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 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.

The earth and the moon exert forces on each other which forces is greater? explain
Helen [10]

Thank you for your question, what you say is true, the gravitational force exerted by the Earth on the Moon has to be equal to the centripetal force.

An interesting application of this principle is that it allows you to determine a relation between the period of an orbit and its size. Let us assume for simplicity the Moon's orbit as circular (it is not, but this is a good approximation for our purposes).

The gravitational acceleration that the Moon experience due to the gravitational attraction from the Earth is given by:

ag=G(MEarth+MMoon)/r2

Where G is the gravitational constant, M stands for mass, and r is the radius of the orbit. The centripetal acceleration is given by:

acentr=(4 pi2 r)/T2

Where T is the period. Since the two accelerations have to be equal, we obtain:

(4 pi2 r) /T2=G(MEarth+MMoon)/r2

Which implies:

r3/T2=G(MEarth+MMoon)/4 pi2=const.

This is the so-called third Kepler law, that states that the cube of the radius of the orbit is proportional to the square of the period.

This has interesting applications. In the Solar System, for example, if you know the period and the radius of one planet orbit, by knowing another planet's period you can determine its orbit radius. I hope that this answers your question.

A closed system’s internal energy changes by 178 J as a result of being heated with 658 J of energy.
statuscvo [17]
Internal energy of the system changes by ΔE = 178 J.
Heat given to the system = Q = +658 J.

According to the first law of thermodynamics, 
ΔE = Q + W
178 = 658 + W 
∴ W = 178-658 = -480 J

Minus sign indicates that work is done by the system.
