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.

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 friend in your class tells you that she never uses hints when doing her Mastering homework. She says that she finds the hints
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

A, B, and C are good reasons for my friend not to worry

Explanation:

The following reasons are reason not to worry

A. The only way to lose additional partial credit on a hint is by using the "give up" button or entering incorrect answers. Leaving the question blank will not cost you any credit (Regardless of whether you open a link or not, you will lose credit if you enter a wrong answer or if you give up on a question by hitting the "give up" button. Even after opening a hint, you can leave the question blank if the hint does not provide relevant hints or if the hint brings up more question. Once the question is left blank, you do not lose additional partial credit)

B. As an incentive for thinking hard about the problem, your instructor may choose to apply a small hint penalty, but this penalty is the same whether the hint simply gives information or asks another question (In a situation where you decide to use a hint, the instructor may have put a penalty for using the hint, so whether it asks a question or help in the solution of the question, as long as the hint is consulted, the hint penalty still applies)

C. Getting the correct answer to the question in a hint actually gives you some partial credit, even if you still can't answer the original question (An advantage of using hint is that you get some partial credit for using it if you answer the hint question correctly and fails to answer the original question)
