Answer:

The resulting velocity for him will be 0.187 m/s in reverse direction.

Explanation:

Given:

The mass of the man is, M=75\ kg

The mass of the ball is, m=4\ kg

The initial velocity of the man is, u_m=0\ m/s(rest)

The initial velocity of the ball is, u_b=0\ m/s(rest)

The final velocity of the ball is, v_b=3.50\ m/s

The final velocity of the man is, v_m=?\ m/s

To determine this scenario, we employ the principle of momentum conservation.

This principle states that the total initial momentum equals the total final momentum.

Momentum is calculated by multiplying mass by velocity.

Initial momentum = Initial momentum of the man and the ball

Initial momentum = Mu_m+mu_b=75\times 0+4\times 0 =0\ Nm

Final momentum = Final momentum of the man and the ball

Final momentum = Mv_m+mv_b=75\times v_m+4\times 3.50 =75v_m+14

Hence, the total initial momentum equals the total final momentum

0=75v_m+14\\\\75v_m=-14\\\\v_m=\frac{-14}{75}\\\\v_m=-0.187\ m/s

The negative sign indicates that the man moves backward.

Thus, his final velocity ends up being 0.187 m/s backward.

A kangaroo jumps to a vertical height of 2.8 m. How long was it in the air before returning to earth
serg [2593]
The kangaroo reaches a maximum vertical altitude of 2.8 m, which can be calculated using the formula 2.8 = 1/2 * 9.8 * t^2. Thus, applying the equation s = ut + 1/2at^2.

Albert presses a book against a wall with his hand. As Albert gets tired, he exerts less force, but the book remains in the same
Maru [2337]

Answer:

the maximum static friction force of the wall acting on the book (Increasing)

the normal force of the wall acting on the book (Decreasing)

the weight of the book (Constant)

Explanation:

According to Newton's third law of motion:

"Every action has an equal and opposite reaction"

In the scenario provided, Albert is pressing the book against the wall and subsequently decreases the force applied against the wall.

Let's evaluate all forces influencing the book in this situation.

1. Weight of the book acting downwards (y-axis)

2. Friction from the book against the wall acting upwards (y-axis)

3. Albert’s force exerted on the book against the wall (x-axis)

4. Normal force of the wall reacting to Albert’s applied force (x-axis)

As Albert eases off his force, the new scenario reads:

1. The weight remains constant as represented by W = mg

Since neither mass nor gravitational acceleration has changed, the weight exerted on the book remains the same.

2. As Albert reduces his force, the wall’s normal reaction force decreases correspondingly, following Newton's third law of motion.

3. Friction operates in response to the force applied to it. With a box resting on the floor, no friction acts upon it until it is dragged, at which point friction begins to manifest and rise until it reaches its maximum. Therefore, when Albert diminishes his force, the weight's pull will influence the book and the maximum static friction will rise to resist the book’s downward movement.

It should be noted that the maximum static friction is working to prevent movement of the book. With Albert's force reduced, but the weight of the book unchanged, maximum static friction increases to prevent downward movement.

A person on a diet loses 1.6 kg in a week. How many micrograms/second (µg/s) are lost?
Sav [2217]
To calculate the rate, first convert units properly. Since 1 kilogram equals 1,000,000 micrograms, 1.6 kilograms is 1,600,000 micrograms. One week has 604,800 seconds. Therefore, dividing 1,600,000 micrograms by 604,800 seconds gives the rate. Simplifying, this results in 2.65 µg/s. I hope this answers your question.

Lamar has been running sprints to prepare for his next football game.He has found that he can maintain his maximum speed for 45
Sav [2217]

Answer:

Please refer to the explanation

Explanation:

Race distance is 5km

Top speed = 45 yards

Converting yards to kilometers:

1km equals 1093.613 yards

x = 45 yards

(1093.613 * x) = 45

x = 45 / 1093.613

x = 0.0411480 km

Where x indicates the maximum distance he can sustain his highest speed in kilometers.

Thus, from the data available, we can determine that Lamar will not be able to maintain his maximum speed for the full 5km race, as he can only sustain it for 0.0411 kilometers.

A bar magnet is dropped from above and falls through the loop of wire. The north pole of the bar magnet points downward towards
Ostrovityanka [2204]

Answer:

b. The loop's current consistently flows in a counterclockwise direction.

Explanation:

As a magnet descends through a wire loop, it generates an induced current within that loop. This induced current arises due to the magnet's movement, leading to a variation in magnetic flux. Lenz's law states that the induced current will act to counteract the change that produces it. In this scenario, the only feasible resistance to the magnet’s fall is through inducing a similar pole on the loop to counteract its downward motion. An induced current that circulates counterclockwise in the wire loop mimics the polarity of a northern pole, thereby repelling the magnet's descent. Furthermore, as the magnet passes the wire loop, this induced north pole will seek to attract the magnet's south end in an effort to halt its downward progression.
