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.

What is the momentum of a 200 kg truck travelling at 20 m/s?
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

p = 4000 kg-m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of a truck, m = 200 kg

Speed of the truck, v = 20 m/s

We need to find the momentum of the truck. The formula for momentum is given by :

p = mv

so,

p=200\times 20\\\\p=4000\ kg-m/s

So, the momentum of the truck is equal to 4000 kg-m/s.

Can someone explain to me #4.
nalin [4]
A) We balance the masses: 4(1.00728) vs 4.0015 + 2(0.00055)4.02912 vs. 4.0026This shows a "reduced mass" of 4.02912 - 4.0026 = 0.02652 amu. This is also equivalent to 0.02652/6.02E23 = 4.41E-26 g = 4.41E-29 kg.
b) Using E = mc^2, where c is the speed of light, multiplying 4.41E-29 kg by (3E8 m/s)^2 gives 3.96E-12 J of energy.
c) Since in the original equation, there is only 1 helium atom, we multiply the energy result in b) by 9.21E19 to get 3.65E8 J of energy, or 365 MJ of energy.
