An unwary football player collides with a padded goalpost while running at a velocity of 9.50 m/s and comes to a full stop after

Amanda [17]

Answer:

(a) The collision lasts for 0.053 s.

(b) The deceleration is 180.5 m/s².

Explanation:

Given:

Initial velocity of the player (u) = 9.50 m/s

Final velocity of the player (v) = 0 m/s (Comes to a stop)

Displacement of the player (S) = 0.250 m

We know that, using equation of motion relating displacement (S), acceleration (a), initial velocity (u) and final velocity (v), we have:

$v^2=u^2+2aS$

Expressing in terms of 'a', we get:

$a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2S}$

Plug in the given values and solve for 'a'. This gives,

$a=\frac{0-9.50^2}{2\times 0.250}\\\\a=\frac{-90.25}{0.5}=-180.5\ m/s^2$

Therefore, the acceleration of the player is -180.5 m/s². So, the deceleration is 180.5 m/s².

Now, using the first equation of motion, we have:

$v=u+at\\\\t=\frac{v-u}{a}$

Plug in the given values and solve for 't'. This gives,

$t=\frac{0-9.5}{-180.5}\\\\t=0.053\ s$

Therefore, the the collision will last for 0.053 s.

(a) The collision lasts for 0.053 s.

(b) The deceleration is 180.5 m/s².

Which of the following was used to provide the oldest measurement of Earth's age?

Viktor [21]

Answer:

Isotopic dating of meteor fragments

Explanation:

Earth is so old that its age can only be determined using isotopic dating. The oldest measurement of Earth's age was determined using isotopic dating of meteor fragments.

Assume that the force exerted on each crutch by the ground is directed along the crutch, as the force vectors in the drawing ind

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer: 43 degrees

Explanation:

The force of the crutch can be broken into components. The horizontal component of F is the static friction force keeping the crutch from sliding. The vertical component is opposing the weight and is the Normal force. Using the orientation of the angle q, we have the following

fs = Fx = F sin (angle (tita))

N = Fy = F cos (angle(tita))

Maximum angle implies maximum static friction

Therefore,

fsmax = UsN = Us x F cos(angle tita)

Where U = miyu

F sin(angle tita) = Us x Fcos (angle tita)

Sin (angle tita) / cos (angle tita) = Us

Therefore, tan (angle tita) = Us

Angle tita = tan^-1(Us) = tan^-1 (0.931) = 42.95 degrees = 43 degrees

There for Angle tita Max = 43 degrees

Students have a small steel ball and a large steel ball, and they have a short ramp and a tall ramp.

lozanna [386]

I would say it’s “B” for the reason that the student did not experiment with a short ramp and large ball as well as a large ramp and a short ball. They have to do those experiments as well before drawing their conclusion.
