- Q16. As shown in the image below, the 0.9-kg ball strikes the rough ground and rebounds. The directions of its velocities before and after the strike are shown. If the speeds are v = 23 m/s and v2 = 11 m/s, determine the magnitude of the ball's linear momentum (in kg-m/s) before it strikes the ground. Please pay attention: the numbers may change since they are randomized. Your answer must include 1 place after the decimal point. V2 V1 45° 30° Your Answer: Answerarrow_forward2. At the figure shown, object A and B was released at the same time. Object A has an initial velocity of 3m/s . If object A and B strikes each other at a horizontal distance of 30m, detemine (a) initial velocity of B (b) time when the two objects reached the ground (c) vertical distance at which particle A is launched.

Where will the ball be 1.2 seconds after it is kicked? b. What will be the greatest height reached by the ball? c. Where will the ball land?arrow_forward
- 2. A block travels past point A with a speed of 8 m/s along a smooth surface until it reaches a rough surface of length L=20 m and a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.8. If the height h₁ = 8 m, and h₂ = 3 m. Determine (A) the speed of the block at point B (B) whether the speed at point C (C) reaches point D. If so, what is the speed at point D, if not, how far is the rough surface that cross the beam?arrow_forward4. Determine the constant speed at which B must run and the distance d in order to make the catch at the same elevation at which the ball was hit, units in feet/second and feet respectively. The baseball player A hits the baseball at VA = 12,192 mm/sec and e, = 60° from the horizontal. When the ball is directly overhead of player B he begins to run under it. -15 ftarrow_forward3 Problem At the "before" instant shown below, a soccer ball of mass m is rolling horizontally to the left with speed v₁. A soccer player then kicks the ball as shown in the "after" instant, such that it leaves her foot with speed v2 making an angle with the horizontal. The ball just clears her opponent's head (at height h) when it reaches the apex of its projectile trajectory. Assume no drag during the projectile motion. The gravitaitonal acceleration is g. Question: If the soccer player foot makes contact with the ball for T seconds, what is the mag- nitude of the average force vector Favg that her foot exerts on the ball?

- A physics teacher performs three different collision experiments in class.He uses two dynamics carts on an aluminum (frictionless) track.The red cart has a mass of 0.486kg and moves to the right with a speed of 0.255m/s.The blue cart has a mass of 0.267kg and moves to the left with a speed of 0.495m/s. a.In the first collision, the carts have Velcrostuck on the front of them. The carts stick to each other upon impact.Find the final velocity of the two carts after they have stuck together. b.In the second collision, the impact is cushioned by magnets on the fronts of the carts. The magnets do not provide a perfectly elastic collision.After the carts bounce away from each other, the red cart moves to the left with a speed of 0.205m/s.Determine the final velocity of the blue cart. c.In the third collision, the collision is cushioned by a hook’s law spring, which provides a perfectly elastic collision. i.Determine the final velocity of each cartafter the spring recoils (after it compresses…arrow_forwardQ4: A stone A is dropped from rest down a well, and in 1 s another stone B is dropped from rest.

The directions of its velocities before and after the strike are shown. If the speeds are v₁ = 28 m/s and v₂ = 15 m/s, determine the magnitude of the ball's linear momentum (in kg-m/s) before it strikes the ground.
