A 5 kg bowling ball travelling at 2 m/s hits a motionless 10 kg bowling ball. If the smaller ball bounces back at a speed of -1

Answer:

  1.5 m/s

Explanation:

Conservation of momentum means the momentum of the system before the collision is the same as after.

The before, after momentum of each ball is ...

  5 kg ball: (5 kg)(2 m/s), (5 kg)(-1 m/s)

  10 kg ball: (10 kg)(0 m/s), (10 kg)(v)

The sum of the "before" products is the same as the sum of the "after" products:

  (5 kg)(2 m/s) +0 = (5 kg)(-1 m/s) +(10 kg)v

  (10 +5) kg·m/s = (10 kg)·v . . . . . add (5 kg)(1 m/s) to both sides

  v = (15 kg·m/s)/(10 kg) = 1.5 m/s

The speed of the larger ball will be 1.5 m/s. Its direction of motion will be the opposite of that of the 5 kg ball after the collision.

What force is applied to a 60 kg person if it takes 7.8 seconds to reach a speed of 12.86 m/s from rest?
docker41 [41]

Answer:

drag

Explanation:

drag is the force that acts against any moving object.

if it takes him any amount of time to get from one speed to another, it is caused by drag.

Two boxers are fighting. Boxer 1 throws his 5 kg fist at boxer 2 with a speed of 9 m/s.
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

0.001 s

Explanation:

The force applied on an object is equal to the rate of change of momentum of the object:

F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}

where

F is the force applied

\Delta p is the change in momentum

\Delta t is the time interval

The change in momentum can be written as

\Delta p=m(v-u)

where

m is the mass

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

So the original equation can be written as

F=\frac{m(v-u)}{\Delta t}

In this problem:

m = 5 kg is the mass of the fist

u = 9 m/s is the initial velocity

v = 0 is the final velocity

F = -45,000 N is the force applied (negative because its direction is opposite to the motion)

Therefore, we can re-arrange the equation to solve for the time:

\Delta t=\frac{m(v-u)}{F}=\frac{(5)(0-9)}{-45,000}=0.001 s

A paint brush is dropped from the top of a tall ladder and free falls to the ground. What changes, if any, would be observed of
muminat

Answer:

Explanation:

As the paint brush is dropped from the top of a tall ladder it started free falling

i.e. velocity of brush increases as it falls down due to the acceleration provided by gravity.

We know acceleration due to gravity is the attraction experienced by the object due to earth attraction

Value of acceleration due to gravity is constant i.e. 9.8\ m/s^2

Therefore the correct choice is

velocity is increasing and acceleration is constant

A vector A has a magnitude of 5 units and points in the −y-direction, while a vector B has triple the magnitude of A and points
Harman [31]

Answer:

A+B; 5√5 units, 341.57°

A-B; 5√5 units, 198.43°

B-A; 5√5 units, 18.43°

Explanation:

Given A = 5 units

By vector notation and the axis of A, it is represented as -5j

B = 3 × 5 = 15 units

Using the vector notations and the axis, B is +15i. The following vectors ate taking as the coordinates of A and B

(a) A + B = -5j + 15i

A+B = 15i -5j

|A+B| = √(15)²+(5)²

= 5√5 units

∆ = arctan(5/15) = 18.43°

The angle ∆ is generally used in the diagrams

∆= 18.43°

The direction of A+B is 341.57° based in the condition given (see attachment for diagrams

(b) A - B = -5j -15i

A-B = -15i -5j

|A-B|= √(15)²+(-5)²

|A-B| = √125

|A-B| = 5√5 units

The direction is 180+18.43°= 198.43°

See attachment for diagrams

(c) B-A = 15i -( -5j) = 15i + 5j

|B-A| = 5√5 units

The direction is 18.43°

See attachment for diagram
