You can jump 3 m (10 feet) off of a diving board and into a swimming pool and be uninjured. However, if you jumped from the same

height onto concrete it would be very bad. Use the principles of impulse and momentum to explain this.
2) A 125 kg linebacker running to the right at 2.5 m/s and an 80 kg quarterback running to the left at 3 m/s collide in midair. The linebacker holds on to the quarterback and they move off together. What is their velocity (magnitude and direction) after this collision?

Answer:

1) this is due to force due to momentum change of a body falling from such a height.

2) they move with velocity of 2.69 m/s towards the right.

Explanation:

1) in the case where one jumps 3 meters into water, the water deform on impact extending the time of impact for your body's momentum to get to zero, so that the time it takes for the momentum of your body due to your mass and your velocity to get to zero is relatively long lessening the force felt due to the impact.

For a fall from the same height onto a concrete, the concrete does not deform at all. This means that there is a very short time for your momentum to get to zero and hence the force is huge. In order to cushion this a little, your body deforms in a bid to reduce the force and this is very deadly.

This is in line with Newton's second law of motion which states that the rate of change of momentum is proportional to the force produced.

2)

M1 = 125 kg

M2 = 80 kg

V1 = 2.5 m/s

V2 = 3 m/s

From momentum conservation, total initial momentum must be equal to the total momentum after collision.

Momentum = mass x velocity.

That is,

M1V1 + M2V2 = (M1 + M2) Vf

Where Vf is their final velocity together.

Note that the masses stick together because the collision is inelastic.

Substituting and solving, we have

(125 x 2.5) + (80 x 3) = (125 + 80)Vf

312.5 + 240 = 205Vf

552.5 = 205Vf

Vf = 552.5/205 = 2.69 m/s

Note that the linebacker runner has the greater momentum 125 x 2.5 = 312.15

This means they both move to the right at velocity of 2.69 m/s

How much time will it take to perform 440 joule of work at a rare of 11 w?​
kifflom [539]

Answer:

40sec

Explanation:

Data

Work = 440 J

Power= 11watt

time = ?

Power = work done/time

===> time = work done/power

= 440/11

= 40sec

Determine the kinetic energy of a 10 Kg roller coaster car that is moving with a speed of 2m/s.
skelet666 [1.2K]

In this question all required information's are already provided. Based on these details the answer to the question can be easily determined. Let us now write down all the information's that are already given.

Mass of the roller coaster = 1000 kg

Velocity of the roller coaster = 20.0 m/s

We know the formula for finding the kinetic energy is

Kinetic energy = 0.5 * mass * (velocity) ^2

                      = 0.5 * 1000 * (20)^2

                      = 0.5 * 1000 * 400

                      = 200000 Joules

So the Kinetic energy of the roller coaster is 200000 joules.

i hope this helps you friend good luck on your quiz or lesson

What's the difference between meteoroids, meteorites, and meteors?
SVEN [57.7K]

You're talking about a grain of sand or a stone or a rock that's drifting in space, and then the Earth happens to get in the way, so the stone falls down to Earth, and it makes a bright streak of light while it's falling through the atmosphere and burning up from the friction.

-- While it's drifting in space, it's a <em>meteoroid</em>.

-- While it's falling through the atmosphere burning up and making a bright streak of light, it's a <em>meteor</em>.

-- If it doesn't completely burn up and there's some of it left to fall on the ground, then the leftover piece on the ground is a <em>meteorite</em>.
