A 54 kg man holding a 0.65 kg ball stands on a frozen pond next to a wall. He throws the ball at the wall with a speed of 12.1 m

/s (relative to the ground) and then catches the ball after it rebounds from the wall. How fast is he moving after he catches the ball? Ignore the projectile motion of the ball, and assume that it loses no energy in its collision with the wall. Answer in units of m/s.

Response:

The man's speed is 0.144 m/s

Explanation:

This exemplifies conservation of momentum.

The momentum of the ball prior to being caught must equal the momentum of the man-ball system after catching the ball.

Mass of the ball = 0.65 kg

Mass of the man = 54 kg

Speed of the ball = 12.1 m/s

The momentum of the ball before impact can be calculated as mass multiplied by velocity

= 0.65 x 12.1 = 7.865 kg-m/s

After catching the ball, the momentum of the combined system is

(0.65 + 54)Vf = 54.65Vf

Where Vf denotes their final shared velocity.

Setting the initial momentum equal to the final momentum,

7.865 = 54.65Vf

Vf = 7.865/54.65 = 0.144 m/s

In broad daylight, the size of your pupil is typically 3 mm. In dark situations, it expands to about 7 mm. How much more light c
Sav [3153]

Answer:

31.4 mm²

Explanation:

The ability of a telescope or eye to gather light can be expressed by the formula,

GDP=\pi } \frac{d^{2} }{4}

where d signifies the diameter of the pupil.

In bright daylight, the usual size of the pupil is 3 mm.

GDP_{b} =\pi \frac{3^{2} }{4}

Conversely, in darkness, the diameter typically enlarges to 7 mm.

GDP_{b} =\pi \frac{7^{2} }{4}

This indicates an increase in light-gathering capacity.

Increase=\pi \frac{49}{4} -\pi \frac{9}{4} \\Increase=31.4 mm^{2}

Thus, the amount of light the eye can capture is 31.4 mm².

A solid uniform disk of diameter 3.20 m and mass 42 kg rolls without slipping to the ) bottom of a hill, starting from rest. If
kicyunya [3294]

Answer:

(A) = 3.57 m

Explanation:

According to the question, the information provided is:

diameter (d) = 3.2 m

mass (m) = 42 kg

angular speed (ω) = 4.27 rad/s

Using the conservation of energy principle, we have

mgh = 0.5 mv² + 0.5Iω²...equation 1

where

Inertia (I) = 0.5mr²

ω = v/r

Revising equation 1, it turns into

mgh = 0.5 mv² + 0.5(0.5mr²)(v/r)²

resulting in gh = 0.5 v² + 0.5(0.5)v²

This simplifies to 4gh = 2v² + v²

thus h = 3v² ÷ 4g... equation 2

Given ω = v/r, we find v = ωr = 4.27 × (3.2 ÷ 2)

which yields v = 6.8 m/s

Next, substituting the value of v into equation 2 gives us

h = 3v² ÷ 4g

h = 3 × (6.8)² ÷ (4 × 9.8)

h = 3.57 m

A 40-cm-diameter, 300 g beach ball is dropped with a 4.0 mg ant riding on the top. The ball experiences air resistance, but the
serg [3582]

Response:

The normal force acting on the ant is 0.75 N.

Explanation:

Provided;

the diameter of the ball, D = 40 cm = 0.4 m

radius of the ball, r = 0.2 m

weight of the beach ball, m₁ = 300 g = 0.3 kg

weight of the ant, m₂ = 4 x 10⁻⁶ kg

velocity of the ball, v = 4 m/s

The area of a spherical ball is given by;

A = 4πr²

A = 4π(0.2)² = 0.5027 m²

The drag force (resistance) encountered by the spherical ball is given as;

F_D = \frac{1}{2}C\rho Av^2

where;

C is the drag coefficient of the spherical ball = 0.45

ρ is the air density = 1.21 kg/m³

F_D = \frac{1}{2}C\rho Av^2\\\\F_D = \frac{1}{2}(0.45)(1.21) (0.5027)(4)^2\\\\F_D = 2.19 \ N

The downward force from the ball caused by its weight and that of the ant is given by;

F_g = mg\\\\F_g =g(m_{ant} + m_{ball})\\\\F_g = g(4*10^{-6} \ kg\ + \ 0.3\ kg)\\\\F_g = g(0.300004 \ kg) \ \ \ (mass \ of \ the \ ant \ is \ insignificant)\\\\F_g = 9.8(0.3)\\\\F_g = 2.94 \ N

The resultant downward force acting on the ball is given by;

F_{net} = F_g - F_D\\\\F_{net} = 2.94 \ N - 2.19 \ N\\\\F_{net} = 0.75 \ N

This downward force is equal to the normal reaction it applies to the ant.

Consequently, the normal force impacting the ant is 0.75 N.

Antireflection coatings can be used on the inner surfaces of eyeglasses to reduce the reflection of stray light into the eye, th
Maru [3345]

Answer:

a) n = 1.33, b)  t = 87 10⁻⁹ m

Explanation:

In Part A.

The very thin anti-reflection layer needs to induce destructive interference for the targeted wavelength.

      2t sin θ = (m + ½) λₙ

The factor of 2 comes from the path of light inside the film, where λₙ is the wavelength adjusted for the film's refractive index

      λₙ =  λ₀ / n

      2t = (m + ½) λ₀ / n

      n = (m+ ½) λ₀/2t

Assuming we are evaluating the first interference order, where m = 0

     n = (½ 480 10-9)/ 2 90

     n = 1.33

In Part B

We may not have the exact refractive index for the glass, but it generally approximates around 1.5; since the film's index is less, it incurs no phase alteration.

      2t = (m + ½) λ₀ / n

      t = 1/4 480 10⁻⁹ / 1.38

      t = 87 10⁻⁹ m
