In a carnival game, the player throws a ball at a haystack. For a typical throw, the ball leaves the hay with a speed exactly on

e-half of the entry speed. If the frictional force exerted by the hay is a constant 6.0 N and the haystack is 1.2 m thick, derive an expression for the typical entry speed as a function of the inertia of the ball. Assume horizontal motion only, and ignore any effects due to gravity. What is the typical entry speed if the ball has an inertia of a 0.35 kg?

Answer:

Ve(m) = sqrt (19.2/m)

Ve(0.35) = 7.407 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

- The ball has a mass = m

- The entry speed of the ball is Vi = Ve

- The final speed of the ball Vf = 0.5*Ve

- The constant frictional force on ball due to hay is F = 6 N

- The thickness of hay-stack is s = 1.2 m

- Assume the throw is in horizontal direction and neglect gravity forces

Find:

Derive an expression for the typical entry speed as a function of the inertia of the ball

What is the typical entry speed if the ball has an inertia of a 0.35 kg?

Solution:

- To determine the entry speed as a function of inertia we will use third equation of motion as follows:

Vf^2 = Vi^2 + 2*a*s

Where, a is acceleration of the ball through hay stack. We will use Newton's Law of motion to determine this:

F_net = m*a

The only force acting on the ball in its journey through hay-stack is the frictional force F:

- F = m*a

a = -F/m

- Input all the quantities in the third equation of motion:

(0.5Ve)^2 = Ve^2 - 2*F*s / m

0.75Ve^2 = 2*F*s / m

Ve = sqrt (8*F*s/3*m)

Plug in values:

Ve(m) = sqrt (8*6*1.2/3*m)

Ve(m) = sqrt (19.2/m)

- The entry speed for the inertia of the ball m = 0.35 kg is:

Ve(0.35) = sqrt(19.2/0.35)

Ve(0.35) = 7.407 m/s

A 3-cm high object is in front of a thin lens. The object distance is 4 cm and the image distance is –8 cm. (a) What is the foca

xenn [34]

Answer:

a) Focal length of the lens is 8 cm which is a convex lens

b) 6 cm

c) The lens is a convex lens and produces a virtual image which is upright and two times larger than the object.

Explanation:

u = Object distance = 4 cm

v = Image distance = -8 cm

f = Focal length

Lens Equation

$\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{v}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{-8}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{8}\\\Rightarrow f=\frac{8}{1}=-8\ cm$

a) Focal length of the lens is 8 cm which is a convex lens

Magnification

$m=-\frac{v}{u}\\\Rightarrow m=-\frac{-8}{4}\\\Rightarrow m=2$

b) Height of image is 2×3 = 6 cm

Since magnification is positive the image upright

c) The lens is a convex lens and produces a virtual image which is upright and two times larger than the object.

A 4-N object object swings on the end of a string as a simple pendulum. At the bottom of the swing, the tension in the string is

Amanda [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given mg = 4N .

m = 4 / g

At the bottom of the swing let centripetal acceleration be a

T - mg = ma

9 - 4 = ma

5 = 4 a / g

a = 5g / 4

Consider a very small hole in the bottom of a tank 17.0 cm in diameter filled with water to a heightof 90.0 cm. Find the speed a

umka21 [38]

Answer:

Speed of water, v = 4.2 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Diameter of the tank, d = 17 cm

It is placed at a height of 90 cm, h = 0.9 m

We need to find the speed at which the water exits the tank through the hole. It can be calculated using the conservation of energy as :

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh$

$v=\sqrt{2gh}$

$v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 0.9}$

v = 4.2 m/s

So, the speed of water at which the water exits the tank through the hole is 4.2 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

Two satellites revolve around the Earth. Satellite A has mass m and has an orbit of radius r. Satellite B has mass 6m and an orb

melomori [17]

Answer:

aaaaa

Explanation:

M = Mass of the Earth

m = Mass of satellite

r = Radius of satellite

G = Gravitational constant

$F=G\frac{Mm}{r^2}$

$F=G\frac{M6m}{r_b^2}$

$G\frac{Mm}{r^2}=G\frac{M6m}{r_b^2}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{r^2}=\frac{6}{r_b^2}\\\Rightarrow \frac{r_b^2}{r^2}=6\\\Rightarrow \frac{r_b}{r}=\sqrt{6}\\\Rightarrow r_b=2.44948r$

$r_b=2.44948r$

A pitcher throws a 0.15 kg baseball so that it crosses home plate horizontally with a speed of 10 m/s. It is hit straight back a

Maru [420]

Answer:

-5.1 kg m/s

Explanation:

Impulse is the change in momentum.

Change in momentum= final momentum - initial momentum=m $v_{2}$ +m $v_{1}$

Plugging in the values= -0.15*24 - (0.15*10) (The motion towards the pitcher is negative as the initial motion is considered to be positive)

Impulse=-5.1 kg m/s (-ve means that it is the impulse towards the pitcher)
