Question

A 5 kg ball is thrown straight up in the air with an initial speed of 15 m/s. What is the momentum of the ball at: the beginning, half way up, maximum height? What is the impulse delivered to a 0.1 kg ball that is initially at rest, and reaches a speed of 5 m/s after it is struck? What is the moment of inertia of a disk, cylinder, and sphere rotating about an axis through their center? Let the mass and radius of each be 5 kg and 2 m respectively. What is the angular momentum of the disk, cylinder, and sphere mentioned in question 3, rotating at 5 rads/s about an axis through their centers? In a hurry to catch a cab, you rush through a frictionless swinging door and onto the sidewalk. The force you exerted on the door was 50 N, applied perpendicularly to the plane of the door. The door is 1 m wide. Assuming that you pushed the door at its edge, what was the torque on the door with its hinge as the pivot?

Explanation / Answer

(1). Mass m = 5 kg

Initial velocity u = 15 m/s

Maximum height reached H = u 2 / 2g

                                           = 15 2 / (2x9.8)

                                           = 11.47 m

Let the Velocity at half way be v .

Initial velocity u =15 m/s

Distance trvael S = H / 2 = 11.47 / 2 = 5.739 m

Accleration a = -g = -9.8 m/s 2

From the relation v 2 - u 2 = 2aS

                            v 2 - 15 2 = 2(-9.8)(5.739

                                    v 2 = 225 - 112.5

                                         = 112.5

                                      v = 10.6 m/s

(a).momentum of the ball at the begining P = mu = 5(15) = 75 kg m/s

(b). Momentum of the ball at halfway up , P ' = mv = 5(10.6) = 53 kg m/s

(c). Momentum of the ball at the top , P " = mV

Where V = Velocity of the ball at the top = 0

So, P " = m(0) = 0 kg m/s
