Answer:

The frictional force producing this deceleration would have a magnitude of 4\; \rm N.

Explanation:

The velocity of this object changed by \Delta v = (-10\; \rm m\cdot s^{-1}) in \Delta t = 5\; \rm s. The acceleration of this object would be:

\begin{aligned}a &= \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t} \\ &= \frac{-10\; \rm m\cdot s^{-1}}{5\; \rm s} = -2\; \rm m\cdot s^{-2}\end{aligned}.

Let m denote the mass of this object. By Newton's Second Law of Motion, the net force on this object would be:

\begin{aligned}F &= m \, a \\ &= 2\; \rm kg \times (-2\; \rm m\cdot s^{-2}) \\ &= -4\; \rm N\end{aligned}.

(1\; {\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-2} = 1\; {\rm N}.)

If the floor is level, friction would be the only unbalanced force on this object. Thus, the magnitude of the frictional force on this object would also be 4\; {\rm N}, same as the magnitude of the net force on this object.

A basketball player drops a 0.4-kg basketball vertically so that it is traveling at 5.7 m/s when it reaches the floor. The ball
Alik [6]

Answer:

(a) p = 3.4 kg-m/s (b) 37.78 N.

Explanation:

Mass of a basketball, m = 0.4 kg

Initial velocity of the ball, u = -5.7 m/s (as it comes down so it is negative)

It rebounds upward at a speed of 2.8 m/s  (as it rebounds so positive)

(a) Change in momentum = final momentum - initial momentum

p = m(v-u)

p = 0.4 (2.8-(-5.7))

p = 3.4 kg-m/s

(b) Impulse = change in momentum

Ft = 3.4

We have, t = 0.09 s

F=\dfrac{3.4}{0.09}\\\\F=37.78\ N

Hence, this is the required solution.

A bullet is fired horizontally at a height of 1.3 meters and a velocity of 950 m/s. How long was the bullet in the air?
seropon [69]

Answer:

<em>The bullet was 0.52 seconds in the air.</em>

Explanation:

<u>Horizontal Motion </u>

It occurs when an object is thrown horizontally with a speed v from a height h.

The object describes a curved path ruled exclusively by gravity until it hits the ground.

To calculate the time the object takes to hit the ground, we use the following equation:

\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2y}{g}}

Note it doesn't depend on the initial velocity but on the height.

The bullet is fired horizontally at h=1.3 m, thus:

\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2\cdot 1.3}{9.8}}

\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2.6}{9.8}}

t = 0.52 s

The bullet was 0.52 seconds in the air.
