A ball is dropped from a height of 10m. At the same time, another ball is thrown

5.1 m

Explanation:

Let's set the ground as our reference point. Let's also call the dropped ball to be ball #1 and its height above the ground at any time t is given by

y_1 = 10 - \frac{1}{2}gt^2 (1)

where 10 represents its initial height or displacement of 10 m above the ground. At the same time, the displacement of the second ball with respect to the ground y_2, is given by

y_2 = v_0t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2 (2)

At the instant the two balls collide, they will have the same displacement, therefore

y_1 = y_2 \Rightarrow 10 - \frac{1}{2}gt^2 = v_0t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2

or

v_0t = 10\:\text{m}

Solving for t, we get

t = \dfrac{10\:\text{m}}{v_0} = \dfrac{10\:\text{m}}{10\:\text{m/s}} = 1\:\text{s}

We can use either Eqn(1) or Eqn(2) to hind the height where they collide. Let's use Eqn(1):

y_1 = 10\:\text{m} - \frac{1}{2}(9.8\:\text{m/s}^2)(1\:\text{s})^2

\:\:\:\:\:\:\:= 5.1\:\text{m}

A 126- kg astronaut (including space suit) acquires a speed of 2.70 m/s by pushing off with her legs from a 1800-kg space capsul
jeka94

The change in the speed of the space capsule will be -0.189 m/s.

The average force exerted by each on the other will be 567 N.

The kinetic energy of each after the push for the astronaut and the capsule are 459.27 J and 32.14 J.

<h3>Given:</h3>

Mass of the astronaut, m_a = 126 kg

Speed he acquires, v_{a}  = 2.70 m/s

Mass of the space capsule, m_{c} = 1800kg

The initial momentum of the astronaut-capsule system is zero due to rest.

P_f = m_av_a + m_cv_c

P_I = 0

m_av_a + m_cv_c = 0

v_c =\frac{- m_a v_a}{m_c}}\\\\

   = \frac{126* 2.70}{1800}

   = - 0.189 m/s

Therefore,

According, to the impulse-momentum theorem;

FΔt = ΔP

ΔP = m Δv

ΔP = 126×2.70

    = 340.2 kgm/sec

t is time interval = 0.600s

F = ΔP/Δt

F = 340.2/0.600

  = 567 N

Therefore, the average force exerted by each on the other will be 567 N.

The Kinetic Energy of the astronaut;

K.E = \frac{1}{2} m v^2

     = \frac{1}{2} × 126 × (2.70) ^2

     = 459.27 J

The Kinetic Energy of the capsule;

K.E = \frac{1}{2} m v^2

     = \frac{1}{2}×1800×(0.189) ^2

     = 32.14 J

Therefore, the kinetic energy of each after the push for the astronaut and the capsule are 459.27 J and 32.14 J.
