The force due to gravity is equal to the product of the mass and acceleration due to gravity. Since the acceleration due to gravity is constant, we just have to rely on the comparison of their masses to determine the mass effect. Thus, the answer to this item is Wrestler C weighing 171 pounds.

A 0.500-kg ball traveling horizontally on a frictionless surface approaches a very massive stone at 20.0 m/s perpendicular to wa

gregori [183]

The magnitude of the change in momentum of the stone is about 18.4 kg.m/s

$\texttt{ }$

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Let's recall Impulse formula as follows:

$\boxed {I = \Sigma F \times t}$

<em>where:</em>

<em>I = impulse on the object ( kg m/s )</em>

<em>∑F = net force acting on object ( kg m /s² = Newton )</em>

<em>t = elapsed time ( s )</em>

Let us now tackle the problem!

$\texttt{ }$

<u>Given:</u>

mass of ball = m = 0.500 kg

initial speed of ball = vo = 20.0 m/s

final kinetic energy = Ek = 70% Eko

<u>Asked:</u>

magnitude of the change of momentum of the stone = Δp = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

<em>Firstly, we will calculate the final speed of the ball as follows:</em>

$Ek = 70\% \ Ek_o$

$\frac{1}{2} m v^2 = 70\% \ ( \frac{1}{2} m (v_o)^2 )$

$v^2 = 70 \% \ (v_o)^2$

$v = - v_o \sqrt{70 \%}$ → <em>negative sign due to ball rebounds</em>

$v = - v_o \sqrt{0.7} \texttt{ m/s}$

$\texttt{ }$

<em>Next, we could find the magnitude of the change of momentum of the stone as follows:</em>

$\Delta p_{stone} = - \Delta p_{ball}$

$\Delta p_{stone} = - [ mv - mv_o ]$

$\Delta p_{stone} = m[ v_o - v ]$

$\Delta p_{stone} = m[ v_o + v_o\sqrt{0.7} ]$

$\Delta p_{stone} = mv_o [ 1 + \sqrt{0.7} ]$

$\Delta p_{stone} = 0.500 ( 20.0 ) [ 1 + \sqrt{0.7} ]$

$\Delta p_{stone} \approx 18.4 \texttt{ kg.m/s}$

An egg falls from a nest at a height of 4m. What speed will it have when it is 1m from the ground? Neglect air resistance and ta

Zolol [24]

Answer: 7.66 m/s

Explanation:

This situation is related to free fall (vertical motion). Hence, this can be considered a one-dimension problem and we can use the following equation:

$V^{2}=V_{o}^{2}+2gd$

Where:

$V$ is the final velocity of the egg at the asked height

$V_{o}=0 m/s$ is the initial velocity of the egg

$g=9.8 m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration due gravity

$d=4 m- 1m= 3m$ is the distance at which the egg is from the nest, when it is $1 m$ from the ground

Isolating $V$ :

$V=\sqrt{V_{o}^{2}+2gd}$

Substituting the known values:

$V=\sqrt{2(9.8 m/s^{2})(3 m)}$

$V=7.66 m/s$ This is the final velocity of the egg
