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.

A uniform crate with a mass of 22 kg must be moved up along the 15° incline without tipping. The force P is horizontal. Determin
Paul [167]

Answer:

F_x=208.25\ N

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a crate is 22 kg

It moved up along the 15 degrees incline without tipping.

We need to find the corresponding magnitude of force P. The force P is acting in horizontal direction.

It means that the horizontal component of force is given by :

F_x=F\cos\theta\\\\F_x=mg\cos\theta\\\\F_x=22\times 9.8\times \cos(15)\\\\F_x=208.25\ N

So, the horizontal component of force is 208.25 N.

Using an example, explain how small atoms are.
Aliun [14]
Unlike a ball, an atom doesn't have a fixed radius. The radius of an atom can only be found by measuring the distance between the nuclei of two touching atoms, and then halving that distance... Does that answer your question?

Mike is a runner. Mike runs 200m in 25s; what is his average velocity during the run? assume that units are in m/s. (asap, will
maw [93]
Velocity is displacement/time
(Displacement is the overall change in distance)

So you’ll want to divide 200 by 25, which should give you:

8 m/s
