Peter, a 100 kg basketball player, lands on his feet after completing a slam dunk and then immediately jump up again to celebrat

e his basket. When his feet first touch the floor after the dunk,
his velocity is 5 m/s downward; when his feet leave the floor 0.50 s later, as he jumps back up,
his velocity is 4 m/s upward. What is the average reaction force exerted upward by the floor on Peter during this 0.50 s?

Answer:

1800 N

Solution:

Impulse = mΔv = m * (u - v) .

 here m = 100 kg

          u = 4 m/s

          v = -5 m/s

  impulse = 100 x ( 4 - ( -5 ) ) = 900 Kg m/s .

Average reaction Force ( Favg ) = impulse / Δt

Average reaction Force ( Favg )  = 900kg·m/s / 0.5s

Average reaction Force ( Favg )  = 1800 N

A 0.050 kg bullet strikes a 5.0 kg wooden block with a velocity of 909 m/s and embeds itself in the block which fies off its sta
serg [7]

Answer:

The final velocity of the bullet is 9 m/s.

Explanation:

We have,

Mass of a bullet is, m = 0.05 kg

Mass of wooden block is, M = 5 kg

Initial speed of bullet, v = 909 m/s

The bullet embeds itself in the block which flies off its stand. Let V is the final velocity of the bullet. The this case, momentum of the system remains conserved. So,

mv=(m+M)V\\\\V=\dfrac{mv}{m+M}\\\\V=\dfrac{0.05\times 909}{0.050+5}\\\\V=9\ m/s

So, the final velocity of the bullet is 9 m/s.

A spring is used to launch a coffee mug. The 20cm long spring can be compressed by a maximum of 8cm. The mug has a mass of 350 g
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

7503.13 N/m

Explanation:

Use principle of conservation of energy.

Here, energy stored in the spring due to compression shall be utilized in attaining the potential energy of the mug.

Given that,

Length of the spring = 20 cm = 0.20 m

Compression, x = 8 cm = 0.08 m

mass of the mug, m = 350 g = 0.35 kg

h = 7 m

use the expression for energy balance -

(1/2)*k*x^2 = m*g*h

=> k = (2*m*g*h) / x^2

input the values

k = (2*0.35*9.8*7) / 0.08^2

= 7503.13 N/m

If one replaces the conducting cube with one that has positive charge carriers, in what direction does the induced electric fiel
Grace [21]

Answer:

There will be no change in the direction of the electric field .

Explanation:

The direction will remain the same because the sign of the charges has no effect on it.

When one replaces the conducting cube with one that has positive charge carriers there will be no change in the direction of the field as there is no defined relationship between the direction of the electric field and sign of the charge.

A hot (70°C) lump of metal has a mass of 250 g and a specific heat of 0.25 cal/g⋅°C. John drops the metal into a 500-g calorimet
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

d. 37 °C

Explanation:

m_{m} = mass of lump of metal = 250 g

c_{m} = specific heat of lump of metal  = 0.25 cal/g°C

T_{mi} = Initial temperature of lump of metal = 70 °C

m_{w} = mass of water = 75 g

c_{w} = specific heat of water = 1 cal/g°C

T_{wi} = Initial temperature of water = 20 °C

m_{c} = mass of calorimeter  = 500 g

c_{c} = specific heat of calorimeter = 0.10 cal/g°C

T_{ci} = Initial temperature of calorimeter = 20 °C

T_{f} = Final equilibrium temperature

Using conservation of heat

Heat lost by lump of metal = heat gained by water + heat gained by calorimeter

m_{m} c_{m} (T_{mi} - T_{f}) = m_{w} c_{w} (T_{f} - T_{wi}) +  m_{c} c_{c} (T_{f} - T_{ci}) \\(250) (0.25) (70 - T_{f} ) = (75) (1) (T_{f} - 20) + (500) (0.10) (T_{f} - 20)\\T_{f} = 37 C
