The resultant force on the object is
∑ <em>F</em> = 〈0, 8〉 N + 〈6, 0〉 N = 〈6, 8〉 N
which has a magnitude of
<em>F</em> = √((6 N)² + (8 N)²) = √(100 N²) = 10 N
By Newton's second law, the acceleration has magnitude <em>a</em> such that
<em>F</em> = <em>m a</em>
10 N = (2 kg) <em>a</em>
<em>a</em> = (10 N) / (2 kg)
<em>a</em> = 5 m/s²
so the answer is B.
Answers:
a) -2.54 m/s
b) -2351.25 J
Explanation:
This problem can be solved by the <u>Conservation of Momentum principle</u>, which establishes that the initial momentum
must be equal to the final momentum
:
(1)
Where:
(2)
(3)
is the mass of the first football player
is the velocity of the first football player (to the south)
is the mass of the second football player
is the velocity of the second football player (to the north)
is the final velocity of both football players
With this in mind, let's begin with the answers:
a) Velocity of the players just after the tackle
Substituting (2) and (3) in (1):
(4)
Isolating
:
(5)
(6)
(7) The negative sign indicates the direction of the final velocity, to the south
b) Decrease in kinetic energy of the 110kg player
The change in Kinetic energy
is defined as:
(8)
Simplifying:
(9)
(10)
Finally:
(10) Where the minus sign indicates the player's kinetic energy has decreased due to the perfectly inelastic collision
Answer:
The correct answer should be
A. 20 Joules
Explanation:
I'm taking the K12 Unit Test: Energy - Part 1 right now
The thermal efficiency of an engine is

where
W is the work done by the engine
Q is the heat absorbed by the engine to do the work
In this problem, the work done by the engine is W=200 J, while the heat exhausted is Q=600 J, so the efficiency of the machine is
