On a very muddy football field, a 110kg linebacker tackles an 85kg halfback. Immediately before the collision, the linebacker is

slipping with a velocity of 8.5m/s north and the halfback is sliding with a velocity of 7.2m/s east. i have no idea how to even set up this problem .. a walk through would be appreciated (:

<span>Using conservation of energy and momentum you can solve this question. M_l = mass of linebacker
M_ h = mass of halfback
V_l = velocity of linebacker
V_h = velocity of halfback

So for conservation of momentum,
rho = mv

M_l x V_li + M_h x V_hi = M_l x V_lf + M_h x V_hf

For conservation of energy (kinetic)
E_k = 1/2mv^2/ 1/2mV_li^2 + 1/2mV_{hi}^2 = 1/2mV_{lf}^2 + 1/2mV_{hf}^2

Where i and h stand for initial and final values.
We are already told the masses, \[M_l = 110kg\] \[M_h = 85kg\] and the final velocities \[V_{fi} = 8.5ms^{-1}\] and \[V_{ih} = 7.2ms^{-1} </span>

Modern space suits augment the basic pressure garment with a complex system of equipment and environmental systems designed to keep the wearer comfortable, and to minimize the effort required to bend the limbs, resisting a soft pressure garment's natural tendency to stiffen against the vacuum. A self-contained oxygen supply and environmental control system is frequently employed to allow complete freedom of movement, independent of the spacecraft.
Three types of spacesuits exist for different purposes: IVA (intravehicular activity), EVA (extravehicular activity), and IEVA (intra/extravehicular activity). IVA suits are meant to be worn inside a pressurized spacecraft, and are therefore lighter and more comfortable. IEVA suits are meant for use inside and outside the spacecraft, such as the Gemini G4C suit. They include more protection from the harsh conditions of space, such as protection from micrometeorites and extreme temperature change. EVA suits, such as the EMU, are used outside spacecraft, for either planetary exploration or spacewalks. They must protect the wearer against all conditions of space, as well as provide mobility and functionality.

A current of 15.0 A flows through an electric heater operating on 120 V. Compute the power consumption of the electric heater.
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

There will be 1800 W power consumption in heater

Explanation:

We have given current flowing in the heater I = 15 A

Voltage on which heater is operating V = 120 volt

We have to find the power consumption in the heater

We know that power consumption is given by P = VI

So power consumption in heater = 120 × 15 = 1800 W

So there will be 1800 W power consumption in heater

Energy transformation in wound spring of a toy car?<br>give your own answrr​
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

The work done in winding the spring gets stored in the wound up spring in the form of elastic potential energy (i.e potential energy due to change in shape). ... During this process, the potential energy stored in it gets converted to kinetic energy. This turns the wheels of the toy car.

Determine the binding energy per nucleon of an mg-24 nucleus. the mg-24 nucleus has a mass of 24.30506. a proton has a mass of 1
My name is Ann [436]

The mass of Mg-24 is 24.30506 amu, it contains 12 protons and 12 neutrons.

Theoretical mass of Mg-24:

The theoretical mass of Mg-24 is:

Hydrogen atom mass = 12 × 1.00728 amu = 12.0874 amu

Neutron mass = 12 x 1.008665 amu = 12.104 amu

Theoretical mass = Hydrogen atom mass + Neutron mass = 24.1913 amu

Note that the mass defect is:

Mass defect = Actual mass - Theoretical mass : 24.30506 amu- 24.1913 amu= 0.11376 amu

Calculating the binding energy per nucleon:

\frac{B.E.}{nucleon}=\frac{(0.11376amu)(931Mev/amu}{24nucleons}  = 4.41294 Mev/nucleon

So approximately 4.41294 Mev/necleon

A resistor, an inductor, and a switch are all connected in series to an ideal battery of constant terminal voltage. Suppose at f
Airida [17]

Answer:

c. The steady-state value of the current depends on the resistance of the resistor.

Explanation:

Since all the components are connected in series, when the switch is at first open, current will not flow round the circuit. As current needs to flow through from the positive terminal of the battery through the resistor, inductor, and  switch to the negative terminal of the battery.

But the moment the switch is closed, at the initial time t = 0, the current flow through from the positive terminal of the battery through the resistor, inductor, and switch to the negative terminal of the battery. It then begins to increase at a rate that depends upon the value of the inductance of the inductor.
