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.

The motion of a piston in an auto engine is simple harmonic. If the piston travels back and forth over a distance of 10 cm and t

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

Maximum force will be 29040 N

Explanation:

We have given mass of the piston m = 1.5 kg

Amplitude A = 10 cm = 0.1 m

Angular speed $\omega =4200rpm=\frac{2\times 3.14\times 4200}{60}=440rad/sec$

We know that angular speed is given by $\omega =\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$

$440=\sqrt{\frac{k}{1.5}}$

Squaring both side

$193600=\frac{k}{1.5}$

k = 290400 N/m

Now force is given by $F=kA=290400\times 0.1=29040N$

Wall-E the robot is resting when he randomly explodes into two pieces that fly off in opposite directions. His head has a mass o

Brut [27]

Answer:

<em>The body flies off to the left at 9.1 m/s</em>

Explanation:

<u>Law Of Conservation Of Linear Momentum </u>

It states the total momentum of a system of bodies is conserved unless an external force is applied to it. The formula for the momentum of a body with mass m and speed v is

P=mv.

If we have a system of bodies, then the total momentum is the sum of the individual momentums:

$P=m_1v_1+m_2v_2+...+m_nv_n$

If a collision occurs and the velocities change to v', the final momentum is:

$P'=m_1v'_1+m_2v'_2+...+m_nv'_n$

Since the total momentum is conserved, then:

P = P'

In a system of two masses, the equation simplifies to:

$m_1v_1+m_2v_2=m_1v'_1+m_2v'_2\qquad\qquad[1]$

Wall-E robot is initially at rest, its two parts together. His head has a mass of m1=0.75 kg and his body has a mass of m2=6.2 kg. Both parts have initial speeds of zero v1=v2=0.

After the explosion, his head flies off to the right at v1'=75 m/s. We are required to find the speed of his body v2'. Solving [1] for v2':

$\displaystyle v'_2=\frac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2-m_1v'_1}{m_2}$

Substituting values:

$\displaystyle v'_2=\frac{0.75*0+6.2*0-0.75*75}{6.2}$

$\displaystyle v'_2=-9.1 \ m/s$

The body flies off to the left at 9.1 m/s

A child bounces a 51 g superball on the sidewalk. The velocity change of the super bowl is from 22 m/s downward to 14 m/s upward

noname [10]

Answer:

$F=1.02x10^{-3} N$

Explanation:

From the exercise we know:

$m=51g*\frac{1kg}{1000g}=0.051kg$

$v_{1}=-22m/s$

$v_{2}=14m/s$

$t_{2}-t_{1}=1800s$

So, the average acceleration is:

$a=\frac{v_{2}-v_{1}}{t_{2}-t_{1}}=\frac{(14-(-22))m/s}{1800s}=0.02m/s^2$

The average force is:

$F=m*a=(0.051kg)(0.02m/s^2)=1.02x10^{-3} N$

An astronaut landed on a far away planet that has a sea of water. To determine the gravitational acceleration on the planet's su

ra1l [238]

Answer:

Acceleration due to gravity will be $g=17.3m/sec^2$

Explanation:

We have given gauge pressure P = 3.8 atm = 3.8×101325 = 385035 Pa

Depth h = 24.3 m

Density $\rho =1000kg/m^3$

We have find the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of planet

We know that pressure is given by

$P=\rho gh$

So $385035=1000\times g\times 24.3$

$g=17.3m/sec^2$

Acceleration due to gravity will be $g=17.3m/sec^2$
