The magnitude of the racquetball's change in momentum is 0.59 kgm/s approximately.

Given that a racquetball with a mass of 42 g is moving with a horizontal speed of 7 m/s to the right (+x direction).

mass m  = 42g = 42/1000 = 0.042kg

initial velocity before collision u = 7 m/s

It hits the wall of the court and rebounds to the hitter with a horizontal speed of 7m/s to the left (-x direction). That is,

velocity after collision v = 7 m/s

To calculate the magnitude of the racquetball's change in momentum, we will use the formula below

Change in momentum = Mv - Mu

Since momentum is a vector quantity, we will consider the direction.

Change in momentum = 0.042 x 7 - ( 0.042 x - 7)

Change in momentum = 0.294 + 0.294

Change in momentum = 0.588 kgm/s

Therefore, the magnitude of the racquetball's change in momentum is 0.59 kgm/s approximately.

A motor lifts a 500kg elevator a height of 100 m at a constant speed in 50 secs. How much power did the motor supply
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

9,800 watts

Explanation:

The first step is to calculate the force

F= mg

= 500 × 9.8

= 4,900 N

The next step is to calculate the work done

= 4,900 × 100

= 490,000 joules

Therefore the power can be calculated as follows

Power= work done /time

= 490,000/50

= 9,800 watts

A car travels 300km in six hour. What is the average speed
KiRa [710]

Answer:

<h2>50 km/hr</h2>

Explanation:

The average speed of the car can be found by using the formula

s =  \frac{d}{t}  \\

d is the distance

t is the time taken

From the question we have

s =  \frac{300}{6}  = 50 \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>50 km/hr</h3>

Hope this helps you
