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.

Identify the labeled parts in the figure.
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

I. a, c, f and h

II. e

III. b, d, g and i

IV. i

Explanation:

I. Chemical symbols are simple abbreviations used to represent various elements or compound. They consist entire of alphabet.

For the diagram given above, the labelled parts which represent chemical symbol are: a, c, f and h

II. Coefficients are numbers written before the chemical symbol of elements or compound.

For the diagram given above, the labelled part which represent Coefficient is: e

III. Number of atoms of element present in a compound is simply obtained by taking note of the numbers written as subscript in the chemical formula of the compound.

For the diagram given above, the labelled part which represent the number of atoms of the element are: b, d, g and i

IV. When no number is written as subscript in the formula of the element in the compound, it means the element has just 1 atom in the compound.

For the diagram given above, the labelled part which indicates that only 1 atom of the element is present is: i

What horizontally-applied force will accelerate a crate of mass 400 kg at 1 meter per second per second across a factory floor a
son4ous [18]

Answer:

The horizontally applied force = 2360 N

Explanation:

<em>Force:</em> Force can be defined as the product of mass and acceleration. the S.I unit of force is Newton (N)

Fh = Fr + ma......... Equation 1

Where Fh = horizontally applied force, Fr = friction force, m = mass of the crate, a = acceleration of the crate.

<em>Given: m = 400 kg, a = 1 m/s²</em>

Fr = 1/2 W, W = mg  ⇒W = 400×9.8 = 3920 N

∴Fr = 1/2(3920), Fr = 1960 N

Substituting these values into equation 1

Fh = 1960 + 400×1

Fh = 1960 + 400

Fh = 2360 N

Therefore the horizontally applied force = 2360 N
