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.

Three forces act on an object. Two of the forces are at an angle of 100◦to each other and have magnitude 25N and 12N. The third
seraphim [82]

Answer:

F₄ = 29.819 N

Explanation:

Given

F₁ = (- 25*Cos 50° i + 25*Sin 50° j + 0 k) N

F₂ = (12*Cos 50° i + 12*Sin 50° j + 0 k) N

F₃ = (0 i + 0 j + 4 k) N

Then we have

F₁ + F₂ + F₃ + F₄ = 0

⇒   F₄ = - (F₁ + F₂ + F₃)

⇒   F₄ = - ((- 25*Cos 50° i + 25*Sin 50° j) N + (12*Cos 50° i + 12*Sin 50° j) N + (4 k) N) = (13*Cos 50° i - 37*Sin 50° j - 4 k) N

The magnitude of the force will be

F₄ = √((13*Cos 50°)² + (- 37*Sin 50°)² + (- 4)²) N = 29.819 N

you add equal amounts of heat to two identical cylinders containing equal amounts of the same ideal gas. cylinder a is allowed t
OleMash [197]

Temperature rise will be there in cylinder B more than in cylinder A because of internal energy.

what is internal energy?

The sum of the kinetic and chemical potential energies of all the particles in the system is the internal energy. Particles accelerate and pick up kinetic energy when energy is applied to increase the temperature.

Briefing:

Cylinder A uses the heat it absorbs to both work while expanding and to increase internal energy (or temperature).

While cylinder B solely uses the heat it absorbs to increase its internal energy 

As a result, cylinder B's temperature rise is greater than cylinder A's.

Why would it be desirable to use an energy resource that does not produce greenhouse gases ?
Dimas [21]

It be desirable to use an energy resource that does not produce greenhouse gases because it contribute to climate change .

Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

Greenhouse gases are the toxic gases that contribute to the "greenhouse effect". Greenhouse gases have the ability to absorb and emit some of the outgoing energy that is radiated by the Earth's surface, eventually causing the heat to get accumulated in the "lower atmosphere". It is always beneficial to use Renewable Energy sources such as Wind, solar and water which gives no harm to the environment and climate with no greenhouse gas emissions.  

<u>For example:</u> If we have to generate electricity, there will be no greenhouse gas production at the beginning and a very less amount of production at the entire life cycle.
