<u><em>heyaaaaa</em></u>

<u><em>Momentum before Pb = momentum after Pa</em></u>

Pb = 75*6 - 100*8 = -350kgm/s = Pa = (75+100)V where V is the velocity of the combined mass of the two players after the collision.

<u><em>Velocity has magnitude (speed) and direction. V = -350/175 = -2m/s </em></u>

So the two players are moving at 2m/s in the direction the 100kg player was moving before the collision.

<em><u>I arbitrarily chose the direction of the smaller player as positive so the opposite direction (of the larger player) had to be negative. </u></em>

hope it helpssss!!!!!!

Two cyclists start on a race between points A and D on two different routes. Cyclist X takes the route passing through the equid
ollegr [7]
The displacement is the shortest distance between two points, which is 546.41. The displacement for both is 546.41 meters

Average velocity of X = (200 + 200 + 200) / 30
Average velocity of X = 20 m/s

Average velocity of Y = 546.41 / 30 = 18.2 m/s

How does an increase in thermal energy affect the state of matter?
shusha [124]

Answer:

When thermal energy is added to a substance, its temperature increases, which can change its state from solid to liquid (melting), liquid to gas (vaporization), or solid to gas (sublimation). ... When the pressure exerted on a substance increases, it can cause the substance to condense.

Explanation:

Hope it will help use

A rock is dropped from a height of 3,245 m. If we ignore air resistance, how fast will it be travelling after it falls for 3.4 s
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

<u>954.4m/s</u>

Explanation:

For a free falling object,it has constant acceleration and a changing velocity.

By using the velocity-time formula, the velocity can be obtained.

The height the rock travelled is the distance.

From,

Velocity (v) = Distance (d) / Time(t)

v = 3245m/3.4s

v = <u>954.4m/s</u>

That js the answer I got. Hope it's right.
