Find the mass of a person walking west at a speed of 0.8 m/s with a momentum of 52.0 kg.m/s west.
1 answer:
Answer:
mass of the person walking to west is 65 kg.
Given:
Momentum = 52
Speed = 0.8
To find:
Mass of the person = ?
Formula used:
Momentum is given by,
P = m × v
Where, P = momentum
m = mass
v = speed
Solution:
Momentum is given by,
P = m × v
Where, P = momentum
m = mass
v = speed
Mass =
m =
m = 65 kg
Thus, mass of the person walking to west is 65 kg.

Answer:
(a). The initial velocity is 28.58m/s
(b). The speed when touching the ground is 33.3m/s.
Explanation:
The equations governing the position of the projectile are
where is the initial velocity.
(a).
When the projectile hits the 50m mark, ; therefore,
solving for we get:
Thus, the projectile must hit the 50m mark in 1.75s, and this condition demands from equation (1) that
which gives
(b).
The horizontal velocity remains unchanged just before the projectile touches the ground because gravity acts only along the vertical direction; therefore,
the vertical component of the velocity is
which gives a speed of
Answer:
μ = 0.692
Explanation:
In order to solve this problem, we must make a free body diagram and include the respective forces acting on the body. Similarly, deduce the respective equations according to the conditions of the problem and the directions of the forces.
Attached is an image with the respective forces:
A summation of forces on the Y-axis is performed equal to zero, in order to determine the normal force N. this summation is equal to zero since there is no movement on the Y-axis.
Since the body moves at a constant speed, there is no acceleration so the sum of forces on the X-axis must be equal to zero.
The frictional force is defined as the product of the coefficient of friction by the normal force. In this way, we can calculate the coefficient of friction.
The process of solving this problem can be seen in the attached image.
