Answer:

2 m/s

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of momentum,

Total momentum before collision = total momentum after collision

mu+m'u' = V(m+m') .................................Equation 1

Where m = mass of the first player, u = initial speed of the first player, m' = mass of the second player, u' = initial speed of the second player, V = combined speed of both players.

Making V the subject of the equation,

V = (mu+m'u')/(m+m')................ Equation 2

Note: Taking the direction of the first player as positive.

Given: m = 75 kg, m' = 100 kg, u = 6 m/s, u' = -8 m/s (opposite the first player),

Substituting into equation 2

V = [(75×6)+(100×(--8))]/(75+100)

V = (450-800)/175

V = 350/175

V = - 2 m/s.

Note: The negative signs tells that the combined speed is in the direction of the second player.

Hence the combined speed of the two players = 2 m/s

"Two long parallel wires 24.0 cm apart carry currents of 3.0 A and 8.0 A in the same direction. How far from the wire carrying 3
avanturin [10]

Answer:

6.5454 m

Explanation:

Let the distance from the wire carrying 3 A current is x

Then the distance from the the carrying current 8 A is 24-x

We know that magnetic field due to long wire is given by B=\frac{\mu _0i}{2\pi r}

It is given that magnetic field is zero at some distance so

\frac{\mu _0i_1}{2\pi x}=\frac{\mu _0i_2}{2\pi (24-x)}

Here i_1=3\ A \ and\  i_2=8\ A

So \frac{3}{x}=\frac{8}{24-x}=6.5454\ m

A 4.40-kilogram hoop starts from rest at a height 1.70 m above the base of an inclined plane and rolls down under the influence
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

The linear velocity is  v=4.08m/s

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy

   The potential energy possessed by the  hoop at the top of the inclined plane is converted to the kinetic energy at the foot of the inclined plane

        The kinetic energy can be mathematically represented as

                    KE = \frac{mv^2}{2} + \frac{Iw}{2}

Where I is the moment of inertia possessed by the hoop  which is mathematically represented as

                 I = mr^2

Here R is the radius of the hoop

         w is the angular velocity which the hoop has at the bottom of the lower part of the inclined plane which is mathematically represented as

                          w = \frac{v}{r}

Where v linear speed of the hoop's center of mass just as the hoop leaves the incline and rolls onto a horizontal surface

      Now expressing the above statement mathematically

            potential \ energy = \frac{mv^2}{y} + \frac{Iw^2}{2}

               mgh = \frac{mv^2}{y} + \frac{Iw^2}{2}

=>            mgh =\frac{mv^2}{2} + \frac{(mr^2)(\frac{v}{r})^2 }{2}  

=>          mgh = \frac{mv^2}{2} + \frac{mv^2}{2}

=>           mgh = mv^2

=>              v = \sqrt{gh}

Substituting values

                v = \sqrt{9.81 * 1.7}

                  v=4.08m/s
