What is the momentum of a 72 kg baseball player who slides into home plate

Physics
1 answer:
Alina [70]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

B) 350 kg m/s

Explanation:

momentum or p is given by the equation p= mxv

We have the mass and velocity so we can use the equation directly

p= 72kg x 4.9 m/s

p= 352.8 kg m/s

Consider a solid metal sphere (S) a few centimeters in diameter and a feather (F). For each quantity in the list that follows, i
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

A) Gravitational Force is greater in S.

B) Time taken to fall a given distance in air will be greater for F.

C) Both will take same time to fall in a vacuum.

D) Total force is greater in S.

Explanation:

(a) In this case, the gravitational force of S will be greater, because Newton's Second Law states that - F = ma, or weight =mg. g is constant. And mass of the solid metal is heavier.

(b) In this case, the time it will take for F to fall from a given distance in air will be greater than that of S, since the air resistance is not negligible (as in the case of S).

(c) In this, It will take same time for S and F because in a vacuum, there are no air particles, so there is no air resistance and gravity is the only force acting and so objects fall at the same rate in a vacuum.

(d) The total force will be greater in S than F because Force=ma and S is of heavier mass than F.

An airplane is flying from Dallas, Texas to Pensacola, Florida. Flying at maximum velocity, it encounters strong winds moving at
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

G. It will take twice as long.

Explanation:

Let's call v the original speed of the plane and d the distance between Dallas and Pensacola. The time the plane originally takes to complete the flight is

t=\frac{d}{v}

In this problem, we are told that the plane encounters wind moving at half of its speed: \frac{v}{2}, in the opposite direction. This means that the new speed of the plane is

v'=v-\frac{v}{2}=\frac{v}{2}

And so, the time the plane takes now to complete the flight is

t'=\frac{d}{v/2}=2\frac{d}{v}=2t

So, the plane takes twice the time as before.

A particular planet has a moment of inertia of 9.74 × 1037 kg ⋅ m2 and a mass of 5.98 × 1024 kg. Based on these values, what is
malfutka [58]

Answer:  A) 6.38(10)^{6} m

Explanation:

The equation for the moment of inertia I of a sphere is:

I=\frac{2}{5}mr^{2} (1)

Where:

I=9.74(10)^{37}kg m^{2} is the moment of inertia of the planet (assumed with the shape of a sphere)

m=5.98(10)^{24}kg is the mass of the planet

r is the radius of the planet

Isolating r from (1):

r=\sqrt{\frac{5I}{2m}} (2)

Solving:

r=\sqrt{\frac{5(9.74(10)^{37}kg m^{2})}{2(5.98(10)^{24}kg)}} (3)

Finally:

r=6381149.077m \approx 6.38(10)^{6} m

Therefore, the correct option is A.

A roller coaster starts from rest at its highest point and then descends on its (frictionless) track. its speed is 40 m/s when i
Alenkinab [10]

Given that,

Initial velocity , Vi = 0

Final velocity , Vf = 40 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity , a = 9.81 m/s²

Distance can be calculated as,

2as = Vf² - Vi²

2 * 9.81 *s = 40² - 0²

s = 81.55 m

For half height, that is, s = 40.77m

Vf= ??

2as = Vf² - Vi²

2 * 9.81 * 40.77 = Vf² - 0²

Vf² = 800

Vf = 28.28 m/s

Therefore, speed of roller coaster when height is half of its starting point will be 28 m/s.
