Answer:

Explanation:

The mass of the person can be found by using the formula

$m = \frac{p}{v} \\$

p is the momentum

v is the velocity

From the question we have

$m = \frac{52}{0.8} \\$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

The two masses in the Atwood's machine shown in the figure are initially at rest at the same height. After they are released, th

Inga [223]

According to the description given in the photo, the attached figure represents the problem graphically for the Atwood machine.

To solve this problem we must apply the concept related to the conservation of energy theorem.

PART A ) For energy conservation the initial kinetic and potential energy will be the same as the final kinetic and potential energy, so

$E_i = E_f$

$0 = \frac{1}{2} (m_1+m_2)v_f^2-m_2gh+m_1gh$

$v_f = \sqrt{2gh(\frac{m_2-m_1}{m_1+m_2})}$

PART B) Replacing the values given as,

$h= 1.7m\\m_1 = 3.5kg\\m_2 = 4.3kg \\g = 9.8m/s^2 \\$

$v_f = \sqrt{2gh(\frac{m_2-m_1}{m_1+m_2})}$

$v_f = \sqrt{2(9.8)(1.7)(\frac{4.3-3.5}{3.5+4.3})}$

$v_f = 1.8486m/s$

Therefore the speed of the masses would be 1.8486m/s

A 170 kg astronaut (including space suit) acquires a speed of 2.25 m/s by pushing off with his legs from a 2600 kg space capsule

saw5 [17]

Explanation:

Mass of the astronaut, m₁ = 170 kg

Speed of astronaut, v₁ = 2.25 m/s

mass of space capsule, m₂ = 2600 kg

Let v₂ is the speed of the space capsule. It can be calculated using the conservation of momentum as :

initial momentum = final momentum

Since, initial momentum is zero. So,

$m_1v_1+m_2v_2=0$

$170\ kg\times 2.25\ m/s+2600\ kg\times v_2=0$

$v_2=-0.17\ m/s$

So, the change in speed of the space capsule is 0.17 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
