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.

Answer:

C) True. The distance S increases over time, with v₁ = gt and v₂ = g (t-t₀), illustrating that v₁> v₂ for the same t.

Explanation:

We have a set of statements to evaluate for correctness. The most effective approach is to examine the problem in detail.

Using the equation for vertical launch, we acknowledge that the positive direction signifies downward movement.

Stone 1

    y₁ = v₀₁ t + ½ g t²

    y₁ = 0 + ½ g t²

Stone 2

Released shortly thereafter, let's assume a delay of one second, we can utilize the same timing mechanism

     t ’= (t-t₀)

    y₂ = v₀₂ t ’+ ½ g t’²

    y₂ = 0 + ½ g (t-t₀)²

    y₂ = + ½ g (t-t₀)²

We can now calculate the separation distance between the two stones, which is applicable for t> = to

    S = y₁ -y₂

    S = ½ g t²– ½ g (t-t₀)²

    S = ½ g [t² - (t² - 2 t t₀ + t₀²)]  

    S = ½ g (2 t t₀ - t₀²)

    S = ½ g t₀ (2 t - t₀)

This represents the distance between the two stones over time, with the coefficient outside the parentheses being constant.

For t < to, the first stone remains stationary while the distance grows.

For t > = to, the expression (2t/to-1) yields a value greater than 1, indicating that the distance expands as time progresses.

We can now analyze the different statements

A) false. The height difference increases over time.

B) False S increases.

C) It is true that S increases over time, with v₁ = gt and V₂ = g (t-t₀) indicating v₁> v₂ at the same t.
