The football players collide in a completely inelastic collision, in other words they have the same velocity after the collision, this velocity has a magnitude V=1.6m/s.

We need to use the conservation of momentum Law, the total momentum is the same before and after the collision, at the initial point the receiver does not have any speed

$m_{tackler}*v_{tackler}=(m_{tackler}+m_{receiver})V$ (1)

We solve in order to find the receiver mass:

$m_{receiver}={m_{tackler}*v_{tackler}/V}-m_{tackler}$

$m_{receiver}=115Kg*3.1/(1.6)-115Kg=107.8Kg$

11. A plow pushes 100 kg of snow with 300 N of force. How much is the pile of snow<br> accelerated?

Fed [463]

Answer:

Explanation:

This is an application of Newton's second Law.

Formula

F = m * a

F = 300 N

m = 100 kg

a = ?

F = m * a

300N = 100 kg * a Divide by 100

300N/100kg = a

a = 3 m/sec^2
