Fusion is the combination of particles to produce another entity with less mass compared to the individual nuclei. Hence, it is the process which yields large amounts of energy after the collision of light-weight elements. Examples of this process include deuterium-tritium<span> fusion and the formation of stars. </span>The answer is the second statement.

Calculate the final velocity right after a 117 kg rugby player who is initially running at 7.45 m/s collides head‑on with a padd

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

v_f = 0.87 m/s

Explanation:

We are given;

F_avg = -17700 N (negative because it's backward)

m = 117 kg

Δt = 5.50 × 10^(−2) s

v_i = 7.45 m/s

Now, formula for impulse is given by;

I = F•Δt = - 17700 x 5.50 × 10^(−2) = - 973.5 kg.m/s

From impulse momentum theory, we know that;

Change in momentum of particle is equal to impulse.

Thus,

Δp = I = m•v_f - m•v_i

Thus,

-973.5= 117(v_f - 7.45)

Thus,

-973.5/117 = (v_f - 7.45)

-8.3205 + 7.45 = v_f

v_f = - 0.87 m/s

We'll take absolute value as;

v_f = 0.87 m/s

An oscillator consists of a block attached to a spring (k = 427 N/m). At some time t, the position (measured from the system's e

White raven [17]

Answer:

a) 4.49Hz

b) 0.536kg

c) 2.57s

Explanation:

This problem can be solved by using the equation for he position and velocity of an object in a mass-string system:

$x=Acos(\omega t)\\\\v=-\omega Asin(\omega t)\\\\a=-\omega^2Acos(\omega t)$

for some time t you have:

x=0.134m

v=-12.1m/s

a=-107m/s^2

If you divide the first equation and the third equation, you can calculate w:

$\frac{x}{a}=\frac{Acos(\omega t)}{-\omega^2 Acos(\omega t)}\\\\\omega=\sqrt{-\frac{a}{x}}=\sqrt{-\frac{-107m/s^2}{0.134m}}=28.25\frac{rad}{s}$

with this value you can compute the frequency:

$f=\frac{\omega}{2\pi}=\frac{28.25rad/s}{2\pi}=4.49Hz$

the mass of the block is given by the formula:

$f=\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}\\\\m=\frac{k}{4\pi^2f^2}=\frac{427N/m}{(4\pi^2)(4.49Hz)^2}=0.536kg$

c) to find the amplitude of the motion you need to know the time t. This can computed by dividing the equation for v with the equation for x and taking the arctan:

$\frac{v}{x}=-\omega tan(\omega t)\\\\t=\frac{1}{\omega}arctan(-\frac{v}{x\omega })=\frac{1}{28.25rad/s}arctan(-\frac{-12.1m/s}{(0.134m)(28.25rad/s)})=2.57s$
