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

A lion has a mass of 45 kg. Answer the following questions about it, using correct units. a. The lion runs at a speed of 14.2 m/
Eva8 [605]
A) The kinetic energy of an object is given by:
K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2
where m is the mass of the object, and v its speed. For the lion in our problem, m=45 kg and v=14.2 m/s, so its kinetic energy is
K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2= \frac{1}{2}(45 kg)(14.2 m/s)^2=4537 J

b) the increase in gravitational potential energy of the lion is given by:
\Delta U = mg \Delta h
where g is the gravitational acceleration, and \Delta h is the increase in altitude of the lion. In this problem, \Delta h=28 m, so the increase in gravitational potential energy is
\Delta U=mg \Delta h=(45 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(28 m)=12361 J

c) When the fox reaches the top of the tree, its gravitational potential energy is
U=mgh=(1.8 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(3.8 m)=67 J
As it jumps, its kinetic energy is
K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2= \frac{1}{2}(1.8 kg)(8.1 m/s)^2=59 J
So the total mechanical energy of the fox as it jumps is
E=U+K=67 J + 59 J =126 J

A supertanker filled with oil has a total mass of 6.1 x108 kg. If the dimensions of the ship are those of a rectangular box 300
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

The bottom of the sea is 25 m below sea level.

Explanation:

Given data

Mass = 6.1 × 10^{8} \ kg

\rho_{sea} = 1020\  \frac{kg}{m^{3} }

We know that Buoyant force on the tank is equal to gravity force of the tank.

F_B = F_g

(\rho_{Fluid}) (g) (V_{disp}) = m g

(\rho_{Fluid})  (V_{disp}) = m

1020 × V_{disp} = 6.1 × 10^{8}

V_{disp} = 598039.21 m^{3}

We know that

V_{disp} = W × L × H

598039.21 = 300 × 80 × H

H = 25 m

Therefore the bottom of the sea is 25 m below sea level.

A 6.00 A current runs through a 12-gauge copper wire (diameter 2.05 mm) and through a light bulb. Copper has 8.5×1028 free elect
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Current, I = 6 A

diameter of wire, d = 2.05 mm

number of electrons per unit volume, n = 8.5 x 10^28

If the diameter is doubled,

The resistance of the wire is inversely proportional to the square of the diameter of the wire, so the resistance is  one forth an the current is directly proportional to the diameter of the wire so the current is four times the initial value.

Help me with this???
Vikentia [17]

Yo sup??

Average velocity=total distance covered/total time taken

total distance covered=4 + 8=12 miles

total time taken=6 hours

Therefore

average velocity=12/6

=2 miles/hour

Hope this helps
