A big red fish with a mass of 20 kg swims with a velocity of 2 m/s toward a small, stationary green fish which has a mass of 10

kg. The big red fish opens its mouth and swallows the small green fish. What will the big red fish's velocity be immediately after swallowing its meal?​

Answer:

1.33m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

M1  = 20kg

V1  = 2m/s

V2 = 0m/s

M2  = 10kg

Unknown:

V  = ?

Solution:

As with all systems, the momentum must be conserved and it implies that the starting and ending momentum be the same.

  M1 V1  +  M2 V2  = V (M1 + M2)

M1 is the mass of the big red fish

V1 is the velocity of the big red fish

V2 is the velocity of the green fish

M2 is the mass of the green fish

V is the velocity after swallowing

           (20 x 2) + (10 x 0)  = V (20 + 10)

                      40  = 30V

                      V  = 1.33m/s

A quarterback claims that he can throw the football a horizontal distance of 167 m. Furthermore, he claims that he can do this b
pychu [463]

Answer:u=42.29 m/s

Explanation:

Given

Horizontal distance=167 m

launch angle=33.1^{\circ}

Let u be the initial speed of ball

Range=\frac{u^2\sin 2\theta }{g}

167=\frac{u^2\sin (66.2)}{9.8}

u^2=1788.71

u=\sqrt{1788.71}

u=42.29 m/s

A disk has a radius of 30 cm and a mass of 0.3 kg and is turning at 3.0 rev/s. A trickle of sand falls onto the disk at a distan
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

The mass of the sand that will fall on the disk to decrease the is 0.3375 kg

Explanation:

Moment before = Moment after

I \omega_i = I \omega_f +mr^2 \omega_f\\\\mr^2 \omega_f = I \omega_i  - I \omega_f \\\\m = \frac{ I \omega_i  - I \omega_f}{r^2 \omega_f }

where;

I is moment of inertia = Mr² = 0.3 x (0.3)² = 0.027 kg.m²

substitute this in the above equation;

m = \frac{ 0.027[3(2 \pi)  - 2(2 \pi)]} {0.2^2 * 6\pi } = \frac{ 0.027[6 \pi  - 4\pi]} {0.2^2 * 4\pi }\\\\m = 0.3375kg

Therefore, the mass of the sand that will fall on the disk to decrease the is 0.3375 kg

At an instant when a soccer ball is in contact with the foot of the player kicking it, the horizontal or x component of the ball
dedylja [7]

Answer:

Magnitude of net force will be 432.758 N  

Explanation:

We have given x component of acceleration a_x=760m/sec^2

And vertical component of acceleration  a_y=770m/sec^2

Mass of the ball m = 0.40 kg

So net acceleration a=\sqrt{a_x^2+a_y^2}=\sqrt{760^2+770^2}=1081.896m/sec^2

Now according to second law of motion

Force = mass × acceleration

So F = 0.40×1081.896 = 432.758 N
