Two experiments are performed on an object to determine how much the object resists a change in its state of motion while at res

t and while in motion. In the first experiment, the object is pushed with a constant known force along a horizontal surface. There is negligible friction between the surface and the object. A motion sensor is used to measure the speed of the object as it is pushed. In a second experiment, the object is tied to a string and pulled upward with a constant known force, and a motion sensor is used to measure the speed of the object as it is pulled upward. The student uses the data collected from the motion sensor to determine the mass of the object in both experiments.

Answer:

The first experiment measures inertial mass, while the second experiment measures gravitational mass.

Explanation:

A student conducts two different experiments to observe resistance to changes in motion, both when at rest and in motion.

In the initial experiment, an object is forcefully pushed against a flat surface while its speed is tracked by a sensor. This setup involves work done against the object's inertia, identifying the mass as inertial mass.

Conversely, in the subsequent experiment, the object is lifted or thrown upward with an applied force and the speed is recorded. Here, the mass refers to gravitational mass, as the work performed combats gravity or the object's weight.

During a snowball fight two balls with masses of 0.4 and 0.6 kg, respectively, are thrown in such a manner that they meet head-o
Yuliya22 [2420]

Answer:

The snowball's speed after the impact is 3 m/s

Explanation:

Given the following:

mass of each ball

m₁ = 0.4 Kg

m₂ = 0.6 Kg

initial speed of both balls = v₁ = 15 m/s

Speed of 1 Kg mass post-collision =?

Applying conservation of momentum

m₁ v₁ - m₂ v₁ = (m₁+m₂) V

A negative velocity indicates that the second ball moves in the opposite direction.

0.4 x 15 - 0.6 x 15 = (1) V

Therefore,

V = - 3 m/s

Consequently,

The snowball's speed following the collision is 3 m/s

A bowling pin is thrown vertically upward such that it rotates as it moves through the air, as shown in the figure. Initially, t
Ostrovityanka [2204]

Answer:

Explanation:

The equation used to determine the maximum height of the bowling pin during its trajectory is given by;

H = u²/2g

where u, the initial speed/velocity, equals 10m/s

g stands for gravitational acceleration = 9.81m/s²

Substituting in the values gives us

H = 10²/2(9.81)

H = 100/19.62

Consequently, the highest point of the bowling pin's center of mass is approximately 5.0m.

A baseball player exerts a force of 100 N on a ball for a distance of 0.5 mas he throws it. If the ball has a mass of 0.15 kg, w
Keith_Richards [2256]
25.82 m/s Explanation: Given: Force applied by the baseball player; F = 100 N Distance the ball travels; d = 0.5 m Mass of the ball; m = 0.15 kg To find the velocity at which the ball is released, we will equate the work done with the kinetic energy involved. It's important to recognize that work done reflects the energy the baseball player has used. Thus, the relationship can be represented as follows: F × d = ½mv² 100 × 0.5 = ½ × 0.15 × v² Solving gives: v² = (2 × 100 × 0.5) / 0.15 v² = 666.67 v = √666.67 v = 25.82 m/s.

Use the formula t = (0.25) s1/2 to find the time t in seconds it will take a stone to drop a distance s of 200 feet. Round your
inna [2205]

Answer:

The duration, t = 3.53 seconds

Explanation:

The following information is provided:

The equation to calculate the time t is expressed as:

t=(0.25)s^{1/2}...... (1)

Where

s denotes the distance in feet

We are to determine the duration taken by the stone to fall a distance of 200 feet, where s = 200 feet

Substituting the value of s into equation (1) yields:

t=(0.25)\times (200)^{1/2}

t = 3.53 seconds

Thus, the time taken by the object is 3.53 seconds, which provides the required answer.
