You are standing on a sheet of ice that covers the football stadium parking lot in Buffalo; there is negligible friction between your feet and the ice. A friend throws you a 0.370kg ball that is traveling horizontally at 9.00m/s . Your mass is 67.5kg .
Part A:If you catch the ball, with what speed do you and the ball move afterwards?
Part B:If the ball hits you and bounces off your chest, so that afterwards it is moving horizontally at 8.25
m/s in the opposite direction, what is your speed after the collision?In: Physics

If you travel by starship to the center of the galaxy, such that you arrive within a subjective human lifespan, how much radiation damage will you suffer from the interstellar “vacuum” (i.e., from the atoms in interstellar space)? Assume that special relativity holds and ignore the problems of accelerating and decelerating the spacecraft.

A tall tree is growing across a river from you. You would like to know the distance between yourself and the tree,as well as its height, but are unable to make the measurements directly. However, by using a mirror to form an image of the tree and then measuring the image distance and the image height, you can calculate the distance to the tree as well as its height. Suppose that this mirror produces an image of the sun, and the image is located 0.8610 m from the mirror. The same mirror is then used to produce an image of the tree. The image of the tree is 0.9902 m from the mirror. (a) How far away is the tree? (b) The image height of the tree has a magnitude of 0.20 m. How tall is the tree?

A proton beam is used to irradiate a tumor. The beam is created starting with hydrogen gas, ripping off the electrons, and extracting the protons in an electric field. The protons are accelerated from approximately rest across a potential difference totaling 8.3 million Volts. The speed of the protons after acceleration is …

Two 14-cm-diameter electrodes 0.44 cm apart form a parallel-plate capacitor. The electrodes are attached by metal wires to the terminals of a 20 V battery.
A. What are the charge on each electrode, the electric field strength inside the capacitor, and the potential difference between the electrodes while the capacitor is attached to the battery? Find Q, E, and ∆V.
B. What are the charge on each electrode, the electric field strength inside the capacitor, and the potential difference between the electrodes after insulating handles are used to pull the electrodes away from each other until they are 0.88 cm apart? The electrodes remain connected to the battery during this process. Find Q, E, and ∆V.
C. What are the charge on each electrode, the electric field strength inside the capacitor, and the potential difference between the electrodes after the original electrodes (not the modified electrodes of part B) are expanded until they are 28 cm in diameter while remaining connected to the battery? Find Q, E, and ∆V.
