Jerome plays middle linebacker for souths varsity football team. In a game against cross-town rival north, he delivered a hit to

north's 82-kg running back, changing his eastward velocity of 5.6 m/s into a westward velocity of 2.5 m/s. Determine that momentum change of the running back

The momentum change of the running back is - 664.2 kg m/s or 664 west.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Momentum is defined as the change in velocity of any object along with its mass. So mathematically, momentum can be derived using the product of mass with the change in velocity.

           \text { Momentum change }=m \times \Delta v

As here mass is given as 82 kg and the initial velocity was 5.6 m/s and final velocity is 2.5 m/s.

      Initial Momentum = m \times \text { initial velocity }=82 \times 5.6=459.2 \mathrm{kg} \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}

      Final Momentum = m \times \text { final velocity }=82 \times(-2.5)=-205 \mathrm{kg} \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}

      Momentum change = Final Momentum - Initial Momentum

      Momentum change = - 205 - 459.2 = - 664.2 kg m/s or 664 west

Thus, the changing momentum is -664.2 kg m/s. The negative sign indicates that the momentum is acting in the opposite direction on changing in the direction of velocity.

Which example provides the most complete description of an object's motion?
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

The hiker followed a road heading north for 2 miles in 30 minutes.

Explanation:

In order to describe the motion of an object, distance covered and time taken must be required. The total path covered by an object is called the distance travelled.

The hiker followed a road heading north for 2 miles in 30 minutes. This describes the motion of hiker. The motion shows how fast the hiker is moving.  

Distance, d = 2 miles = 3218.6 m

times, t = 30 minutes = 1800 seconds

So, we can say that the hiker is moving with a speed of 1.78 m/s in north direction.

Hence, this is the required solution.

Explain why, under some circumstances, it is not advisable to weld a structure that is fabricated with a 3003 aluminum alloy. Hi
Scorpion4ik [409]

The 3003 aluminum alloy is made up of 1.25% Magnesium and 0.1% Copper. This combination is designed to increase the strength of the material over other types of alloys such as those of the 1000 series. This alloy provides a medium strength and can be educated by cold work.

The alloy is not heat treatable and generally has good formability, corrosion resistance and weldability.

However, being a material that hardens by cold work, welding a 3003 Aluminum structure will cause the body to undergo recrystallization which will generate a loss in the 'resistance' of the material and the force capable of withstanding. If this aluminum will be used for structural purposes, it should not be welded. It would be better to perform the structure with a 6061 aluminum, which has similar characteristics and is not so affected by welding.

A rock falls from the top of a hill to the bottom. The total energy of the rock at the top isn’t the same as the sum of its pote
mart [117]

Answer:

A) some of the rocks energy is transformed to thermal energy

Explanation:

If we neglect air resistance during the fall of the rock, than the mechanical energy of the rock (which is sum of its potential energy and its kinetic energy) would be constant during the entire motion, so the total energy of the rock at the top would be the same as the sum of its potential energy and kinetic energy at the bottom.

However, this not occurs, due to the presence of air resistance. In fact, air resistance acts against the fall of the rock, and because of the friction between the molecules of air and the surface of the rock, the rock loses part of its energy. This energy is converted into thermal energy of the molecules of the air.
