Two football players collide head-on in midair while chasing a pass. The first player has a 92.5 kg mass and an initial velocity

of 5.50 m/s, while the second player has a 116 kg mass and initial velocity of -6 m/s. What is their velocity (in m/s) just after impact if they cling together? (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.)

Their velocity (in m/s) just after impact if they cling together is -0.9 m/s.

<h3>Final speed of the two players</h3>

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum;

Pi = Pf

where;

  • Pi is initial momentum of the players
  • Pf is final momentum of the players

(92.5)(5.5)  +  (116)(-6)  =  v(92.5 + 116)

508.75 - 696 = v(208.5)

-187.25 = 208.5v

v = -187.25/208.5

v = -0.9 m/s

Thus, their velocity (in m/s) just after impact if they cling together is -0.9 m/s.

A pickup truck has a width of 79.0 in. If it is traveling north at 42 m/s through a magnetic field with vertical component of
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

The magnitude of the induced Emf is 0.003371V

Explanation:

The width of the truck is given as 79inch but we need to convert to meter for consistency, then

The width= 79inch × 0.0254=2.0066 metres.

Now we can calculate the induced Emf using expresion below;

Then the induced EMF= B L v

Where B= magnetic field component

L= width

V= velocity

=(40*10^-6) × (42) × (2.0066)

=0.003371V

Therefore, the magnitude emf that is induced between the driver and passenger sides of the truck is 0.003371V

A block is being pulled by a rope in a straight line across a horizontal floor which is non frictionless. The rope is pulling on
ikadub [295]

Answer:

60 N

Explanation:

We can answer the question by using Newton's third law, which states that:

"When an object A exerts a force (called action) on an object B, then object B exerts an equal and opposite force (called reaction) on object A"

In this situation, we can identify the rope as object A, and the block as object B.

We are told that the rope exerts a force of 60 N on the block: if we apply Newton's third law, therefore, we can say that the block will also exert an equal (60 N) and opposite (in direction) force on the rope.

Tourists covered 255 km for a 4-hour ride by car and a 7-hour ride by train. what is the speed of the train, if it is 5 km/h gre
LekaFEV [45]
The distance covered by car is equal to (assuming it is moving by uniform motion) the product between the car's speed and the time of the car ride, 4 h:
S_c = v_c t_c
where
v_c is the car's speed
t_c = 4 h is the duration of the car ride

Similarly, the distance covered by train is equal to the product between the train's speed and the duration of the train ride, 7 h:
S_t = v_t t_t

The total distance covered is S=255 km, which is the sum of the distances covered by car and train:
S=255 km = S_c + S_t
which becomes
255 = 4 v_c + 7 v_t (1)
we also know that the train speed is 5 km/h greater than the car's speed:
v_t = 5 + v_c (2)

If we put (2) into (1), we find
255 = 4v_c + 7(5+v_c)
and if we solve it, we find
v_c = 20 km/h
v_t = 25 km/h

So, the car speed is 20 km/h and the train speed is 25 km/h.
