A girl is standing still in the middle of a baseball field. The girl catches the baseball and begins to move in the same directi

Answer:

inelastic collision

Explanation:

an elastic collision occurs when both total momentum and total kinetic energy are conserved, while during an inelastic collision only the total momentum is conserved, while the total kinetic energy is not. In particular, if two objects stick together after the collision, only the momentum is conserved, so it is an inelastic collision.

In this problem, we have a girl that catches a ball and then continues together with the ball: the two 'objects' (girl and ball) stick together after the collision, so this is an inelastic collision.

A 91.5 kg football player running east at 2.73 m/s tackles a 63.5 kg player running east at 3.09 m/s. what is their velocity aft
vivado [14]

Their velocity afterwards is 2.88 m/s east

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of momentum. In fact, for an isolated system (= no external force), the total momentum must be conserved before and after the collision. So we can write:

p_i = p_f\\m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 = (m_1 + m_2)v

where: in this case:

m_1 = 91.5 kg is the mass of the first player

u_1 = 2.73 m/s is the initial velocity of the first player (choosing east as positive direction)

m_2 = 63.5 kg is the mass of the second player

u_2 = 3.09 m/s is the initial velocity of the second player

v is their combined velocity afterwards

Solving for v, we find:

v = \frac{m_1 u_1+m_2 u_2}{m_1+m_2}=\frac{(91.5)(2.73)+(63.5)(3.09)}{91.5+63.5}=2.88 m/s

And the sign is positive, so the direction is east.

Find the difference between two masses measured as 123.6 grams and 115.972 grams. Express the answer to the correct number of si
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

The difference is 7.6 grams.

Explanation:

In mathematics the difference of two numbers is express as the subtraction between them:

         

a-b

So to find out the difference between the two measured masses, a will be represented by 123.6 grams since is the bigger number, and b by 115.972 grams.

Therefore, it is get:

123.6grams-115.972grams = 7.6grams

<u>Hence, the difference is 7.6 grams. </u>

The result of 7.628 will be expressed as 7.6 to have the correct number of significant figures.          

 

Notice how that can be express in units of kilograms too since there is 1000 gram in 1 kilogram:

7.6grams . \frac{1Kg}{1000grams} ⇒ 7.6x10^{-3}Kg

In Trial III, a different, looser, spring is used; its force constant is 23.1 N/m. The suspended mass is the same as the one in
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

T=0.827s

Explanation:

The period of a spring can be calculated with the equation

T=2\pi w

But we know as well that w is given by,

w=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}

Replacing,

w=\frac{2\pi}{T}= \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}\\T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}\\T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{0.4}{23.1}}

So we have that

T=0.827s
