A 0. 0427 kg racquetball is moving 22. 3 m/s when it strikes a stationary box. The ball bounces back at 11. 5 m/s, while the box

moves forward at 1. 53 m/s. What is the mass of the box?.

To solve the question we must know about the conservation of momentum.

<h2>Conservation of Momentum</h2>

According to the law of conservation of momentum, when two bodies collide with each other then their momentum is conserved if no external force acts on the system. therefore, the combined momentum of the two objects before collision will be equal to the combined momentum of the two objects after the collision.

the momentum of the two objects before the collision

                       = momentum of the two objects after the collision

The mass of the box is 0.30141 kg.

<h2>Explanation</h2>

Given to us

  • Mass of racquetball, m = 0.0427 kg,
  • Velocity of racquetball before Collision,  \bold{u_1} = 22.3 m/s,
  • Velocity of box before Collision,\bold{ u_2}  = 0 m/s,
  • Velocity of racquetball after Collision, \bold{v_1} = 11.5 m/s,
  • Velocity of box after Collision, \bold{v_2} = 1.53 m/s,

<h3>Assumption</h3>

Let the mass of the box be M.

<h3>Conservation Of Momentum</h3>

Momentum before collision = Momentum after collision

mu_1 + Mu_2 = mv_1 + Mv_2

given, the box was stationary before the collision,

mu_1 + Mu_2 = mv_1 + Mv_2\\\\&#10;mu_1 + 0 = mv_1 + Mv_2\\\\&#10;mu_1  - mv_1 = Mv_2\\\\&#10;M= \dfrac{mu_1  - mv_1}{v_2}

Substituting the values,

M= \dfrac{mu_1  - mv_1}{v_2}\\\\&#10;M = \dfrac{(0.0427 \times 22.3)  - (0.0427\times 11.5)}{1.53}\\\\&#10;M = 0.30141\ kg

Hence, the mass of the box is 0.30141 kg.

Hey!


Your point on the graph would be ( -8, 0 ).

We shade the right side of the graph because the inequality shows that x is greater than -8.

If nx10^p is a positive number written in scientific notation which statements must be true? Select all that apply
liq [111]

For this case we have the following number written in scientific notation:


n * 10 ^ p

We know that this number is greater than zero because it is a positive number.

Therefore, the following statements are true:

p ∈ (-∞, ∞)

n must be between 1 and 10

n ∈ [1, 10]

Answer:

The following statements are correct about the number written in scientific notation:

p ∈ (-∞, ∞)

n ∈ [1, 10]
