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.

If you connected 10 of these 12V (10 W) lamps in parallel, to the 12V source, how much current would the source have to supply
Flauer [41]

Answer:

T=8.33A

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Number of battery n=10

Voltage sourceE=12V

Lamp PowerP=10W

Generally the equation for Resistance is mathematically given by

 R=\frac{V^2}{P}

 R=\frac{12^2}{10}

 R=14.4ohms

Therefore

 R_{eq}=\frac{14.4}{10}

 R_{eq}=1.44

Generally the equation for Current is mathematically given by

 T=\ffrac{V}{Req}

 T=\frac{12}{1.44}

 T=8.33A

The opening to a cave is a tall, 30.0-cm-wide crack. A bat is preparing to leave the cave emits a 30.0 kHz ultrasonic chirp. How
Vlada [557]

Answer:

The value is  w =  7.54 \  m        

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The length of the crack is  a =  0.3 \  m

     The  frequency is  f =  30.0 \ kHz =  30 *10^{3} \  Hz

      The distance outside the cave that is being consider is  D =  100 \  m

      The speed of sound is v_s =  340 \  m/s

Generally the wavelength of the wave is mathematically represented as

        \lambda =  \frac{v}f}

=>     \lambda =  \frac{340 }{30*10^{3}}

=>     \lambda = 0.0113 \ m/s

Generally for a  single slit the path difference between the interference patterns of the sound wave and the center  is mathematically represented as  

          y =  \frac{ n *  \lambda * D}{a}

=>     y =  \frac{ 1  *  0.0113 * 100}{0.3}

=>     y = 3.77 \  m

Generally the width of the sound beam is mathematically represented as

         w =  2 *  y

=>      w =  2 *  3.77

=>      w =  7.54 \  m

A capacitor of capacitance C has charge Q and stored energy is U if the charge is increased to 2Q then energy will be A)4U B)2U
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

2u

Explanation:

2u

W = Vq

q = CV

W = V.CV

W = CV²

W/C = V²

V = √(W/C)

√(W1/C1) = √(W2/C2)

√(u/c) = √(x/2c)

x = 2u
