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.

When she rides her bike, she gets to her first classroom building 36 minutes faster than when she walks. Of her average walking

postnew [5]

Answer:

$d=2.4\ miles$

Explanation:

Given:

average walking speed, $v_w=3\ mph$

average biking speed, $v_b=12\ mph$

<u>According to given condition:</u>

$t_w=t_b+\frac{36}{60}$

where:

$t_w=$ time taken to reach the building by walking

$t_b=$ time taken to reach the building by biking

We know that,

$\rm time=\frac{distance}{speed}$

so,

$\frac{d}{v_w} =\frac{d}{v_b} +\frac{36}{60}$

$\frac{d}{3}=\frac{d}{12} +\frac{3}{5}$

$d=2.4\ miles$

A dock worker loading crates on a ship finds that a 27 kg crate, initially at rest on a horizontal surface, requires a 80 N hori

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:0.302

Explanation:

Given

mass of crate m=27 kg

Force required to set crate in motion is 80 N

Once the crate is set in motion 56 N is require to move it with constant velocity

i.e. 80 N is the amount of force needed to just overcome static friction and 56 is the kinetic friction force

thus

$f_s(static\ friction)=\mu \cdot N$

where $\mu$ is the coefficient of static friction and N is Normal reaction

$N=mg$

$f_s=\mu mg$

$\mu mg=80$

$\mu =\frac{80}{27\times 9.8}$

$\mu =0.302$

Projectile's horizontal range on level ground is R=v20sin2θ/g. At what launch angle or angles will the projectile land at half o

seraphim [82]

Answer:

$\theta = 15^o \: or\: 75^o$

Explanation:

As we know that the formula of range is given as

$R = \frac{v^2sin2\theta}{g}$

now we know that

maximum value of the range of the projectile is given as

$R_{max} = \frac{v^2}{g}$

now we need to find such angles for which the range is half the maximum value

so we will have

$\frac{R}{2} = \frac{v^2}{2g} = \frac{v^2sin(2\theta)}{g}$

$sin(2\theta) = \frac{1}{2}$

$2\theta = 30 or 150$

$\theta = 15^o \: or\: 75^o$
