Chapter 1: Q2DQ (page 262)

Suppose you catch a baseball and then someone invites you to catch a bowling ball with either the same momentum or the same kinetic energy as the baseball. Which would you choose? Explain.

Short Answer

Expert verified

We will choose the case that the bowling ball with less momentum because momentum determines the force needed to stop its motion

Step by step solution

01

Concept of momentum and kinetic energy

Momentum is created by multiplying a particle's mass by its speed.

鈬�P=mv

A particle or an item that is in motion has a sort of energy called kinetic energy. Which is given by,

鈬�K=12mv2

02

Finding that which is more suitable either the same momentum or the same kinetic energy

From step 1, we have

P = mv andK=12mv2

If the momentum is same,

From above 2 equations,

K=P22m

So, we can say that a massive bowling ball will have less kinetic energy

If the kinetic energy is the same then we have,

P=2m.K

So, we can say that a bowling ball will have greater momentum than a baseball.

The momentum of an object determines the force needed to stop it.

Here, we cannot choose less momentum. So, we choose the same momentum.

A shower head has 20 circular openings, each with radius 1.0 mm. The shower head is connected to a pipe with radius 0.80 cm. If the speed of water in the pipe is 3.0 m/s, what is its speed as it exits the shower-head openings?

A Simple Reaction-Time Test.A meter stick is held vertically above your hand, with the lower end between your thumb and first finger. When you see the meter stick released, you grab it with those two fingers. You can calculate your reaction time from the distance the meter stick falls, read directly from the point where your fingers grabbed it. (a) Derive a relationship for your reaction time in terms of this measured distance, d. (b) If the measured distance is 17.6 cm, what is your reaction time?

A hammer with mass m is dropped from rest from a height h above the earth鈥檚 surface. This height is not necessarily small compared with the radiusof the earth. Ignoring air resistance, derive an expression for the speed v of the hammer when it reaches the earth鈥檚 surface. Your expression should involve h,, and(the earth鈥檚 mass).

How many years older will you be 1.00 gigasecond from now? (Assume a 365-day year.)

For a spherical planet with mass M, volume V, and radius R,derive an expression for the acceleration due to gravity at the planet鈥檚 surface, g, in terms of the average density of the planet, 蚁=M/V, and the planet鈥檚 diameter, D=2R. The table gives the values of Dand gfor the eight major planets:

(a) Treat the planets as spheres. Your equation for as a function of and shows that if the average density of the planets is constant, a graph of versus will be well represented by a straight line. Graph as a function of for the eight major planets. What does the graph tell you about the variation in average density? (b) Calculate the average density for each major planet. List the planets in order of decreasing density, and give the calculated average density of each. (c) The earth is not a uniform sphere and has greater density near its center. It is reasonable to assume this might be true for the other planets. Discuss the effect this nonuniformity has on your analysis. (d) If Saturn had the same average density as the earth, what would be the value of at Saturn鈥檚 surface?
