You are on a skateboard not moving when your friend throws you a basketball and you catch it. The 0.50kg basketball was going 5

m/s when you catch it. You weigh 55kg with the skateboard. After you catch the basketball you, the basketball, and the skateboard are moving.
a. What is your mass with the basketball and skateboard?
b. What is your new velocity after you catch the basketball?

Answer:

a. Your mass with the basketball is 55.5 kg

b. Your new velocity is 0.045 m/s

Explanation:

We first add your weight and the basketballs weight to get 55.5 kg.

Then to find b. we use the equation: v final = (m1 * v1) / (m1 +m2)

So m1 is the basketball which is 0.5 kg and v1 is 5 m/s. So the top half is (0.5 * 5)

The bottom half is just our weights added together.

Answer:

a) 55.5 kg

b) .045 m/s

Explanation:

Using conservation of momentum, we can set the initial momentum of the skateboard-person-basketball system equal to the final momentum of the skateboard-person-basketball system.

m1 = skateboard + person = 55 kg

m2 = basketball = .50 kg

v1_i = 0 m/s

v2_i = 5 m/s

Solve for v_f (same as v1_f or v2_f since the system is moving together -- assuming perfectly inelastic collision).

m1v1_i + m2v2_i = m1v1_f + m2v2_f

m1v1_i + m2v2_i = v_f (m1 + m2)

Substitute known values into the equation.

(55)(0) + (.5)(5) = v_f (55 + .5)

2.5 = v_f (55.5)

v_f = .045 m/s

Your new velocity after catching the basketball is .045 m/s.

Answer:

When liquid water is cooled, it contracts like one would expect until a temperature of approximately 4 degrees Celsius is reached. After that, it expands slightly until it reaches the freezing point, and then when it freezes it expands by approximately 9%.

PLS HELP BEING TIMED!!!
Elodia [21]

Answer:

K_{i}+U_{g,i} = K_{f}+U_{g,f}

Explanation:

A closed system is a system where exists energy interactions with surroundings, but not mass interactions. If we neglect any energy interactions from boundary work, heat, electricity, magnetism and nuclear phenomena and assume that process occurs at steady state and all effects from non-conservative forces can be neglected, then the equation of energy conservation is reduce to this form:

\Delta K +\Delta U_{g} = 0 (1)

Where:

\Delta K - Change in kinetic energy of the system, measured in joules.

\Delta U_{g} - Change in gravitational potential energy of the system, measured in joules.

If we know that \Delta K=K_{i}-K_{f} and \Delta U_{g} = U_{g,i}-U_{g,f}, then we get the following equation:

K_{i}+U_{g,i} = K_{f}+U_{g,f} (2)

Where i and f stands for initial and final states of each energy component.

Hence, the right answer is K_{i}+U_{g,i} = K_{f}+U_{g,f}

A turtle accelerates from a stop at 3m/s/s to the South for 8s. What is the turtle’s final velocity? Show your work and include
andrey2020 [161]

He's accelerating at 3 m/s² .  That means his speed is increasing by 3 m/s every second.At the end of 8 seconds, his speed is (8 x 3 m/s)  =  24 m/s .He's been moving south for the whole 8 seconds.So at the end of that time, his velocity is                          24 m/s south .

Why are the layers of the earth in the order that they are in?
REY [17]

Answer:

Each layer has its own properties, composition, and characteristics that affects many of the key processes of our planet. They are, in order from the exterior to the interior – the crust, the mantle, the outer core, and the inner core.

A toy train is pushed forward and released at Xi = 4.0 m with a speed of 2.5 m/s. It rolls at a steady speed for 2.0 s, then one
Fittoniya [83]
I don't think that 4m has anything to do with the problem. anyway. here. A___________________B_______C where A is the point that the train was released. B is where the wheel started to stick C is where it stopped From A to B, v=2.5m/s, it takes 2s to go A to B so t=2 AB= v*t = 2.5 * 2 = 5m The train comes to a stop 7.7 m from the point at which it was released so AC=7.7m then BC= AC-AB = 7.7-5 = 2.7m now consider BC v^2=u^2+2as where u is initial speed, in this case is 2.5m/s v is final speed, train stop at C so final speed=0, so v=0 a is acceleration s is displacement, which is BC=2.7m substitute all the number into equation, we have 0^2 = 2.5^2 + 2*a*2.7 0 = 6.25 + 5.4a a = -6.25/5.4 = -1.157 so acceleration is -1.157m/(s^2)
