Two football players collide head-on in midair while trying to catch a thrown football and cling together. The first player is 9

4 kg and has an initial velocity of 6 m/s, while the second player is 116 kg and has an initial velocity of -5 m/sn the next three parts, (d) through (f), justify that friction could be ignored compared to the forces of collision by considering the change in momentum of the first player. Let's assume that the collision lasts for 10ms. Calculate the force on the first player by the second player during the collision

Answer:

F = 57116.2 N

Explanation:

As we know that during collision the force between two players due to all external factors is very small or negligible

So we can use momentum conservation to find the final common speed

m_1v_1 + m_2v_2 = (m_1 + m_2) v

so we have

94(6) + (116)(-5) = (94 + 116) v

v = -0.076 m/s

now we can find acceleration which is defined as rate of change in velocity

So it is given as

a = \frac{v_F - v_i}{\Delta t}

a = \frac{-0.076 - 6}{10 \times 10^{-3}}

a = - 607.62 m/s^2

Now force on first player is given as

F = ma

F = 94 \times (607.62)

F = 57116.2 N

[I researched for you, since I am not in that particular level to know that knowledge yet. I assure this is accurate info :)]

The answer is A, red.
"Remember, the color you see is light REFLECTING off the surface of that object. If all colors are absorbed in to the surface EXCEPT red, red must be reflected, and you'll see red." - Yahoo User @Chap

The Reynolds number, rho VD/mu, is a very important parameter in fluid mechanics. Verify that the Reynolds number is dimensionle
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

Re = 1 10⁴

Explanation:

Reynolds number is

         Re = ρ v D /μ

The units of each term are

       ρ = [kg / m³]

       v = [m / s]

      D = [m]

      μ = [Pa s]

The pressure

      Pa = [N / m²] = [Kg m / s²] 1 / [m²] = [kg / m s²]

      μ = [Pa s] = [kg / m s²] [s] = [kg / m s]

We substitute the units in the equation

      Re = [kg / m³] [m / s] [m] / [kg / m s]

      Re = [kg / m s] / [m s / kg]

      RE = [ ]

Reynolds number is a scalar

Let's evaluate for the given point

Where the data for methane are:

viscosity       μ = 11.2 10⁻⁶ Pa s

the density  ρ = 0.656 kg / m³

       D = 2 in (2.54 10⁻² m / 1 in) = 5.08 10⁻² m

       Re = 0.656 4 2 5.08 10⁻² /11.2 10⁻⁶

       Re = 1.19 10⁴

where the units of x are length and the numbers 2.6 and 5.1 have appropriate units so that U(x) has units of energy. What is the
KiRa [710]

Answer:

x = 1.00486 m

Explanation:

The complete question is:

" The potential energy between two atoms in a particular molecule has the form U(x) =(2.6)/x^8 −(5.1)/x^4 where the units of x are length and the num- bers 2.6 and 5.1 have appropriate units so that U(x) has units of energy. What is the equilibrium separation of the atoms (that is the distance at which the force between the atoms is zero)?  "

Solution:

- The correlation between force F and energy U is given as:

                                  F = - dU / dx

                                  F = - d[(2.6)/x^8 −(5.1)/x^4] / dx  

                                  F = 20.8 / x^9 - 20.4 / x^5

- The equilibrium separation distance between atoms is given when Force F is zero:

                                  0 = 20.8 / x^9 - 20.4 / x^5

                                  0 = 20.8 - 20.4*x^4

                                  x^4 = 20.8/20.4

                                  x = ( 20.8/20.4 )^0.25

                                  x = 1.00486 m
