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.

An object of height 2.4 cm is placed 29 cm in front of a diverging lens of focal length 19 cm. Behind the diverging lens, and 11
Arada [10]

Answer:

122.735 behind converging lens ; 2.16

Explanation:

Given tgat:

Object distance, u = 29 cm

Image distance, v =

Focal length, f = - 19 (diverging lens)

Mirror formula :

1/u + 1/v = 1/f

1/29 + 1/v = - 1/19

1/v = - 1/19 - 1/29

1/v = −0.087114

v = −11.47916

v = -11.48

Second lens

Object distance :

u = 11.48 + 11 = 22.48 cm

1/v = 1/19 - 1/22.48

1/v = 0.0081475

v = 1 / 0.0081475

v = 122.735 cm

122.735 behind second lens

Magnification, m

m = m1 * m2

m = - v / u

Lens1 :

m1 = -11.48 / 29 = - 0.3958620

m2 = - 122.735 / 22.48 = - 5.4597419

Hence,

- 0.3958620 * - 5.4597419 = 2.16

% = Wo/Wi x 100 Solve for Wo<br> % = Wo/Wi x 100 Solve for Wi
irga5000 [103]
1) % = (Wo /Wi) * 100

Solve for Wo => Wo = (% / 100) * Wi

For example, % =30% and Wi = 250 => Wo = (30 /100) * 250 = 0.30 * 250 = 75

Wo = 75

2) % = (Wo / Wi) * 100

Solve for Wi

=> Wi = Wo * (%/100)

For example, Wo = 125 and % = 40%

=> Wi = 125 * (40 / 100) = 125 * 0.40 = 50

Wi = 50

As the pendulum swings through the origin, it has a speed of v0 = 1.1 m/s. If the mass on the end of the pendulum is 15 g, and t
serg [7]

Answer:

1: 6.18 cm

2: 52.5609 degrees

Explanation:

We have the pendulum speed at the origin, and in that moment, all energy is kinetic, so we can calculate the pendulum energy by:

Ec = 0.5*m*v^2 = 0.5*0.015*1.1^2 = 0.0091 J

Now with that energy, we can calculate the height the pendulum will reach, as in that moment, the kinetic energy is totally converted to gravitational potencial energy:

Eg = m*g*h = 0.0091

0.015 * 9.81 * h = 0.0091

h = 0.0091 / (0.015 * 9.81 ) = 0.0618 m = 6.18 cm

Looking at the image attached, we can see that the pendulum will form a triangle, and one of the cathetus will be the length of the pendulum minus the height it went up, and the hypotenusa will be the pendulum length.

So, we know that the sine of the angle will be the division between the opposite cathetus and the hypotenusa:

sin(angle) = (30-6.18)/30 = 23.82/30 = 0.794 -> angle = 52.5609 degrees

Why can't speed ratio ever equal mechanical advantage?
OLga [1]
Efficiency of a simple machine is the ratio of mechanical advantage and speed ratio.

If mechanical advantage = speed ratio then efficiency = 1
Which is impossible for a practical machine due to presence of frictional force which wastes some energy and thus lowers the output
