A friend throws a heavy ball toward you while you are standing on smooth ice. You can either catch the ball or deflect it back t

oward your friend. Which of the following options will maximize your speed right after your interaction with the ball? You should catch the ball. You should deflect the ball back toward your friend at the same speed with which it hit your hand. You should let the ball go past you without touching it. It doesn’t matter—your speed is the same regardless of what you do. You should deflect the ball back toward your friend at half the speed with which it hit your hand.

Answer:

Explanation:

My speed after the interaction will depend upon the impulse the ball will make on me . Now impulse can be expressed as follows

Impulse = change in momentum

change in momentum in the ball will be maximum when the ball bounces back with the same velocity which can be shown as follows

change in momentum = mv - ( - mv ) = 2mv

So when ball is bounced back with same velocity , it suffers greatest impulse from my hand . In return ,  it reacts with the same impulse on my hand pushing me with greatest impulse according to third law of motion. this maximizes my speed after the interaction.

Two identical carts travel at the same speed toward each other, and then a collision occurs. The graphs show the momentum of eac
madam [21]

Explanation :

The interaction between two objects is termed as the collision. The collision can be of two types i.e. elastic collision and inelastic collision.

In this case, two identical carts travel at the same speed toward each other, and then a collision occurs. In an inelastic collision, the momentum before and after the collision remains the same but its kinetic energy gets lost.

After the collision, both the object sticks over each other and moves with one velocity.

Out of the given graph, the graph that shows a perfectly inelastic collision is attached. It shows that after the collision both the carts move with the same velocity.

Write the equivalent formulas for velocity, acceleration, and force using the relationships covered for UCM, Newton’s Laws, and
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

The newton’s second law is F=ma

The Gravitational force is F=\dfrac{Gm_{1}m_{2}}{r^2}

Explanation:

Given that,

The equivalent formulas for velocity, acceleration, and force using the relationships covered for UCM, Newton’s Laws, and Gravitation.

We know that,

Velocity :

The velocity is equal to the rate of position of the object.

v=\dfrac{dx}{dt}....(I)

Acceleration :

The acceleration is equal to the rate of velocity of the object.

a=\dfrac{dv}{dt}....(II)

Newton’s second Laws

The force is equal to the change in momentum.

In mathematically,

F=\dfrac{d(p)}{dt}

Put the value of p

F=\dfrac{d(mv)}{dt}

F=m\dfrac{dv}{dt}

Put the value from equation (II)

F=ma

This is newton’s second laws.

Gravitational force :

The force is equal to the product of mass of objects and divided by square of distance.

In mathematically,

F=\dfrac{Gm_{1}m_{2}}{r^2}

Where, m₁₂ = mass of first object

m= mass of second object

r = distance between both objects

Hence, The newton’s second law is F=ma

The Gravitational force is F=\dfrac{Gm_{1}m_{2}}{r^2}

You start with spring that's already been stretched an unknown amount from equilibrium. After stretching it an additional 2.0 cm
maxonik [38]

Answer: 35*10^3 N/m

Explanation: In order to explain this problem we know that the potential energy for spring is given by:

Up=1/2*k*x^2 where k is the spring constant and x is the streching or compresion position from the equilibrium point for the spring.

We  also know that with additional streching of 2 cm of teh spring,  the potential energy is 18J. Then it applied another additional streching of 2 cm and the energy is 25J.

Then the difference of energy for both cases is 7 J so:

ΔUp= 1/2*k* (0.02)^2 then

k=2*7/(0.02)^2=35000 N/m

A rectangular block weighs 240 N. the area of the block in contact with the floor is 20 cm2.calculate the pressure on the floor(
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

12 N/cm²

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Weight (W) of block = 240 N

Area (A) = 20 cm²

Pressure (P) =?

Next, we shall determine the force exerted by the block. This can be obtained as follow:

Weight (W) of block = 240 N

Force (F) =.?

Weight and force has the same unit of measurement. Thus, we force applied is equivalent to the weight of the block. Thus,

Force (F) = Weight (W) of block = 240 N

Force (F) = 240 N

Finally, we shall determine the pressure on the floor as follow:

Force (F) = 240 N

Area (A) = 20 cm²

Pressure (P) =?

P = F/A

P = 240 / 20

P = 12 N/cm²

Therefore, the pressure on the floor is 12 N/cm².
