Football player A has a mass of 210 pounds and is running at a rate of 5.0 mi/hr. He collides with player B. Player B has a mass

of 190 pounds and is running in the same direction at 3.0 mi/hr. Which of the following statements is true?
-The momentum of player A is equal to that of player B.
-The momentum of player A is greater than that of player B.
-The momentum of player A is less than that of player B.

The equation for momentum is p = mv where p is the omentum, m is the mass and v is the velocity. Calculating the momentum for each football player, player A will have a momentum of 1050 lb-mi/h and player B will have a momentum of 570 lb-mi/h. Therefore, momentum of player A is greater than that of player B.

Answer:

the momentum of player A is greater than player B.

Therefore, Option 2 is correct.

Step-by-Step explanation:

We have been given the velocity of the players and mass of the players.

Player A:

Velocity is 5m/hr

Mass 210 pounds

Player B:

Velocity is 3m/hr

Mass 190 pounds

We have a formula for momentum:

p=mv

p is momentum

m is mass

v is velocity

We will  find momentums for both the players:

Momentum of player A:

on substituting the values we get:

p=210\cdot 5=1050 pounds  

Momentum of player B:

on substituting the values we get:

p=190\cdot 3=570 pounds  

Hence, the momentum of player A is greater than player B.

Therefore, Option 2 is correct.

Which state will not change shape or volume when moved to a different container?
grandymaker [24]

Ans: C) Solid

Explanation: We will look into different states

A) Liquid : In liquid state molecules are not very tightly bound to each other. So, they have no fixed shape . They take the shape of container in which they are kept.

B) Gas : In gaseous state molecules are very loosely bound so they have very less intermolecular forces so they have much more freedom of movement.So, it will be also not correct.

D) Plasma : In Plasma state approximately equal amount of positive or negative charges are there, although its a type of hot ionized gaseous state but but due its different properties then other gases it is considered the 'fourth' state. And it also can't maintain it's definite shape and volume.So we will eliminate that also.

C) Solid : Finally we are left with solid state. Here molecules are tightly bound to each other . So, it doesn't change its shape and volume when kept in different container.

So 'Solid' state is the correct choice.

Hope it helps!!!

A current of 6.0 A runs through a circuit for 2.5 minutes.
Mekhanik [1.2K]
Current is measured as charge per unit time. To get change, simply multiply the current with time:

6A*2.5mins = 6A*(2.5*60)seconds = 900Coulombs

A circular coil of wire of radius 5.0 cm has 20 turns and carries a current of 2.0 A. The coil lies in a magnetic field of magni
Korvikt [17]

Answer:a. Magnetic dipole moment is 0.3412Am²

b. Torque is zero(0)N.m

Explanation: The magnetic dipole moment U is given as the product of the number of turns n times the current I times the area A

That is,

U = n*I*A

But Area A is given as pi*radius² since it is a circular coil

Radius given is 5cm converting to meter we divide by 100 so we have our radius to be 0.05m. So area A is

A = 3.142*(0.05)² =7.86*EXP {-3} m²

Current I is 2 A

Number of turns is 20

So magnetic dipole moment U is

U = 20*2*7.86*EXP {-3}=0.3142A.m²

b. Torque is given as the cross product of the magnetic field B and magnetic dipole moment U

Torque = B x U =B*U*Sine(theta)

But since the magnetic field is directed parallel to the plane of the coil from the question, it means that the angle between them is zero and sine zero is equals 0(zero) if you substitute that into the formula for torque you will find out that your torque would equals zero(0)N.m
