turtle ------------Quantum

Explanation:

Calculating the wavelength using the formula;

λ= h/(mv)

where

λ= Wavelength

h = Planck Constant = 6.62607*10^-9 Js

m = mass in kg

v = velocity in m/s

Virus size = 280. nm = 2.80*10⁻⁷ m

a)

A Virus:

m = 9.4 x 10-17 g 9.4*10⁻²⁰ kg

v = 0.50 µm/s = 5 *10⁻⁷ m/s

h = 6.62607*10^-9 Js

Virus size = 280 nm = 2.80*10⁻⁷ m

Substituting into the formula; we have

λ= h/(mv)

λ= 6.62607*10^-9/ (9.4*10⁻²⁰* 5 *10⁻⁷)

= 6.62607*10^-9/4.7*10^-26

= 1.4*10^17 m

Classical : Wavelength is bigger than it's size

(b)

A buckyball

m = 1.2 x 10-21 g = 1.2 *10⁻²⁴ kg

V = 37 m/s

Size = 0.7 nm = 7*10⁻¹⁰ m

Substituting into the formula, we have

λ= h/(mv)

λ= 6.62607*10^-9/ ( 1.2 *10⁻²⁴* 37)

= 6.62607*10^-9/4.44*10^-23

= 1.49 *10^14 m

Classical : Wavelength is bigger than it's size

(c)

A mosquito

Mass = 1.0 mg = 1*10⁻⁶ kg

v = 1.1 m/s

Size = 6.3 mm = 6.3*10⁻³ m

Substituting into the formula, we have

λ= h/(mv)

λ= 6.62607*10^-9/ ( 1*10⁻⁶* 1.1)

= 6.62607*10^-9/1.1*10^-6

= 6.02*10^-3 m

Quantum Approach: The wavelength and the size are comparable

(d)

A turtle

Mass = 710. g = 0.71 kg

Size = 22. cm = 0.22 m

V = 2.8 cm/s. = 0.028 m/s

Substituting into the formula, we have

λ= h/(mv)

λ= 6.62607*10^-9/ ( 0.71* 0.028)

= 6.62607*10^-9/0.01988

= 3.33*10^-7 m

Quantum Approach: The wavelength and the size are comparable
