A 50.0-g Super Ball traveling at 30.0 m/s bounces off a brick wall and rebounds at 16.0 m/s. A high-speed camera records this event. If the ball is in contact with the wall for 4.60 ms, what is the magnitude of the average acceleration of the ball during this time interval?

During the process, the ropes snap and the couch, which is 12.0 m above the ground, falls to the ground below. Her friends, who are both 1.50 m tall, notice the accident when the couch is directly above them. Determine the time they have to get out of the way.arrow_forwardA firecracker moves vertically upward and after reaching the highest point in its vertical trajectory, it starts falling down. After it falls down by 17.7 meters in air it cracks into two identical pieces. One of the pieces shoots off horizontally with 11.8 m/s speed. What would be the magnitude of the velocity of the other piece right after they split? Enter your answer in m/s. On your paper, show both your calculation for the magnitude and also the direction of the velocity vector of the second piece. Show your work in detail including your physics- based reasoning.arrow_forward
- A child is driving a 1.88 kg remote control car around a local park. The car begins at rest and travels for 90.0 seconds. At the end of this time, the car has travelled 25.5 m in the x direction and 42.0 m in the y direction. You may assume the car has constant acceleration over the 90.0 seconds.arrow_forwardB3arrow_forwardA person throws a ball with speed 102 m/s at a 45° angle. How many seconds faster would the ball arrive if the person threw the ball at the same speed and the same distance but made the trip in two identical bumps. Assume that there is no loss of speed at the bounce. Hint: Use R = v2/g * sin(2θ) and t=2*vy(sinθ)/g.arrow_forward
