(a) +9.30 kg m/s
The impulse exerted on an object is equal to its change in momentum:
where
m is the mass of the object
is the change in velocity of the object, with
v = final velocity
u = initial velocity
For the volleyball in this problem:
m = 0.272 kg
u = -12.6 m/s
v = +21.6 m/s
So the impulse is
(b) 155 N
The impulse can also be rewritten as
where
F is the force exerted on the volleyball (which is equal and opposite to the force exerted by the volleyball on the fist of the player, according to Newton's third law)
is the duration of the collision
In this situation, we have
So we can re-arrange the equation to find the magnitude of the average force:
A. The cliff was 30.7 m high
B. I also got 9.5 as the horizontal distance
Here is my work, I find making charts like this one to find knowns and unknowns can be helpful
By looking at how wiggily the bar is lol
It is gravity¿ what is the question?
To solve this problem we will use the linear motion kinematic equations, for which the change of speed squared with the acceleration and the change of position. The acceleration in this case will be the same given by gravity, so our values would be given as,
Through the aforementioned formula we will have to
The particulate part of the rest, so the final speed would be
Now from Newton's second law we know that
Here,
m = mass
a = acceleration, which can also be written as a function of velocity and time, then
Replacing we have that,
Therefore the force that the water exert on the man is 1386.62
